You know what the problem with the sun is? After a while, it goes down, and that's just not convenient.

Fortunately, the glow-in-the-dark paint gurus at the MPK Co. have developed a new material that will provide a constant light for 12 years with no power. It's cheap (an 1/8" thick 8½: x 11" piece of plastic would cost 35 cents) and non-toxic. Judging from the picture, it's also a lovely shade of raver, TMNT-green.

Which is appropriate enough, if you know your TMNT backstory, as this betavoltaic material uses a radioactive gas to produce this glow. MPK is calling the luminous micoparticles "Litrospheres," which, fortunately enough, can't penetrate through much. They can be injection molded or added to paint, and give off a 20-watt (in incandescent terms) glow. And despite our snarkiness about the green in the promo pics, they can give off light in any color.

First in line for this tech? Probably stuff like safety tape, life rafts, and safety markings. After that?

cool....

Super stvar za vozače dvotočkaša, ako uđe u široku primenu sigurno će povećati sigurnost u prometu.
A ko zna gde se sve još može primeniti.

 

 

Vec vidim nase "nabudzene" yugice koji se sepure sa novim svetlecim sarama

Extra stvar, samo da naftni magnati ne spreče lobiranjem u zakonodavnim ustanovama protiv ovoga 

 
šta će tek biti kad ganciji provale ovu stvar, ima da kosu farbaju s njom.

Scientists at the Gyeongsang National University in South Korea have cloned cats that have the ability to glow-in-the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light. By inserting a virus into the skin cells of a mother cat and placing those contaminated cells into the womb, scientists were able to prove that it was possible to clone an animal with a manipulated gene. Apparently, this development could allow for a better understanding of human genetic diseases in the future. But what about the benefits of glowing cats?

If you ask me, cats that could truly glow-in-the-dark would make for an unique and styilsh night-light. And, much like the new Litrospheres, they last for about 12 years. The only downside is that the latter requires no power source while cats require a steady diet. Still, the crazy cat lady down the street could have the most power efficient house in town.

izgleda da dan danas svi puše "crack"........

Изгледа.
