A Metal Almost As Light As Air

Researchers in the US have broken the world record for the lightest structural material. The metal-based micro lattice structures are significantly less dense than the rarest aerogels and other ultra-light foams, while exhibiting high strength and an unexpectedly high ability to absorb energy and recover shape after compression- yes! These metals have memories. The materials [...]

Opus 12 By Harry Winston

Opus 12

Opus 12

Instead of hands pointing at numbers on the Opus 12′s face, the watch uses a series of spinning markers to indicate the current time. The markers—12 in total—are positioned at the five-minute marks in long and short pairs that distinguish between the hour and minutes. And each one flips to reveal a metallic blue finish which is how the wearer actually reads the time.

 

At the top of every hour all of the markers rotate in sequence like a well-choreographed performance, but it’s really nothing more than eye candy for the select few lucky enough to own one. Since Harry Winston only plans to produce just 120 of the watches, with a price tag that I’m sure will match their exclusivity. Harry Winston – Opus 12

The Rape-Axe : Anti-Rape Condom

Here’s a cool concept especially for you rapers out there:

The Rape Axe

The Rape Axe

The device, known as The Rape-Axe, is a latex sheath embedded with shafts of sharp, inward-facing microscopic barbs that would be worn by a woman in her vagina like a tampon. If an attacker were to attempt vaginal rape, their penis would enter the latex sheath and be snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker pain during withdrawal and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the attacker’s body when he withdrew and could only be removed surgically, which would alert hospital staff and police. This device could assist in the identification and prosecution of rapists.

A Metal Almost As Light As Air

Light Metal

Light Metal

Researchers in the US have broken the world record for the lightest structural material. The metal-based micro lattice structures are significantly less dense than the rarest aerogels and other ultra-light foams, while exhibiting high strength and an unexpectedly high ability to absorb energy and recover shape after compression- yes! These metals have memories. The materials could find use in a range of applications, from aircraft structural components to acoustic damping and shock absorption.

 

The structure is so fine that it is 99.99 per cent air, and around 10 per cent less dense than the lightest aerogels. Intriguingly, the micro engineered structure has remarkably different properties from the bulk alloy. The bulk alloy is usually very brittle, but when the lattice structure is compressed, the hollow tubes do not snap but rather buckle like a drinking straw with a high degree of elasticity.

 

Ultra-lightweight materials are an incredibly cool area of materials science, bringing us crazy substances like aerogel. And now, for the first time, scientists have produced a metal that’s so light it can balance on the fluff of a dandelion.

 

This stuff weighs less than one milligram per cubic centimeter, completely bounces back after compression, and is made of a repeating lattice. It has incredible potential for use as thermal insulation; acoustic, vibration or shock dampening; energy absorption and recovery; and electronic parts.

30 Million Dollar Painting Pissed On

Carmen Tisch

Carmen Tisch

A 36 year-old woman, named Carmen Tisch pulled down her pants, punched, scratched and profusely slid her buttocks against a painting worth more than $30 million. She has been apparently arrested by the Colorado police and accused of damage worth more than $10,000.

 

Carmen was said to be drunk while she behaved in such a reckless manner, as she was booked under felony of criminal mischief under a $20,000 bond. The painting was by the late abstract expressionist Clyfford Still. If this is not it, Tisch allegedly urinated as well on the picture. Since the urine did not damage the painting, she’s not been charged with it.

A Well-Planned Retirement

Zoo Parking

Zoo Parking


Outside England’s Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were £1 for cars ($1.40), £5 for busses (about $7).

 

Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.

 

The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo’s own responsibility. The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.

 

The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.

 

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (or some such scenario), is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own; and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day — for 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars!

 

And no one even knows his name.
