Designer: Jakub Záhoř NOTCOT.ORG What Would You Do With A Spray-On Antenna? Internet Everywhere, For One | Co.Design: business + innovation + design - StumbleUpon This is part of Future Forward, a new, semi-regular series exploring how cutting-edge technologies might be applied. The Problem Antennas are pretty much always one of two things: bulky and effective, or small and prone to failure. Engineers have been brilliant about milking more and more from radio waves in our wireless spectrum, but despite developments like 4G and over-the-air HD broadcasting, our antennas are based upon antique technology. Dropped calls, fuzzy pictures: Some of it’s due to the nature of the frequencies themselves, but most of these issues could be fixed with better antennas. The Breakthrough A company called Chamtech has developed a nano-capacitor-infused spray, a very powerful antenna in a can. To deploy it, just spray. The Claims It can attach to almost any surface--buildings, road blocks, even trees. The Possibilities If Chamtech’s claims prove true, it’s impossible to overstate the possibilities.

Pour Noël, offrez un Gömböc ! Les fêtes arrivent et il vous manque des idées de cadeaux ? Vous avez un parent ou un(e) ami(e) un peu scientifique ? Alors offrez donc un Gömböc ! Une affaire d’équilibre L’histoire du Gömböc est celle de ces sujets de recherche qui naissent autour d’une machine à café, ou dans les couloirs des conférences scientifiques. En 1995, à l’occasion d’une conférence à Hambourg, Vladimir Arnold s’était demandé s’il était possible de construire un solide tridimensionnel qui soit à la fois homogène, convexe et mono-monostatique … euh … mais ça veut dire quoi tout ce charabia ??? Bon, commençons par « mono-monostatique« . Un solide mono-monostatique, c’est un solide qui possède exactement un seul point d’équilibre stable, et un seul point d’équilibre instable. Existe-t-il un solide homogène convexe et mono-monostatique ? Le culbuto possède une seule position d’équilibre stable, et une position instable (si vous le posez sur la tête). Le Gömböc [youtube=
