It might not be quite up there with curing cancer or developing alternative energy systems, but scientists from the Women’s University in Tokyo might very well have improved the lives of astronauts (and their colleagues) with the invention of stink-free underwear.

A team of researchers at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, have used nanotechnology to boost the storage potential nearly 10,000-fold compared to standard DVDs, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
The 25 finalists in INNOVIC’s Next Big Thing Awards have been named and will be on show at the Melbourne Museum from 30 May to 12 July.

The finalists reflect the key challenges of our time in the medical, environmental and ICT fields.
This video may be more than seven months old, but it’s still relevant to the revolutionary leaps being made in the Nanoscience field. Launched alongside The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition, the Morph concept device seems to have been inspired by Space Ghost, which wins my vote. Nokia prefers to…

Saving the planet one pizza at a time… sort of. Green Box is manufactured from 100 percent recycled material and can be easily broken down into serving plates and a handy pizza storage container, eliminating the need for plastic wrap, tin foil or plastic bags. Simple.
Last week, we posted the first in a series of video excerpts from a panel discussion at the 2009 Anthill Smart 100 Awards, held in April at Digital Harbour in Melbourne’s docklands. We received lots of positive feedback about Liesl Capper’s insights on innovation and commercialisation in Australia, but it turns out you are an impatient bunch. So here we’re posting the introductory insights of all five members of our master innovator panel – Ryan Trainor, Campbell Rose, Janine Kirk, Liesl Capper and Tim Pethick. We’ll post part two – a more free form discussion – next week.

Thinking back, those old gloves with the fingers cut off were a triumph of rationality over common sense. Useful, but kinda pointless. Fortunately, glove designers are more switched on in the iPhone era. Take Dots Gloves: knit or woollen gloves that have nickel and brass dots sewn into the finger tips so wearers can operate…
These basejumpers grew board of just jumping off cliffs, falling for a bit then popping a shoot. So they built sugar-glider wing suits and began to fly. That wasn’t quite doing it for them, so they went to Norway and began flying close – really close – to cliffs and rocks… even roads.
If we are to defend and improve our competitive standing as a first-tier global economy, Australia needs to invest heavily in the development of knowledge economy sectors such as clean coal technology rather than pouring million of dollars into dying legacy sectors. The Australian Federal Government has just launched its Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute…

Focusing all your energy on conjuring the perfect idea for a business is just plain lazy, argues Kevin Garber.

The American writer Dorye Roettger observed in 1932 (a tough time for optimists), “There are no problems – only opportunities.” This spirit animates the many brilliant, committed people who haven’t let doom and gloom stop them from innovating. The TED conference is where the best and brightest share the fruits of their dreams and labours.
