And if you need a caffeine boost just let it absorb through your skin with Sprayable

Energy.

Vsauce! Kevin here. This is Mind Blow.

Two baby rabbits were successfully born glowing fluorescent green. Researchers at the University

of Hawaii injected a naturally glowing jellyfish protein into embryos in a pregnant rabbit

- two of the baby ended up carrying the gene. The point is to be able to eventually make

rabbits that produce medicine in their milk and the green glow allows researchers to see

which animals have gotten the specific gene.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo are working on creating electronic skin. They've

been developing flexible electronic mesh to wrap around robot hands for over a decade

and now they're bringing it to humans. The e-skin can bend, stretch and twist and is

10 times thinner than kitchen plastic wrap. Right now it can be used to monitor vital

signs but eventually could be used to make humans hyperaware or communicate simply with

our skin.

The University of Washington meanwhile have achieved a breakthrough in direct brain-to-brain

communication. A professor linked to another used his thoughts to control the other's actions

 - making the linked professor involuntarily move his hand and press a space bar to play

a computer game. And while basic hand movement is simple it opens the door to exploring the

possibilities of sending more advanced brain signals to each other.

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna, Austria have grown

a 3D tiny human brain. The mini three dimensional brain models were grown using stem cells and

include parts of the cortex, hippocampus and retinas. And right now they're using these

to study early fetal brain development but hope to eventually grow larger brains to provide

insights into conditions such as schizophrenia and autism.

It turns out seahorses have squishable armor to help protect them from being crushed by

predators and researchers at the University of California, San Diego are building a robotic

arm from 3D printed plates mimicking this compressible design. So yeah.

The Uji is a new shower head that makes you aware of how long you've been in the shower.

So far they've noticed a 12% decrease in shower time and say that the $50 shower head will

pay for itself within 7 months. It works by turning from green to red after 7 minutes

and the hope is that people are out of the shower by minute 8.

The Sesame Ring looks to simplify paying for public transportation by wearing your pass

on your finger. The rings are 3D printed and come in a variety of colors and while it's

designed to work in Boston right now they're looking to bring this worldwide.

Yeah, I'll be right there just let me fold up my Korean armadillo car.

Pocket space craft is giving you the ability to send yourself into outer space - in a way.

You can upload a picture and a personalized message to your spacecraft that's smaller

than a CD and as thin as a piece of paper. - which will then be launched with along with

thousands of others into space. Check out the website for more.

Architect Shigeru Ban made a $6 Million cathedral out of cardboard tubes. Even though it's made

out of cardboard it is more structurally sound than the previous cathedral that was lost

in an earthquake. The structure is called the Transitional Cathedral and is also apparently

fireproof and waterproof. 

Bumpy Photo will turn standard 2D photos into 3D sculptures. The photos can be made as small

as 1" or as large as 15" and all you have to do it upload a picture of your choice to

the website, wait for the conversion and production and then have it sent to your doorstep.

Finally, youtuber Vaecon used the Oculus Rift virtual reality system, a harness to hang

15 feet off the ground and skydiving software to create a virtual skydiving demo.

I'm gonna leave you with robots laying out slot-car track - seriously this is awesome

- and as always - thanks for watching.
