Cleverly Designed Bookmark Easily Doubles as a Brightly Shining Book Light

Kyouei Design has created a product, however, that cleverly combines the two into one incredibly useful device. Aptly called Bookmark Light, its minimalist design features a thin piece of clear film that’s embedded with a silver nanoparticle ink that transmits electricity. This allows for its dual usage—with the addition of a lithium coin battery, the bookmark turns into a small light that illuminates your words on a dark night. The Bookmark Light takes its natural form in a flattened rectangular shape. To transform it into a light, you simply fold the piece and sandwich the battery between either end. Kyouei Design currently sells the Bookmark Light on their website.

Female-named hurricanes kill more than male hurricanes because people don’t respect them, study finds

Female-named storms have historically killed more because people neither consider them as risky nor take the same precautions, the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences concludes. Researchers at the University of Illinois and Arizona State University examined six decades of hurricane death rates according to gender, spanning 1950 and 2012. Of the 47 most damaging hurricanes, the female-named hurricanes produced an average of 45 deaths compared to 23 deaths in male-named storms, or almost double the number of fatalities.
