new: alyssa ettinger + monika jarg
i couldn’t resist posting these incredible wood and felt rugs from designer monika jarg of tekstiil ruumis . based in estonia, monika designs “carpets of wood” by drilling holes into wood and weaving directly into the surface with fibers. the result is nothing short of stunning. click here to have your socks officially knocked off by more of her work. [thanks to raina for the tip!] i have a real weakness for milk bottles. i love them filled with farm-fresh milk, or emptied and filled with branches and flowers. so naturally i’m loving alyssa ettinger ’s cast porcelain milk bottles on etsy. these bottles, cast using vintage milk bottles from grandview dairy in brooklyn ny ( established in 1901 ), are a half-pint size and are available for $25. they would look so sweet filled with…

Super Therm - Thermal barrier ceram...SUPER THERM®: the 21st century insulation! SUPER THERM® is a unique one-part thermal insulating coating composed of high-performance aliphatic urethanes, elastomeric acrylics and resin additives in a waterborne formula. SUPER THERM® is designed with four different ceramics that block 95% of the three sources of heat of the sun. (Visual light, UV- rays and IR- rays). Two are reflective, one acts as a non conductor and the fourth blocks the IR- rays. On top SUPER THERM® emits 92% of the heat of the surface thanks to the extreme low density of the unique ceramic blend. This allows SUPER THERM® to be the only ceramic coating rated as an insulator compared to other coatings only containing glass hollow spheres that reflect visual light heat when clean. Due to the unique combination of acrylics and urethanes, SUPER THERM® cures out completely in 14 to 21 days to an extremely tough, durable, non-yellowing water resistant coating. SUPER THERM® is a permanently flexible "breathing" membrane that stops water penetration and helps to prevent condensation and thus corrosion. It should be noted, that the ceramics offer a slight texture versus a smooth finish. Typical uses As a one-coat insulation system: - on exterior and interior substrates (roofs and walls) to reduce energy costs from cooling or heating and increase comfort - on refrigerated containers, mobile homes, coaches and railroad cars to protect goods and reduce costs - on HVAC systems, oil pipes and tanks, storage systems <b>...</b>

Street Urinal Makes Public Peeing Practical
[Gadgets]This is the Axixa. The ceramic, water-stain shaped device is a public urinal. It even comes in pee-yellow. But would people use them? If you are desperate enough to pee in the street anyway, we doubt you’d be too embarrassed to use the Axixa instead.

Ceramics That Won't Shatter
[Design]Ceramics are lightweight and hard, but you can't make jet engines out of them because they'd shatter like dinner plates. So, materials scientists have been trying to mimic natural materials that combine strength (a measure of resistance to deformation) with toughness (a measure of resistance to fracture).

Material Slicker than Teflon Discovered by Accident
[General Sciences]A superhard substance that is more slippery than Teflon could protect mechanical parts from wear and tear, and boost energy efficiency by reducing friction. The "ceramic alloy" is created by combining a metal alloy of boron, aluminium and magnesium (AlMgB14) with titanium boride (TiB2). It is the hardest material after diamond and cubic boron nitri...
