Liquid Wood: 100% Organic Replacement For Everything Plastic - Green Diary. German inventors have developed a new material which holds the promise of replacing everything plastic with something as natural as wood.
The material in question is called the Arboform. It is produced after combining lignin, a discarded element of regular wood with natural resins, flax and fiber. Arboform can be molded into any object form which is normally made using non-biodegradable petroleum products. What shoots up the eco-factor of such products is the fact that once out of use the Arboform products break down quickly organically into eco-safe by-products like water and carbon dioxide. Now almost anything that you can imagine under the sun can be produced using Arboform from simple toys to complex gadgets. Via: Dornob. Aquatip Will Give A New Lease Of Life To People Without Fingers - Designbuzz. The concept: A prosthetic finger named Aquatip, designed by Leticia Cervantes is here to change the way people without fingers live.
This very useful piece of equipment that comes filled with a liquid bladder with exposed ends will let the user get a sense of touch. This bladder works on Pascal’s principle because of which the liquid will travel to the other end because of the pressure on one side. Cheers To Finger Power! Future technology. Mind you, this is not a “Green” concept and neither does it claim to be “Eco Friendly”.
It’s just a helpful solution for a tricky situation. The situation being: you running out of juice on your mobile phone. So what do you do? Remove the battery from the back of the phone; give it a few good turns around your index finger and its gathered enough power to last you a conversation or a safe trip to your charger and electric point.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have turned to Mother Nature for inspiration, inventing a device that mimics photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert sunlight and water into usable energy.
The MIT researchers announced their invention at the American Chemical Society meeting in California. MIT chemistry professor Daniel Nocera says he and his colleagues took their cues from plants, which are literally buzzing with electricity. "What happens is that sunlight comes in and hits the leaf and then the leaf immediately takes that sunlight and makes a wireless current," says Nocera. During photosynthesis, the energy in sunlight splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen joins with carbon dioxide to make sugar, an essential fuel for plant growth. The hydrogen is then recombined with the oxygen in a fuel cell to produce electricity.
NoteSlate /// intuitively simple monochrome paper alike tablet device. Soft as a Rock (by @baekdal) #design. Rocks, stones and pebbles have been used as decorative objects since... well... the stone age actually.
But, rocks are usually a bit hard to be around. They often look cool, but you wouldn't exactly hug one - until now! Stephanie Marin is the creator of these amazing looking stones, which is actually very soft and comfortable cushions. Made of 100% virgin wool no less - although I have absolutely no idea what makes wool "virgin"... was it never used before? Or is it from sheep that have never had sex?

Saving Energy And Safety Line takes the idea of this night-glow-lights a step further, by coming in the form of a sticky tape that can be easily put around counter-edges and furniture.
Thus avoiding the hassle of turning on the lights for a trip to the fridge at night. Kaboodle. Technology innovation. The Free Form Ruler enables you to measure the length by “drawing” an invisible line, straight or curved.
The unit of measurement is displayed and can be adjusted at the top. What a brilliant idea! All the straight edge and french rulers in the world probably couldn’t have given measurements as accurate as this concept proposes. Designer: Monocomplex. Rui Pereira : product design.
