Special Paint Turns Any Surface Into A Battery - PSFK
Researchers at the Rice University in Texas, USA, have created a lithium-ion battery paint that can be applied to any surface. The battery-based paint was experimented on bathroom tiles, which were able to power a set of LED lights for six hours, and provided a steady 2.4 volts.
The lead author of the project, Neelam Singh, commented that her team had spent hours formulating, mixing and testing the paints. The working concept means that traditional packaging for batteries can have a “more flexible approach that allows all kinds of new design and integration possibilities for storage devices.”

Dutch designer Debbie Wijskamp has designed a collection of bubbly alien-like tableware from recycled car tires.
Wijskamp combines powdered recycled rubber with polyurethane to bind the mixture into “pebbles,” which she then stacks into a series of decorative containers. The pieces are waterproof but not food-safe, and even though they’re made from rubber, if accidentally dropped, they probably won’t bounce back.

For $1000, this pair of cardboard Chuck Taylor shoes can be yours. Mike Leavitt crafts sneakers out of cardboard as part of his Hip Hopjects project. If you’re so inclined, you can purchase the templates he uses ($100) to make your own. Check out a 3-d tour of Leavitt’s studio.

Mutant innovation: a lettuce fork, circa 1893. At the end of the 19th century, hyper-specialized silverware was all the rage.
