Real-Life Tron Light Cycle Would Make the Best Gift Ever





Long, long ago, in a galaxy pretty close to this one, we were so excited over Tron Legacy that we could barely sit still. Now that the movie has been out for a long time and we’ve seen it thirty or so times, we aren’t nearly as excited.

Insane gadget peddlers Hammacher Schlemmer are offering this truly beautiful specimen for a totally reasonable, not-spit-take-inducing $55,000. Riders kind of lie down on it, just like in the movie, while the foot pegs and handlebars control the functions just like on a normal motorcycle. Not like a normal motorcycle is the fact that this baby is meant just for looking cool, not for zooming around and racing your friends. It runs – but not fast.

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...
