In just the past few years, nanotechnology has brought technological advances in almost every field imaginable - patches that regenerate heart tissue, water-powered batteries and better biofuels are just a few examples. As with just about any new technology, however, concerns have been raised regarding its safety. We've never experienced anything quite like it before, so how far should we trust it? According to a recent study conducted at the University of Plymouth, the answer to that question might be "Not very far." In tests on rainbow trout, titanium oxide nanoparticles were found to cause damage to the brain and other parts of the central nervous system.

Titanium oxide nanoparticles are used in a number of applications including paints, vitamins, personal care products such as sunscreen and cosmetics, and possibly soon in food products. After being subjected to these nanoparticles, the trout developed vacuoles (holes) in parts of their brains, and some of their brain cells died. Although past tests on cell cultures and other in vitro systems have suggested possible harmful effects of nanoparticles, this is reportedly the first time that such effects have been confirmed in a live vertebrate.

 

 infotainment outlets like radio are brought together into a centrally-positioned touchpad control. The vehicle can also cater for server-based mobile services such as allowing a user to check the status of charging via a smartphone.

Other notable features of this electric city car concept include air-conditioning which heats the inside of the vehicle via a carbon neutral, ethanol-powered heater during colder months, an electronic stability program (ESP) system, crash elements made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and LED strip daytime running lights to complement the energy-efficient LED main lights.

Concept You aims for a more classic Volvo look than the Concept Universe shown earlier this year in Shanghai ... and drops the gold bullion finish for a decidedly quieter blue liquid metal paint job. Volvo says the 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, grille and headlamps have been inspired by the works of Danish design house Georg Jensen.

Inside there's touch screens aplenty - one in the upper part of the center console, one between the two individual rear seats and one on each of the aluminum and glass steering wheel paddles. Data can be "flipped" between front and rear screens and the driver's head-up display. Perhaps to avert sensory overload, the system allows the driver to trigger the front screen into action using eye movement captured on an infrared camera. There's also a "FreshAir" subwoofer based on "not yet released technology" from Alpine that uses lightweight components and the air outside the car to create the "ultimate listening experience" (we did say it was ambitious).

 

This hybrid-electric vehicle is called BiPod, and it is designed by Burt Rutan, a famous engineer that was behind many amazing aircrafts such as Ansari X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne. Burt’s latest project, BiPod, is the one of a kind electric vehicle, that comes with two fuselages that are equipped with electrically driven wheels and propellers, along with batteries that are in charge of powering the vehicle’s propulsion and systems.

This luxury home Interior design is located in the historic city center and keeps memories of the Emperor Napoleon III, who had been there, according to legend. The interior is done in a classic style that makes you think about ancient history, the Renaissance and the French Restoration. Soft red velvet furniture, inlaid tables and dressers – the designers tried to create the style of the palaces of kings. There are rooms of different color schemes – green, yellow, as in the maharaja’s palace. There are marble niches and porches in the room. The owners wanted the apartment looks like a history book several times and I think the design team has done brilliantly. This space is one of the most luxurious and beautiful, and if you want to feel like a king or a queen – the place is the best variant.

Sprino collection by TOTO helps to create small bathroom with everything needed to clean your body or relax there. The idea of the collection to make the floor of the whole bathroom capable to accommodate flowing water. Usually there isn’t washing basin or any furniture in such bathroom so the place could be really small depending on needs. The collection also shows how small changes in such small room could dramatically change an overall impression of it. Colors of the walls, using big or small mirrors, small benches, color of the bath and position of the shower could be such things that change everything. Different technology features also could make some difference. TOTO sell Sprino bathrooms like one product, everything is
