What would you say if we told you that scientists believe that future nanobots might be powered by the energetic little baby makers which live in the darkness of your scrotum? In fact, researchers have issued a preliminary report that states that sperm might be the perfect fuel to light a fire in the asses of nanobots.

A research project revealed that a solution for fueling the multitudes of nanobots that are sure to be used in the future, could be using one of the most wasted products in the world. Sperm, of course. Why impregnate tissues and bed sheets with the stuff when we could be supplying the future with a productive fuel? Will a naughty nurse be aiding in our fuel supply efforts? — Andrew Dobrow

A technology that scientists didn’t expect to pop-up for a decade or so is showing its face early. SeeReal Technologies is working on developing a 3D holographic display technique which wouldn’t require any funny-looking glasses to watch.

The holographic system would follow the watchers eyes and produce the holographic effect accordingly.

Holographic display reconstructs a “scaled-down” natural scene. So it can look as a theatrical stage or a country-side landscape merging with the horizon. SeeReal technology addresses this by replicating the depth of the original image. So if it has corners viewers can look around them, as well as sections that lie one behind the other. All impressions of depth and 3D are replicated in the image you see.

SeeReal has already filed over 100 patents for the technology. When asked when the technology will be available, they answered “…when this technology actually hits mass consumer markets will depend to a certain extent on partnerships, but the components needed can already be mass produced and assembled at reasonable cost. To all intents and purposes, commercial products could be made available in a fairly short time.” — Andrew Dobrow

Scientists have been trying to create a reliable smell-o-vision for decades, but no one seems to be able to get it right. The Nokia Scentsory Cellphone concept claims to be able to allow you to associate a smell and feel to your contacts.

Its unique paper airplane style folded design makes this concept a unique addition to the cellphone design arena. Scentsory would include wellness aroma therapy, as well as user customizible scent specifications for contacts. — Andrew Dobrow

Not much is known about the early evolution of our fishy ancestors and their quest to coming above water, leading to dinosaurs, and eventually us humans. Scientists believe they have come a step closer to understand how our fishy relatives might have “crawled” ashore, with the help of a salamander-like robot.

The 33-inch-long robot was chosen to resemble a salamander, since they were most likely what most resembled the first land dwelling vertebrates. Until now, researchers had puzzled over how creatures which used body movements underwater could have formed usable locomotive limbs for a land walk. This robot has given them an idea of what could have happened. — Andrew Dobrow
