Milan-based product designers Ivan Colominas and Marco Fossati created a very attractive fan that can be used either on the floor or even tabletop. Creatively-named FFFFFF!!!, the paint bucket-inspired fan has a whirly swirly design and is made from plastic and polyurethane. They are currently looking for a manufacturer.

How valuable are your weekends? The correct answer is WAY too valuable to spend them pushing a smoke-spewing mower back and forth. The LawnBott 1500 SpyderEvo is a robot mower powered by a Lithium-Ion battery that will mow your yard for up to 3.5 hours per charge. Not only that, when it’s done, it’ll dock itself back on the charging station & be ready to get back to work after a 2-3 hour recharge.

Mold-Injected Plastic Cleans Itself

Swiss scientists have designed a plastic that contain layers of a specific type of fungus that can clean your dishes for you. The fungus, the same kind found in blue cheese, is housed in special compartments that allow the bacteria to access leftover food. The cleaning occurs as the fungus eats the food particles. While this experiment is still in the lab, scientists are saying that the technology is stable enough to transfer to other household surfaces. They also hope to soon create an entire "novel class of living materials."
