Quite soon in the future we’ll be using solar paint on our houses to harvest energy to power the household electricity, as researchers from the University of Notre Dame have developed low-cost solar paint using nano-sized particles of titanium dioxide, coated with cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide. Once brushed onto any conducting materials and exposed to the sunlight, the paint will then create electricity with a light-to-energy conversion efficiency of 1%. Even though its efficiency isn’t high enough, the researchers are still trying to improve it, so as to make the solar paint both low-cost and high-efficiency for household use.

“To push or to pull?” Almost every time I need to open a door, I ask myself that question. Not because I’m not clever enough, but in fact it is all because the door handles are not clever enough, since they cannot show us the directions clearly. But forget that, as here comes a clever one, “Arrow” door handle that makes “pull” or “push” directions visible to us. Just follow its “arrow”, and you’ll never pull or push a knob in a wrong way.
Because of higher and higher social pressure pushing us forward to survive, we humans are actually suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, one symptom of which is to ask ourselves repeatedly whether or not we’ve turned off the electricity or locked off the door… Stop that, as our life can become easier, if with the help of Off- Door Handle.

So you know, that question emerged again, after I accidentally saw the AudioBulb, Wireless Speaker Light Bulbs that bring both light and music to your home. It’s easy to use: simply replace ordinary bulbs with the AudioBulb, insert you iPod into the included dock, and then you’ll hear beautiful music coming from any places of your house. With warm light filled with your rooms, the AudioBulb is certainly the best thing related to the word “romantic”.
