Bizarre Illuminated 3D Construction Kit Shines Real Bright

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 08:10 AM PST

What do you do with a few dozen plastic parts that could be joined together? Make scale models, of course. But unlike other scale models, each small part of this luminous 3D Construction kit has an embedded LED bulb for neon madness. The result is a glow-in-the-dark piece of movable furniture that even blinks if the controls are set to.

Perfect Christmas Gift: High Def Video Camera Spy Pen

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 07:45 AM PST

Capacity-wise, this is one impressive pen. The small embedded lens can take up to five hours of AVI video footage plus 20,000 jpg images thanks to a hefty 8 GB of storage space. The micro-lens of the camera is the small dot above the pocket clip, subtle and oh so very secret. Spies, professional intriguers, and blackmailers should take note.

New Cooling Method For PCs Developed

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 07:30 AM PST

Some of the biggest events in sci-tech happen with nary a whimper. This seems to be the case with a new breakthrough that could radically alter how most consumer electronics are made. But since the exciting stuff happened in a lab somewhere (Vanderbilt University to be specific), it won't send massive ripples across the world. Before a torrent of rather technical and utterly nerdy factoids comes pouring forth, let it be writ that this thermal breakthrough involved nanoribbons, a science journal, and this guy named Li.

Bacteria Being Compromised To Strengthen Crops

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 06:35 AM PST

In wheat fields and rice paddies across the face of the earth, a silent war is being waged. If this sounds like a build up to an awful summer flick that may or may not be directed by Michael Bay, it isn’t. See, there really is a war going on between plants and bacteria and scientists think they’ve found a weapon that can tip the balance.

Only In Japan: A Really Smart Intuitive Vending Machine (Video)

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 05:20 AM PST

Seen below is a snappily dressed young man at an Electroncis Fair. He’s checking out the latest three way collaboration between Sanden, Okaya Electronics, and Intel, which is a ‘smart’ vending machine. What it has got better than its peers is a massive 65 inch display capable of displaying graphics and animations. Other than being an entertainment portal that attracts consumers, the new vending machine (it doesn't have a name yet) by Sanden and its partners also profiles its patrons. But wait, there’s more.

Apocalyptic War Toy: Foam Dart Rotary Cannon

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 05:16 AM PST

In what amounts to crass wish-fulfillment for boys and man-children alike, a new portable gatling gun has hit the market and the best thing abut it are its non-lethal capabilities. Sure, a clever mod could make it shoot more unwholesome projectiles, but as it is, the Foam Dart Rotary Cannon is a bad ass. If you put this in the hands of some kid, team him up with a bunch of other likeminded pre-teen war freaks with Nerf guns, plus slap on some home made armor then maybe they can re-enact Halo: Reach in its entirety.

Book A Flight? For KLM, Go Facebook It Instead (Video)

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 05:11 AM PST

Dutch airliner KLM have recently outed their latest bid to make flying a more adventurous experience. Rather than bother with a travel agent or go for those last-minute and utterly horrible airport ticket purchases, they now allow passengers to choose their seats thru a Facebook-powered app. There’s more to Meat & Seat than finding a surprise seatmate via Facebook though, as users can access Facebook profiles of other passengers to choose exactly who they want to sit next too. That’s pretty nice.

Allegedly Record Breaking Electric Wine Opener Screws Its Rivals

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 05:03 AM PST

If the title above comes off as a little too screwy, forgive the writer’s awful proclivity for horrid puns. Seen below is the blandly titled ‘Electric Wine Opener’ that’s being billed as a best of breed model. According to the source material, it can unscrew corks at a rapid pace without any pressure or effort from the user. In fact, the same glowing copy cited an ‘expert’ who praised how the Electric Wine Opener, with just the slightest press of a few buttons, undid 49 bottles without anyone breaking a sweat.

Magnetic Levitating Sculpture Suspends Objects In Mid Air

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 04:57 AM PST

Magnetic sculptures area a sure sign of chronic geekyness. You just need to have something levitating in your abode to prove you live in a place where science and fantasy coincide. Seen below is a miniature magnetic sculpture that’s being sold in a knockdown kit. Notice the levitating bit that’s defying gravity? It’s a small object caught between the power of two magnets. But keep in mind that since this is a magnetic levitation sculpture, that’s pretty much all it does. Might be a good paperweight but don’t push it.

Somewhat Edible Portal 2 Inspired PotatOS Science Kit Now On Sale

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 04:43 AM PST

Potatoes are…interesting. Nutritious too. Small wonder then that of all the edible stuff that’s grown from soil, potatoes are the most susceptible to simple mods. Same goes for the new PotatOS science kit inspired by the same from Portal 2. Not only does it come with the gadget-y parts, but a booklet with original content and a few pre-packaged goodies.
