Sony’s achingly slim ZX1 HDTV- which, at 9.9mm, is being called the world’s thinnest production LCD TV - will go on sale in the UK today. The screen, which boasts full 1080p resolution, 3,000:1 contrast ratio and 100Hz refresh rate, will be available in three sizes - 42, 46 and 52-inches - and relies on side-mounted backlighting LEDs for its skinniness.
2. WEIRD
Creepy but true: researchers at the University of California, Berkley, have managed to create a live remote-control beetle. Using six electrodes hooked up to the beetle’s brain and muscles, and a 1.3g radio module carried on the bug’s back, the flying rhinoceros beetle can be remotely-controlled from a nearby laptop. While the researchers have managed to electrically-control insects before, this is the first time it has been done wirelessly.
3. FINALLY
