Here's a new and very cool application of technology: letting your child draw on a wall without actual paint, but with lasers. It's quite cool actually, and very good for developing his creativity. Have a look for yourself!

A cool demonstration of how liquid metal (actually an exotic alloy) can store energy and then return it, in a surprisingly elastic way. Enjoy the liquid metal demo video!
A guy, with lots of spare time on his hands decided to make a graffiti machine. It's actually similar to a plotter printer. It can draw by a system of pulleys which coordonated by the computer make the graffiti machine draw each point of the original image on the wall. Nice.
This is a revolutionary Electronic ink display from Philips. It's able to unfold, revealing a display, bigger than the actual device.
