We’ve seen various microscopes that help us explore the world on a microscopic level, but none as feature-packed and flexible as this device. Called the Video Screen Microscope, it not only lets you view objects at up to 1600x magnification on a high-resolution 3.5-inch LCD (instead of squinting into an eyepiece) – but with a built-in 2-megapixel camera, lets you try your hand at the fascinating art of macro-photography and video recording.

If you’re as clueless as I am about the night sky and barely know your planets from your stars (much less their names), this gadget will help shoot us both to the top of the class. Called the Meade MySky star and planet identifier, it looks like some kind of futuristic ray gun, but instead of firing an energy pulse, shoots you a wealth of knowledge. Just pull the trigger to learn about your target star, planet, nebula or galaxy (though not satellites, starships or aliens, I’m afraid) from a database of over 30,000 celestial wonders.

If you’re keen on outdoor astronomy, boating, bird-watching or any other activity where high-power, yet portable optics are a must – this piece of pro kit would be brilliant. Called the Telescope Strength Binoculars, they offer up to 40X telephoto magnification in a portable, dual viewfinder design and are so rugged – they’re completely waterproof. Saturday, 18 July 2009

Spaceport America, the world’s first (purpose-built) commercial spaceport broke ground recently in New Mexico and thanks to design winners Foster and Partners, we have some concept images representing just what the giant 110,000 square foot facility may look like. The project is expected to cost $200m and if all goes according to plan, is expected to host the first commercial space flight by 2011. Saturday, 13 June 2009
The Levitron Revolution is a cutting-edge display gadget that promises to not only levitate your favorite globe, collectibles, figurines or memorabilia – but also rotate your objects, whilst throwing some pretty dramatic-looking uplighting on them from the base. Friday, 1 May 2009
If you’re worried about the doom and gloom of the supposedly impending Swine Flu pandemic, then you’d be wise to pick up one of these Evac-Hood Respiratory Protection Hoods. While the image above is arguably more terrifying than the fever itself (so far), the mask does excel in being a one-size-fits-all preventative solution that can be worn over glasses and beards, as well as long hair.

If this is how the future looks, I’m excited. A company called Exmovere Holdings have come up with what seems to be a working prototype (video below) of a self-balancing, handsfree, motorized pod called the Chariot, that enables disabled people (and hopefully the rest of us too) the ability to get around effortlessly in an upright position.

Defense contractor Northrop Grumman recently announced that they have successfully created and tested a 100kW electric solid state laser. The 100kW threshold is important as it is considered powerful enough to be weapons-grade and is a major step-up from the single 15kW Firestrike Laser unit they developed last year. | SUBSCRIBE:  Stay up to date!
