It was positioned as a spiritual brother to Volkswagen's Kübelwagen and the Willys MB. Sadly, it never made it to production, as Germany's army chose to award ...

Time to cash in on a cool way to keep your laptop from overheating. This video from Science Chael shows how to create a heat sink by stacking copper coins on the computer, a tip the host credits to a Japanese Twitter user. "Copper is more thermally conductive than material most laptops are made of, drawing away heat to cool the machine," the chael's video explains.

If there was ever a time for an art fanatic to head to Tokyo, teamLab's DMM.PLANETS exhibition would be it. Part of the exhibition is "Crystal Universe," a massive maze of light that allows visitors to interact by wandering through it (or using the special smartphone app to trigger special light shows). We're also chatting about Obi, the robotic arm designed to help patients feed themselves if they caot, or require assistance. It's a little bit pricey (albeit potentially life-altering for people who need it), but over time, we hope inventions like Obi are the same price as a coffeemaker or a toaster oven.
