Mercedes-Benz Vision Tokyo (Product Trailer)
November 5, 2015
Okay, Mercedes-Benz Vision is taking it literally. We posted about a Lambo you might try living with day-to-day, but how about a vehicle that is a ‘living room’ unto itself?
The #VisionToyko has reimagined the idea of car, turning it into the living space of the future. Watch the trailer: https://t.co/YisOTjarmV

Looks like it approaches a minivan or station-wagon design with a coupe’s style. The trailer above hints at a vehicle that can provide a rolling room apart from the hustle and bustle of busy, busy city life and traffic (as found in Tokyo).
Of course, we don’t get to see the inside for real. Rather, a concept with some futuristic 3-D playthings. And no, we won’t elaborate. Watch for yourself.

Technology: Chip Could Enable Smartphones to See Through Objects
February 20, 2013
Ali Hajimiri, a professor of electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology, has created a chip capable of producing terahertz waves—radiation (or T-rays) that can penetrate materials such as plastic and wood without the side effects associated with X-rays. So far, T-rays have been used mostly in experiments in medical and dental imaging. But Hajimiri, working with postdoctoral researcher Kaushik Sengupta, got thousands of tiny transistors to operate in concert, producing T-rays from a smaller machine. When connected with a computer or mobile device, the 0.1 inch-wide silicon chip technology could help doctors locate skin cancer noninvasively, speed up passenger scans at airport security lines, scan suspicious packages at the post office, or find art hidden behind painted walls.
Aww, not quite what you were expecting? C’mon though. It’s still pretty cool tech, right?
