Photogenic Innovation

Here are a couple of new things tenuously linked by their beautiful photographs.

1) A Roomba-Trail

The spiral turns it from tangle to art. (from : www.crunchgear.com)

2) A fold-up sheltery thing.

(from www.markusmichalski.d : via www.tuvie.com)

I’m not entirely sure how much shelter it would provide… but… well, it’s cool. Maybe it would work as a fold-upable sun umbrella.

3) Jenoptik’s microscale thermoforming process

“Jenoptik says its hot-stamping technique can cheaply and reliably burn in nanometer-scale features to create chip-scale biomedical laboratories. The fully automated process can yield dozens of different chip configurations, including microscopic scaffolding for cell cultivation and tiny reaction chambers prewired with microelectrodes.” – spectrum.ieee.org
