This is a series of glowing neon skulls created by artist Eric Franklin (who previously brought us this entire neon skeleton). There's just something about skulls that I find really profound. I'm not sure if it's the reminder of my own mortality or the thought of CRUSHING THE... / Continue →

Looking cool is just a bonus. This is Seqinetic, a pair of €59 (~$75) glasses that have six LEDs and a reflector to shoot a comforting white "daylight" spectrum of light around your eyes (but not directly in them) to improve your mood in the long, dark winter months. Me? I j... / Continue →

This is the Cereal Light by designer ideaka (aka Chris Haines). It looks like a glowing bowl of cereal and turns on and off with a touch of the spoon. Neat! This is just a prototype though, but Chris' website says they're going into production, so they may be available soon.... / Continue →

This is the Phillips' latest award-winning LED light bulb, a 10-watter that produces the light equivalent (and warm glow) of a 60-watt incandescent and is rated to last 20-years at 4-hours/use a day. Will we even be using light bulbs in 20 years? No, we will not. The world i... / Continue →

Artist John Muntean makes wooden sculptures that, when lit from the proper angle, cast realistic human (or animal) looking shadows on the ground despite the sculpture looking like a misshapen turd. Plus each block has three different shapes it can create. SORCERY! A Magic An... / Continue →

This is an artistically shot video by Jacob Sutton of a guy shredding some fresh pow-pow at night wearing a suit covered in LEDs. That's pretty much it. One thing's for certain though, if brobro keeps this up he might wind up gaining the unwanted attention of some Yetis. And... / Continue →

Seen here giving the camera their best serious but cool, MIT researchers Andreas Velten and Ramesh Raskar pose in front of a Coke bottle filled with highlighter fluid or something. I don't know, physics and I don't always get along. That's how I'm able to levitate. Just kidd... / Continue →

I dunno, those look like little Pac-Man ghosts to me. A group of Swedish scientists have allegedly produced real-life photons from "virtual" ones. How do we know they're not lying? We don't. That's why I say we raid their lab, steal all their notes, and ask questions later.... / Continue →

This is the world's lightest material. Dandelion seeds. "I think it's the other thing." Oh, right. Some sort of hollow metallic lattice. How light is light? Try over 100x lighter than Styrofoam. WTF KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! The material is a micro-lattice in structure... / Continue →

Remember Lytro's promise to produce a light-field camera that captures all the light information in a scene so you can choose any focal distance you want on a computer LONG AFTER THE SHOT WAS TAKEN? Well they're selling them now. FOR REALS (or for fakes and they're just gonna... / Continue →
