The label popper will make is easy to quickly and completely remove the labels from steel cans, making it easier to recycle every part of the can. When the paper label is left on the can, it is burned away when the metal is melted down, wasting trees. The label popper's narrow, flexible extension will not be sharp, but will be able to slip underneath the label, slicing it and making it easier to remove. Each label popper will be manufactured using renewable energy, and include...

A new line of avalanche airbag integrated clothing will make protection as easy as putting on a vest. The vest will use a nitrogen based airbag system that will be deployed by the wearer to release a pair of brightly colored bags. The bags will increase the wearer's surface area to help reduce sinking as well as will act a visual signs for rescuers. The vest will also include an array of pockets able to secure other gear, allowing the vest to replace a full backpack.

Researchers have discovered a molecule that can destroy cavity-causing bacteria in less than one minute, and could even be added to candies. The molecule will kill Streptococcus Mutans after being held the mouth for 60 seconds, and will also continue to kill the bacteria for several hours after use. It can be used in a number of products, including chewing gum, mouthwash, and toothpastes.

The idea is to use a new technology to create plastic from sewage. The process will transform sewage into a biodegradable plastic by first removing the water and certain solids. A group of bacteria that address different parts of the sewage, such as sugars or fats, then will work together to produce a bioplastic polystyrene that will be similar to the top of a disposable coffee cup. The bioplastic resin will biodegrade within 6 to 12 months.

The same chemical used as a pigment in breakfast cereals could lead to the creation of LEDs that are grown or printed on the surface of paper. To create the printable diodes, it is necessary to first grew nanometer-sized zinc oxide crystals by coating paper in a polymer, seeding it with a solution containing zinc, and then coating it again with another polymer. The paper is then dipped in a mixture that encourages the zinc to grow into upright hollow rods, with yet another polymer...

I'm not really sure if it is possible to make my idea come true but here it is... I want to provide skiers and snowboarders with avalanche survival devices to put to their backpacks. In case of an avalanche a sensor built-in the device will trigger the system and a mask will pop out to fit a face. As soon as the avalanche hits a person, a small vacuum pump will suck snow into the canister, melt it, and split the water made from the melted snow into oxygen and hydrogen. The...

In an effort to slow coastal erosion, why not develop concrete cylinders that can cancel out up to 90% of a wave's intensity? The cylinders will be hollow with narrow slits in the sides and will cancel out the wave's energy. The cylinders should even be able to handle tsunami waves, and it will be possible that current wave power generation systems could be adapted to the coastal protector technology.

The idea with that artificial rainbow is fantastic. A rainbow machine has been already created. It uses reclaimed rainwater and sunlight to create rainbow effect. The machine applies jet pumps and custom fountain nozzles to spray water in the air, and then the sunlight shines through to create the rainbow effect.

It was found that transplanting a mother's stem cells into her fetus could be a treatment for genetic blood diseases before birth. Stem cell transplants could prepare the fetus for a bone-marrow transplant from a tissue matched donor after birth. Standard bone-marrow transplants usually require the recipient to take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of their life, but a dose of maternal tissue matched donor cells could prime the developing fetus's immature immune system for...

I want to create a device to prevent fires? It will be a small canister placed inside a wall and connected to an electrical outlet. This device will monitor the temperature of the outlet: in case it reaches 250 degrees (combustion occurs at 426 degrees), the canister will eject special foam that will cool the wires, displace oxygen and insulate the surrounding combustible materials. The foam spilt out of the outlet indicates that a fire has been prevented and that the outlet should...
