Researchers Have Created a UV Light That Kills Bacteria Without Harming Humans [Science]
Researchers Have Created a UV Light That Kills Bacteria Without Harming Humans [Science]
High Intensity, Narrow Spectrum (HINS) light works by exciting molecules within bacteria to lethal levels, inducing bacterial suicide. Since it's harmless to humans, it can be incorporated into lighting, keeping areas constantly sterile.
The researchers, from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, also anticipated that people may not enjoy living in a purple-hued world, so they've figured out how to combine it with LED technology for a warmer, more pleasant glow. [University of Strathclyde via Smart Planet via Popular Science]

3D Mirror Accessory Turns iPhones Into Fun 3D Cinemas [Video]
3D Mirror Accessory Turns iPhones Into Fun 3D Cinemas [Video]
Whoa. While you can't actually buy this i3DG peripheral for your iPhone yet, I'm already imagining playing 3D games created especially for it. You can kiss the 3DS buh-bye.
It figures it's Japan-originated, where creator Jitsuro Mase collaborated with Directions, Inc for an Austrian expo. I desperately hope Mase manages to put it into production, because it looks far better than any other form of "3D" I've seen on something that small, including Sharp's parallax barrier panels that are used in Nintendo's 3DS.
The small add-on is made up of three 45-degree mirrors, which slips over the iPhone (or iPad, as apparently they made larger ones too), and projects whatever video is playing on the iPhone. You may look a little silly watching a movie by staring at the 30-pin connector of the iPhone, but little do those around you know that you're actually enjoying a quality 3D illusion by the name of pepper's ghost—something that's been around since the 1860s, supposedly.
For now, it only works with custom clips, but if enough developers are intrigued by this video, they could start creating clips and games in thirds, ready for launch. [Palm Top Theater via Creative Applications via Fastco]

HP Mini 1103 released for business people on a budget
HP Mini 1103 released for business people on a budget
Devastated that you won't be able to nab an HP Slate 500 in time for the holidays? How about a brand new HP business netbook as a consolation? The Mini 1103 looks a lot like the consumer Mini 210 but drops the colorful lid options as it's more for Suits in search of an affordable mini-laptop. Starting at $299, the 10.1-inch netbook is available with Intel Atom N455 and N475 processor options, 1GB of RAM, three- and six-cell batteries, and your choice of Windows 7 Starter, SUSE Linux, or FreeDOS OS. Obviously, if you're looking for a higher-end netbook with an HD display, touchscreen, dual-core processor, and more durable aluminum lid, there's still the $399 Mini 5103, but the Mini 1103 does have HP's business applications, including QuickSync and QuickWeb. Hit the gallery below for shots of the new little guy and the source link for a full rundown of the configurations.

What Is Path? [Video]
What Is Path? [Video]
Path! Path? It's this week's buzzy social networking iPhone app, developed by an impressive roster of peeps and backed by a long list of investors. But what's it really do?
Path is a 'personal network' app for the iPhone...
Path is a new social network app for the iPhone that lets you share what's going on in your life with friends and family. It's kinda like Twitter or Instagram, but it's kinda not.
with a personal twist...
Unlike other social media platforms where a bigger list of friends is always better, Path caps you at 50 friends. The idea is that when you know you're just sharing with people you really trust, you'll be far more inclined to share without inhibition.
based on sharing pictures...
Photos are the meat of Path. Snap one on your iPhone, tag it with any number of people, places, or things, and fire it off to your friends. It'll show up on their Paths, and a feature called "See" shows you which of your friends have actually stopped by and viewed your photo. Stop ignoring my pictures, friends!
that was developed by an all-star crew...
Path is the brainchild of Dave Morin, a long time Facebook employee who left the company last January, Shawn Fanning, Napster founder, and Dustin Mierau, developer of the Mac Napster client Macster. It's a pretty impressive team.
that you can download now for free.
Path is available in the App Store right now for free. [Path]
