Scientists from the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy claim to have created a “hierarchy of adhesive forces,” using carbon nanotubes, which are strong enough to hold the weight of a person suspended from a wall or ceiling. This tech could possible lead to a kind of microscopic hook and loop configuration, a la Velcro. And a world of wall-walking “underwear perverts” will surely ensue.

Project docs and 3D tour at the Robot Hut
We’ve blogged about the Robot Hut before, and I’d been there (the site) before, but I’m not sure I’d seen how much info there is on all of the builds for many of the bots in the Hut’s collection. And there’s a tour of the museum in 3D, too (and even a link on where to get free 3D glasses). Above is a project page from the full-scale, working Robby the Robot Jeep build, and (below) a 3D image of the jeep as it sits in the museum.

The Stealth Router - HOW TO fit a computer inside an UPS case
Siloraptor writes -Ever since I’ve started using Linux I’ve been obsessed with doing custom routers and trying to cram as much functionality in the less amount of space possible. ‘Space’ so far being hard drive space, so I set out to build me a new router to substitute the old P5-233 Dell that was working as my firewall. Like pretty much every other hardware project I’ve done, planning was absent in the process as I prefer to do things McGyver-style and surprise myself.The Stealth Router: How to fit a computer inside an UPS case - Link.

Howtoons site is live!
In each MAKE we have a special “Howtoon” it’s one of my favorite sections - Howtoons is dedicated to the DIY kids world of science, engineering, art and crafts. The Howtoons universe was created by Saul Griffith, Nick Dragotta, and Joost Bonsen. They started out creating DIY projects thru the language of comics. Their work can be seen in Make and Craft magazine and the upcoming 114 page book published by HarperCollins. The book contains 16 How-To projects such as marshmallow shooter, turkey-bastor flutes, and soda bottle rockets. The book will be available in bookstores Nov. 07. Now Howtoons.com comes to the web with the help of Ryan McKinley and Phil Torrone. The site aims to inspire kids to build and create thru single page webcomics with downloadable PDF’s, an exciting blog, a library referencing great stuff on the web, and a legends section linked to wiki entries. You’ve been warned Howtoons is coming at ya! The Howtoons site! - Link.The Howtoons blog! - Link.The Howtoons toons! - Link.The Howtoons book! - Link.The Howtoons RSS feed - Link.
