Just-launched theKube2 claims title of "World's Smallest Touch MP3 Player"

The makers of the just-launched theKube2 claim that it is the world's smallest touchscreen MP3 player





Although owners of the iPod Shuffle might have something to say about it, Singapore's Bluetree Electronics has announced the launch of what it claims is "the smallest touch MP3 player in the world," theKube2. The diminutive device has an aluminum body, runs for six hours on a one-hour charge of its lithium-polymer battery, and can store approximately 1,000 songs on its included 4GB microSD card. You can also buy replaceable skins for it, should shiny silver not be your thing.

The follow-up product to Bluetree's similar theKube, theKube2 charges from and syncs with its owner's PC (no word on Mac compatibility) via an included USB cable. A set of earbuds is also included. Users have the option of increasing its capacity by swapping in memory cards up to 32GB in size, which should allow for the storage of about 8,000 songs.

No figures are available on the device's dimensions, so unfortunately we can't do the math to determine if its total volume really is less than that of the Shuffle. It does, however, bear more than a passing resemblance to the MP3- and video-playing MobiBLU (nicknamed "The Cube"), which appears to no longer be available.

So far, theKube2 is only available at 7-Eleven stores(!) in Singapore, for SG45.90 (US$35). Its worldwide debut is scheduled to take place next month, at CES in Las Vegas.

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh...

CRISPR technology

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has recently occupied the Olympus of life-changing discoveries. In a couple of years this revolutionary technique that enables changing genomes in a fast and easier way has found an honored place in many areas of science, healthcare and industry. CRISPR deserves the name of a game changer and continues to be explored by scientists in different applications far beyond the walls of research laboratories. Despite continuous discussions about ethical limits of genome modifications, customizing of genomes in a wisely regulated way might have a lot of positive effects. Editas Medicine who was one of the pioneers of industrial applications of CRISPR technique, in a couple of years has reached enormous results in a field of medicine. Leaving out the discussions about ethical issues related to human germ line editing ,  flash4science focuses today on the use of CRISPR in food industry. Recent...
