| Glowing eels may help save human lives Posted: 13 Jun 2013 02:36 PM PDT 
Just about any sushi-lover knows what unagi is – it's eel, or more specifically, the Japanese freshwater eel Anguilla japonica. What those people might not know, however, is that the eel glows green in the dark. Now, it looks like the protein that allows the fish to do so could also help doctors to assess human liver function. ..

| Bentley GT3 race car will use V8 engine Posted: 13 Jun 2013 02:14 PM PDT 
Bentley stormed into last year's Paris Motor Show with a hardcore, race-ready version of its Continental GT. Its first race car in a decade, the Continental GT3 Concept Racer didn't yet have an official engine, and it was unclear whether Bentley would go with a W12 or use its newer, more efficient V8. This week, Bentley said that it will be the 4.0-liter V8. .. Continue Reading Bentley GT3 race car will use V8 engine Section: Automotive Tags: Bentley, GT3, Motorsport, Racing Related Articles:  |

| Leica reveals its much-teased Mini M as the X Vario Posted: 13 Jun 2013 01:41 PM PDT 
After what feels like weeks of hype, Leica has finally unveiled its much-teased Mini M. Officially revealed as the Leica X Vario (Typ 107), the new camera is a 16.2-megapixel shooter with an APS-C format sensor and a 18-46-mm zoom lens.

| Prefab houses could soon be taped together Posted: 13 Jun 2013 12:49 PM PDT 
Prefabricated houses are made up of separate pre-assembled modules that are joined to one another on-site – those modules, in turn, are made up of various wooden components that are typically nailed (or sometimes stapled) together in a factory. The wood used in the frames of the modules must be reasonably thick, in order not to split when the nails are driven in. This places some limitations on design possibilities. Now, however, German scientists have developed an alternative to those nails: electrically-activated adhesive tape. ..

| Power Pocket prototype uses body heat to charge a smartphone Posted: 13 Jun 2013 10:38 AM PDT 
Vodafone is to trial prototype phone-charging technology at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend. Developed by the University of Southampton's Electronics and Computer Science Department, the Power Pocket exploits the Seebeck effect, exploiting the difference in temperature between the human body and its surroundings to generate an electrical current which can be used to recharge a smartphone. Vodafone has woven the pocket into a sleeping bag (called Recharge) and a pair of shorts (called Power shorts) to test the technology...

| Yo Sushi's "flying waiter" serves your meal via quadcopter Posted: 13 Jun 2013 03:41 AM PDT 
Delivering food with an airborne drone has developed into an odd trend in recent months, and now a sushi place in London is dispatching a UAV that doesn't even need to leave the restaurant. To promote its new rice burger, Yo Sushi outfitted a quadcopter with a food tray and is having waiters fly it to tables using an iPad. ..

| Exbury Egg: The floating off-grid workspace and home Posted: 13 Jun 2013 03:20 AM PDT 
Exbury Egg is a floating off-grid workspace and home, installed on the shore of the Beaulieu River, UK. It was conceived by artist Stephen Turner, and created with the help of both Perring Architecture and Design, and SPUD design studio. The egg-shaped structure will support Turner for a year as he carries out observations on the local environment and produces his works of art. ..
