Surface electron band structure of bismuth telluride.
Move over, silicon—it may be time to give the Valley a new name. Physicists at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have confirmed the existence of a type of material that could one day provide dramatically faster, more efficient computer chips.

Taking swimmer ear to a whole new level
If you ever swim laps, you’ll know that it can be a pretty solitary experience. Sure, there may be other people around you, but most of the time you’re just alone with your thoughts as you plow up and down the pool.

Raj Krishnan, a PhD student in bioengineering at the University of California San Diego (UCSD)
Cancers that are detected early have the best chance of being cured but, until now, there were no methods of detecting cancer at its earliest stages.  Raj Krishnan, a PhD student in bioengineering at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), [...]

European researchers in robotics, psychology and cognitive sciences have developed a robot that can predict the intentions of its human partner. This ability to anticipate (or question) actions could make human-robot interactions more natural.

Would office beans smell be better than office donuts?

Sometimes, when you’re sitting at your desk, all you want are some piping-hot baked beans. Hey, we all know it, why not admit it? That’s why Heinz is working on a USB beans microwave.
No, this isn’t a joke. The Beanzawave-yes, Beanzawave-is billed as the world’s smallest microwave, measuring [...]

Energy from the ocean is beginning to make a splash
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Washington state agreed yesterday to coordinate environmental reviews and establish licensing schedules for emerging hydrokinetic technologies.

In nature, trees pull vast amounts of water from their roots up to their leaves hundreds of feet above the ground through capillary action, but now scientists at the University of Rochester have created a simple slab of metal that lifts liquid using the same principle—but does so at a speed that would make nature [...]

So much for street bikes. This bike really burns some serious rubber.
Motor madman Bob Maddox is back with a twin-engine jet bike that makes the raucous rocket he rode last year look tame.
He recently bolted a dual-exhaust pulse jet engine to the side of an ordinary bicycle, donned a leather jacket and helmet and then [...]

 
Tomatoes that looks like eggplant yum
Scientists have developed purple tomatoes which they hope may be able to keep cancer at bay.
The fruit are rich in an antioxidant pigment called anthocyanin which is thought to have anti-cancer properties.

This is perfect for every nicotine addicted spy out there
Brando’s new Zippo lighter has more to it than meets the eye. Specifically, it’s got a videocamera and microphone built in (well, a “mircophone” according to their press images, but let’s go ahead and assume they mean microphone).

 
Keyboarding for dummies
There are those who have never learned how to type. These people use a method called hunt n peck. Understandably, these people have a hard time trying to hunt and peck on a normal keyboard. With this keyboard, just hit the ABC key and it will switch to alphabetical order, making it easier [...]

Solar powered trash can hits philly
There’s a new trash can in Philadelphia. Several in fact. These brand new solar trash cans are being installed on philly sidewalks and are entirely powered by the sun.

Escape building emergencies with batman like style
When Batman needs to get out of a skyscraper, he doesn’t take the stairs or the elevator. No, he rappels down the building. And now you too can leave your next board meeting like a superhero.

Invisibility is on the horizon
While some work toward an invisibility cloak, University of Illinois professor Nicholas Fang is taking steps to create a similar material, only for sound, that could, for example, make ships invisible to SONAR. To successfully do this, of course, requires we break the laws of physics. But, you know, whatever.

Using data from NASA’s THEMIS mission, a team of University of Alberta researchers has pinpointed the impact epicenter of an earthbound space storm as it crashes into the atmosphere, and given an advance warning of its arrival.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Pretty Shower…
This shower head has 96 programmable LEDs of various colors to provide a surreal shower-in-the-dark experience. Sounds pretty cool until you realize that this experience will cost you over four grand US. £2,799.00, to be exact.

 
Not exactly the latest fashion…. but brilliant!
Light switches, TV remote controls and even house keys could become a thing of the past thanks to brain-computer interface (BCI) technology being developed in Europe that lets users perform everyday tasks with thoughts alone.

 
One word “Cool”
As the temperature soars to 30 degrees Celsius here today, I am praising my air conditioner; but it also got me thinking about more fashionable and eco-friendly ways to cool off. As I searched for cooling clothing, I stumbled across designer Katharina Ludwig’s unique ice jewelry, which boasts some beautiful designs that will [...]

Surveyor makes open source robot controllers that have quite a fan following among do-it-yourself drone enthusiasts. The company’s core product is the SRV-1, a programmable mobile robot controller that is open source,wireless and video enabled.

Oxygen drawn from the air reacts within the porous carbon to release the electrical charge in this lithium-air battery. 
A new type of air-fueled battery could give up to ten times the energy storage of designs currently available.  This step-change in capacity could pave the way for a new generation of electric cars, mobile phones and [...]

Now this car helps you reach a whole new level of cramped
Small cars are one of the solutions to our energy problems, but this guy’s gone too far. Thanks to 47-year-old Terry Watkins of the U.K., you’re now looking at the world’s smallest car, an absurd 39 inches tall, 26 inches wide and 51 inches [...]
