LG Display just surpassed itself by unveiling two new 18-inch OLED panels. First is an 18-inch LED screen, which can be rolled up while still being functional and the second is a transparent display that can turn your windows into TVs.
Flexible screens are not something new in the market, but the one that can be rolled completely is definitely worth praising. The flexible panel made of organic Light Emitting Diodes or OLEDs has a 1200×810 pixel resolution(1 million mega pixels) and can be rolled to a radius of 3cm,

Now, you can reprint (3D) your Coca-Cola bottles with EKOCYCLE
Last January, former Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, now chief creative officer of 3D printing company 3DSystems, teased a printer that could make objects out of recycled plastic. Today 3DSystems officially announced the EKOCYCLE Cube, a consumer 3D printer that uses filament partly comprised of recycled plastic bottles.[url][/url] http://techknowlist..com/

SOCCKET, the ball that can power your Home!

What's better than an energy producing soccer ball or jump rope?
SOCCKET is a soccer ball that harnesses and stores energy from play for later use as portable power source in resource-poor areas.That is the inspiration behind an invention called the Soccket.
It looks like a soccer ball, but it contains a mechanism inside that converts kinetic energy into electric power.
According to its inventors, the ball
stores enough energy after just thirty minutes of play to run an LED lamp for three hours, so a child can read at night. Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Ashton Kutcher and other celebrities and philanthropists have endorsed the Soccket as a fun product that can promote learning in developing countries.
The idea was dreamed up in 2008 as part of a class project at Harvard University. A couple of students then formed a for-profit company called Uncharted Play and started manufacturing the Soccket. They sell the balls to charities and major corporations that distribute them to impoverished kids.
Dora Natalia Antonio Ramos, 7, was the only Soccket recipient interviewed whose ball and lamp still worked well.

One of the first large-scale distributions took place in March 2013 in the Mexican state of Puebla. Mexico's biggest TV network, Televisa, gave out around 150 of the balls in a ceremony.
Jessica Lin, Julia Silverman, Jessica Matthews, Hemali Thakkar, who were at the time undergraduates at Harvard University, and Aviva Presser, who was a Harvard graduate student at the time, were the inventors listed on the initial patent. Prototypes of the ball first appeared in the media in early 2010. The mass-produced version of the ball is the brainchild of Uncharted Play, Inc.-a social enterprise founded by two of the original inventors, Jessica O. Matthews and Julia C. Silverman.
The past several months have consisted of a massive amount of research, product testing, and innovation to create the best version of the SOCCKET possible. During their testing, they discovered that the ball’s panels tended to separate after limited amounts of play. Determined to create a more durable product, they:
Changed the adhesive used to assemble the ball;
Added a rugged rubber coating to the panels;
Transitioned all foam manufacturing to the United States so that they can play a more hands-on role in the manufacturing process and reduce our carbon footprint
Added 2 additional LED lights in the lamp redesign for maximum light provision.
