A 360 degree Panoramic Dome Microwave, and Air-In Shower technology uses 35% less water
by putting tiny air bubbles inside each droplet of water.
Vsauce, Kevin here.
This is Mind Blow.
Ghent University in Belgium has developed a contact lens that displays text.
The transparent lens can modulate the transmitted light using LCD technology, and the image
is visible to other people- not the wearer.
But, they are currently researching ways to display text to the person wearing the lens
and hope to create a way for road directions, text messages, and emails to be on your eyes
within five years.
DARPA is developing a foam to help wounded soldiers and mitigate damage from internal
hemorrhaging.
The Wound Stasis Technology is designed to be administered on the battlefield and works
with two liquid phases, injected internally, that mix to become foam which molds around
the organs, compressing internal wounds until the patient can be safely transported to a
surgeon, who the easily removes the foam and treats the injury.
Kenshiro is a humanoid robot that copies your muscles and bones.
It's the closest to a human form so far and mimics the body of the average japanese 12-year-old
male with the same weight ratios.
It has 160 pulley-like muscles, does squats, and features aluminum bones.
Newly discovered loris?

GravityLight is an alternative to kerosene lamps that harnesses the power of gravity.
The LED lanterns cost less than $10 to buy with no running costs, and the 3 seconds it
takes to lift the weight made up of a bag filled with rocks or dirt powers the light
for half an hour.
It has no batteries, is specifically for third world countries without reliable access to
mains electricity, and you can find out more over at their website.
University of Bath researchers are claiming that vector-based video will lead to the death
of the pixel within the next five years.
Digital pictures are made up of a rectangular grid of colored cells or pixels.
The smaller and closer together, the higher the quality and amount of data that needs
to be compressed.
But, vectors present contoured colors presenting the highest visual quality without a bunch
of pixels needing to be compressed, and they say this will revolutionize the way visual
media is produced.
"Yo, you got Sneaker Speakers?
Yeah, alright..."
Neuroscientists and software engineers at the University of Waterloo in Canada have
built the most complex artificial brain ever.
Spaun isn't just a super computer- it mimics the structure of a real brain, and has 2.5
million simulated neurons constructed to pattern the brain's cranial subsystems.
It also has a digital eye for visual input, a robot arm to draw responses, and can pass
very basic IQ tests.
Finally, Further Up Yonder is a time-lapse from the International Space Station put together
by Giacomo Sardelli.
I'm gonna leave you with a radar sequence of an asteroid that's over 4 million miles
away from Earth and, as always, thanks for watching.
