Metals that conduct electricity also produce heat, right? Well, no, not all of them, according to recent research led by Berkeley Lab. They've found one type of metal that keeps its cool as electrical current moves through it, and may lead to a range of new and super-efficient electrical devices.

Graphene, the new wunderkind for all sorts of emerging technologies, is still a little too expensive to produce on a commercial scale. Now scientists at CSIRO have come up with a way to create graphene from soy beans, cheaply, quickly, and without all the nasty chemicals usually needed.

Utah's Alpine Tiny Homes recently completed this neat tiny house that has room for a family of four. The Brown Bear features a master loft with a queen-size bed for the parents and a secondary split loft for two kids. It also runs off-the-grid with solar power.
