Scientists discover tiny solar panels that create themselves | DVICE

I wonder what their efficiency is and the cost of creation. Cool concept though.

Mirrorcube House

This may be the coolest house ever though the zombie proof cube with the drawbridge would be a close second.

Liquid Water on Europa and Dolphin Whistles help solve cosmic mysteries

Water is probably trapped in the ice shell of Europa. It would be interesting to see if there is life there or to seed life there and even more awesome to develop a colony there.

I really think that interdisciplinary approaches will lead to more and more insights as disparate fields connect from acoustics to neutrinos via dolphin whistles!

Touch Non-Screen from Displair

This is super cool. I guess it uses fog and some sort of sensor. The future is now!

 

Update:

Apparently it uses an infrared camera and can detect up to 1500 touch points with a resolution of a cm.
