New scanner lets you create 3D scans of the real world.
Startup company MatterPort has shown off their 3D scanner, able to rapidly create maps of rooms by scanning the device around the space.
While the scanner is still under development, the company won’t say how much it will go on sale for except it will be “18 times cheaper” than competing devices (which typically retail for $30,000 to $50,000).
Check out the MatterPort website here.

Today, while watching the BBC Life series I was mesmerized by many aspects of nature, but what stuck with me most was that a female octopus lays many many eggs (approximately 100 000) tends to them for six months. Caressing them, and just making sure the eggs are protected. During that time she doesn’t leave her den, Not once, so she doesn’t hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. During her pregnancy she thus, slowly starves herself to give the eggs a chance. On her last energy she apparently blows water over them to help them hatch and then she dies.
This sacrifice makes them (to me) one of the most devoted mothers in nature.
Oh and they also have 3 hearts and blue blood.
Absolutely fascinating…

Fringe Science
This listing is for the entire series of Fringe science experiment inspired iconography art prints. “Warning: An Experiment of Great Importance in Progress.” Collect all your favorite Fringe science posters and show your friends and family that you believe in the future.
I may just need to build another wall in my house or lab or mad scientist den so I can hang all these up.

That thing on that guy’s shoulder? That’s a massive 95 x 95mm sensor made by Spectral Instruments.
This sensor is 5x bigger than a Hasselblad’s and shoots 112 megapixel photos! Because the sensor is so large, it can shoot hour-long exposures without noise and can capture stars in broad daylight.
This sensor isn’t made for the everyday photographer, but they might do it if they get enough feedback. So let ‘em know if you want it!
