Solar panels are great for receiving energy and making sure you don’t waste any electricity. There’s just one slight flaw with that: it needs sunlight in order to work. Luckily for us, the geniuses at MIT decided to pool their intelligence together and devise a gadget that needs no sunlight: the photovoltaic panel. Better yet, they fitted it into a small-button sized gadget that can fit in your smartphone and power it for a week. Sweet! More »

MIT researchers are doing something pretty interesting to help out the Boston Red Sox. They’ve been putting smart phone sensors on every single player of the Boston Red Sox, in order to understand what kind of physical force they create when they swing, run, and throw. This way, the Sox’s physicians and trainers will be able to measure the degree and force of when a player is doing well or is on his downtime. This will give the trainers statistics on how to improve their overall game and change accordingly with these stats. More »
