GOOD BYE SKETCHING ..HELLOW...ADOBE INK AND SLIDE

Drawing on a touchscreen has never been as natural as doodling on paper. 
An iPad’s capacitive display only records touches that are greater than 4 millimeters too large for finer details. 
The tip of the Adobe Ink stylus is just 2 mm, but a specially designed transmitter near the grip of the pen tricks the screen into reading it anyway. 



The kit also comes with a bonus for draftspeople: the Slide ruler uses two capacitive pads to plot straight lines and other shapes onscreen

THE VERY FIRST ROLLABLE SCREEN

Long have we lived with the promise of truly flexible displays, and long have the nuances of material design kept it from becoming reality. Earlier this year, LG introduced the first large-size mass-producible flexible OLED display. Thanks in part to a bendable polyimide film (instead of hard plastic) on the back-plane panel, the 18-inch high-resolution screen can roll into a one-inch-wide tube. The company expects to develop an ultra-HD flexible monitor that’s greater than 60 inches by 2017.

Nano-Architecture

Conventional wisdom dictates that heavy materials are strong and light materials are more flexible. Nano-architectures prove that it’s possible to turn those rules on their head. Engineers can fabricate materials with a complex web of metal trusses. In the future, super strong and light materials could improve a variety of products. Currently researchers at MIT, Caltech, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are examining how to use these materials in high-density batteries and insulation
