Pixel Bulb Iconizes Your Light Source

Here’s a great design-art piece by Marcus Tremonto. Called Pixel Bulb, the iconized lightbulb is made of “2D electroluminescent paper.” I guess they mean OLED. It’s so pretty I want to triple-click it. [Unplggd]

China Completes 3D Map of the Moon, Gets a Bit Nearer to Red Moon Dream

China claims that they have completed the “world’s highest-resolution 3D map of the moon,” which will serve Chinese astronauts to reach the Moon in 2020.
