The 30ft mechanical spider terrorising Liverpool

The 37-ton artwork has been billed as the largest and most spectacular piece of street theatre ever staged in the UK.
Created by French company La Machine, the installation cost £1.8million to bring to Liverpool ¨C and all but £250,000 of this was funded by the taxpayer.
The story behind the artwork is that French 'scientists' have arrived in the city to investigate it. They will use cranes to remove the animal off the tower block, before taking it to their 'research base' in Liverpool's new concert venue, the Echo Arena.
There, the creature will undergo a series of experiments, allowing the team to show off special effects using water, fire and artificial snow.
Organisers hope the spider will attract huge crowds, but onlookers appeared more bemused than enthralled. [ link ]

Intel shows off Wireless Power Tech at IDF

Intel demonstrated a wireless technology at IDF. Intel's wireless power technology involves a setup of two metal arrays -- resembling the rings of a planet -- connected to a power amplifer. Even though this sort of technology isn't new, Intel has gotten the highest efficiency so far of 75% for transferring 60 watts over two feet. No worries for us: The technology's currently safe for humans. Bad news is not yet for our gadgets. It seems Intel is well on their way to developing this into something usable.

A Floating Trash Boat For Floating Trash!

In protest of the massive amounts of trash being dumped into the Pacific Ocean, Dr. Marcus Eriksen and his team of like minded supporters have put together a boat to sail 2000 miles from the California coast to Honolulu, Hawaii to help raise an awareness for this problem. Piloting their vessel made from motor-less craft from 15,000 recycled bottles, fishing nets, and a Cessna cockpit, they are sailing 2,000 miles to raise awareness for the problem. With a little less than 1000 miles to go, they expect to arrive finish the trip in a couple weeks.
ˇ°Yes, we are risking our lives, but the issue of petroleum-based plastic and our national dependence on petroleum, warrant urgent action,ˇ± explained Dr. Eriksen on the teams blog.

The bionic eye : Light-curving camera that may help the blind to see

For years, scientists have set their sights on creating bionic eye transplants to help the blind see. Yesterday they came a step closer after announcing they had made a camera that can reproduce human vision. Teams from Illinois University and Northwestern University, Illinois, cracked the problem by creating a hemispherical elastic membrane. This was flattened so the delicate electronics could be built on to it before it was allowed to spring back to its original shape. When the flexible mesh of silicon pixels joined by tiny wires springs back, the wires take the strain, leaving the delicate pixels intact. The mesh is transferred from the membrane to a curved glass lens to produce a fully-operational camera which can then be linked to a computer so its images can be viewed. [ link ]
