Axidraw
"The AxiDraw is a simple and modern pen plotter, capable of writing or drawing on almost any flat surface. It can write with fountain pens, permanent markers, and other writing implements to handle an endless variety of applications. Its unique design features a writing head that extends beyond the machine, making it possible to draw on objects bigger than the machine itself."
"It allows you to use your computer to produce writing that appears to be handmade, complete with the unmistakable appearance of using a real pen (as opposed to an inkjet or laser printer) to address an envelope or sign one's name. And it does so with precision approaching that of a skilled artist, and — just as importantly — using an arm that never gets tired."
The World's Darkest Ever Material
A small British tech company called Surrey NanoSystems announced that they had developed the "world's darkest ever material" called Vantablack, a super-black substance akin to looking into a black hole.
Despite Surrey NanoSystems announcing their development of this material, Belgian artist Frederik De Wilde claims he was actually the first to pioneer a super-black material using carbon nanotubes – and that his material is actually even darker than Vantablack and has been collaborating with NASA for two years prior to Surrey NanoSystem's announcement.
