Magic Bean Word Sprout
(09 November 2005) - The Magic Bean is a little sprouting plant that has a message. In this case it's "I Love You," but if you're willing to buy 5,000 or more you can have any message you want on the plant and any design on the can. For those in to the plant-in-a-can thing, there's also a line of Flower Cans. Fascinating. $10 at Compact Impact Related...

Outside-In
(04 August 2005) - Another prototype from Promise Design, Phytoslim is a modular system for growing plants on walls. Its slim panels are made of coconut fibers and supported by a hidden plastic skeleton. The 2"-thick pieces supposedly attach to any surface, indoor or out, vertical or horizontal. Although we're absolutely smitten with the idea of a grass-covered interior wall, the sheer logistics leave doubts in our minds:...

Biojewlery
(03 January 2005) - A radical evolution from the spit handshake or blood brothers ritual, Biojewlery uses lab grown human bone tissue as a design material. Their intention is to have nuptial rings created from the bone tissue of both people to be wed. Now that the Modern Primitives are growing up, this seems like their ideal wedding band. via Régine ...

Plant Partner
(28 December 2004) - To love plants does not necessarily mean you know how to take care of them. Dr. Frog is here to help. Just place the little guy in the soil of your plant and he'll ribbit whenever the plant needs water. He even knows when it's night time (through light sensors in his eyes) and will keep quiet so you get your sleep. via Wired...

ripeSense
(23 December 2004) - ripeSense sensor changes color by reacting to the aroma released by fruits as they ripen. The ripeSense packaging protects the fruit while in transit—and there is no longer a need for shoppers to squeeze and feel ‘is it ripe yet’, once the sensor reaches the desired ripeness level, you can just pop it in the ’fridge to slow down the ripening process. How long...

Squeeze Me
(06 October 2004) - Squeeze Me, by Enablearts, is designed for children who are experiencing stress related to dealing with a challenging medical condition. The device is a squishy toy that detects certain bio-readings and responds to change with visual feedback using light patterns. By giving kids a visual reference to what's going on in their body, they can learn how to identify different stress and anxiety triggers....

NanoFlowers
(22 June 2004) - While developing a new water repellant coating for solar cells, Cambridge University PhD student Ghim Wei Ho generated these phenomenal microscopic organisms. If you're brainy enough to follow, here's how he does it: [ he ] passes a methane gas over silicon carbide wires, grown from Gallium, to cause these structures -- called nanobouquet, nanotrees, and nanoflower -- to condense, depending on the temperature...
