Scientists are making good progress on making things invisible. They are making progress on stealth technologies using meta materials such as nanometer-sized plasmonic material that scatters light and other electromagnetic waves. Success so far seems to be limited to very small items but could be used to provide a 3dcloak around items that protrude from [...]

Just because you CAN print something interesting out on your new 3D printer, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Brought to you [...]
Nano-scale terahertz antenna created, hand-held tricorders incoming? T-rays are capable of penetrating a few millimeters of your skin — this is obviously useful for security applications, but also for medical imaging. Get the story here: [extremetech]
A secret hovercraft with a revolutionary new propulsion design appears to be coming soon. Does anyone have any video of d-dalus in flight? Or some concept drawings of it in flight at least? There was a POPSCI article this month on it but it didn’t go into much detail. Here are a few pictures though [...]
A museum in London is showing a cape woven out of genuine spider silk. Someone with a lot of patience, a lot of money and a WHOLE LOT of spiders spent some serious time on this one. I’m surprised somehow that the Spider Cape isn’t red and blue. See the full story here: http://www.ecouterre.com/worlds-largest-cape-made-from-golden-spider-silk-goes-on-display/
The world’s tiniest frog. Keep in mind that depending on the size of your monitor you are probably seeing it bigger than actual size on your screen. Click here for link with more info and more pictures.
