Researchers Develop 360* Holographic Display

Researchers at USC have taken another step closer to making my dreams come true. Using a very quick spinning mirror and some Holographic paper, (don't expect me to understand how this actually works) the researchers actually create an image that is visible from 360 Degrees. The effect is impressive, to say the least. Now where can I buy one of these?

The Daily Fix: Superconducting Levitation

This is a neat video that explores how superconductor technology can be used in conjunction with the Meisner effect and a simple magnet to create actual levitation and suspension. To be honest, I don't fully understand the science behind it, but the relative simplicity of the concept is interesting and could very obviously yield results that include actual hover cars, levitating trains and more. Enjoy the video!
