Researchers at Houston’s Rice University have demonstrated a new medium for data storage, which is made out of a mere 10 atom thick layer of graphite. The technology has huge implications not only for advancing the capacities of flash memory, but also for space exploration with its ability to withstand radiation and temperatures of -75 to 200 degrees Celsius, that would destroy modern Solid State Disks.

What’s not to love about a gadget that can provide free electricity to your portable devices on-the-go? That’s the thinking behind these solar panel-packing sunglasses. Called the Self-Energy Generating Glasses, or confusingly SIG, this alien-eyewear will supposedly collect energy from sunlight and transfer it to a cellphone or iPod via a power jack at the end of one of the arms.

A Dutch company called Spranq have come up with an interesting typeface that aims to reduce printer ink usage by omitting numerous tiny circles from the center of each letter.

For those of you who are a little squeamish about trapping spiders and insects that make their way into the house, comes this great little invention simply called The Bug Trapper. It essentially puts the whole trapping and releasing action at an arms length away and saves you from having to scrounge around for a jar and some cardboard before the critter goes into hiding.

Buffalo Japan today introduced a new line of flash drives with capacities of up to 16GB in an enclosure no more than 8mm thin. There are thinner drives out there such as the tiny iRiver Domino, but they don’t come close to offering this amount of storage. Tuesday, 16 December 2008
We’ve seen vibrating alarm rings and even vibrating clocks that go under your pillow, but never anything quite like this. Designed by a Japanese company called Vessel, the “Vibe” Vibrating Alarm Clock Pillow is an ingenious device that wakes you from sleep with gentle pulses, instead of jolting you into consciousness with a screeching audible alarm.

Thanko Japan have put out yet another spy watch for all you keen voyeurs out there, this time including a very conspicuous view-screen to help you capture better spy pics and movies. Called the MP4 Watch, this timepiece-cum-camcorder lacks the more covert styling we saw in their 4GB Camcorder Watch last week, but makes up for it in added functionality. | Subscribe
