“Nano-Tex Resist spills fabric is used as the surface of this incredibly striking display. Liquids just bead and roll off this regular fabric.”

My only beef… the commentary’s in Japanese… T.T

We’re enamoured by nano materials and rightly so. But here’s a guy who’s exhorting us to look back to ceramics (e.g. porcelain, glazes) for the future. What say you?

Video: Nanotechnology

There’s a lot of buzz about nano-sized technology. It’s machines or materials that are measured in nano-meters (one-billionth of a meter) and could be used to eradicate bacteria or viruses or deliver medicines and help wherever it’s needed in our bodies!

It’s a fairly new topic (not so much in Science Fiction) and we’re actually seeing some results in these early stages!

Video; Weird Clothing Inventions

A look back at wearable inventions through the years – from the surveillance dress (2003) to the air-conditioned shirt (2007). These kooky things were invented for a purpose; be it disguise, protection or comfort.

But really, would you wear them?

Video: Death by pop rocks?

Pop rocks are candy that generate alot of gas. Add coke to that, and it’d be a huge gas-a-thon, yeah? Apparently an urban legend has it that mixing pop rocks with coke will blow up your stomach. True or false? The Mythbusters put it to the test!

Featured Video: iPad Guitar

This turntable/guitar/mixer/whatever by Franz K is powered by the iPad. It leverages upon iPad’s apps to create gadget music. Might this be the beginning of a musical revolution that’s spearheaded by flashing lights, blinking dots, and mobile phones?

Who knows? But it’s a great time to jump onto the bandwagon yeah?

Featured Video: 20 Dancing Robots

Think you that robots are gears, pulleys and claws? Dance and laugh with these 20 Nao Robots at the Shanghai Expo.

Here's a sneak peek at the soon to be famous dancing Nao robots, the technological mascot of the France Pavilion. The robots are "rehearsing" before their first public appearance on June 21, on the day of France Pavilion Day, which coincides with Music Day in France. The performance showcases Nao's range of smooth yet agile and rhythmic movements to a 3-part music compilation including the famous orchestral masterpiece Bolero by French composer Maurice Ravel. This also marks the first time robots have supported an artistic field evoking emotions. Nao is a humanoid, autonomous, interactive and completely programmable robot created by Aldebaran Robotics (www.aldebaran-robotics.com/en), the worldwide leader in humanoid robotics.

Feature Video: Mind Control a Robot Arm

In Surrogates, Bruce Willis was using his mind to control his robot alter-ego. Back then, it was Sci-Fiction. Now it’s a reality. At least it is for this monkey who uses its thoughts to control a robot arm.

It’s just a matter of time before we, humans, get to do the same!

A research team led by Dr. Andrew Schwartz at the University of Pittsburgh has taught a monkey to use just its thoughts to control an advanced robot arm. For more details, see http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/ro...

Lance Armstrong outcycles his competitors because he has larger oxygen capacity. And this vest is designed to make your lungs work harder, hence increasing your oxygen capacity.

On a broader scale, this is an example of how technology can help to level or even surpass the playing field!

Featured Video: Sport Science Hardest Kick

We love this TV series that’s all about how athletes do what they do. It measures their performance levels in terms of time, speed and force. For example, this one on Muay Thai demonstrates how hard they can kick – up to 1,000 lbs of force!

Now that’s impressive! 

Melchor Menor shows how powerful a muay thai low kick can be. Sports Science shows how shinbone is broken down to become as hard as rock.

Featured Video: Science of Soccer

Since it’s the World Cup, we thought we’d showcase the science behind soccer. How players bend the ball’s flight, how to turn it into a rocket-like object… y’know the kinds of things that make life difficult for goalkeepers.

Science and science fiction writer Edward Willett talks about the science of soccer on CBC Newsworld.
