Inspiration can shine anywhere — including the umber tabular array . Just enquire java - obsess Ivan Vakarelski , who discovered tomorrow ’s television filmdom in those annoying rings that currently make my coffee table look like the aerofoil of the Sun Myung Moon .
This is n’t to say Starbucks is snuff it to start churning out overpriced TVs tomorrow alongside their overpriced Caffè machiatos .
alternatively , let ’s focus on the transparent conductive coatings that currently rest on today ’s LCD telly screens . Still awake ? Good . AsNew Scientistexplains , this coating forms an electrode on the screen surface . In plasmas , the coating serve as a carapace that prevents electromagnetic orbit from ramble away from the telecasting and into your dog ’s sleeping head , or something . Anyway , creating this coating is expensive and time - consuming , kind of like what it takes to make areally nice camera genus Lens .

Enter the coffee grease and Mr. Ivan here . When coffee spills , the liquid begins to evaporate , and that process pushes the stay coffee tree towards the edge of the spill ( hence , the circular grease ) . Inspired by this process , Vakarelski and company create a conductive coating for television screen that mimics the umber stain ’s behavior . And the whole thing involves gold molecule and nanotechnology ( does n’t everything ? ) .
The welfare to you , I and Joe Consumer is a more conductive , cheaper , and easier to develop LCD television set , as Vakarelski plan to increase the size of his coffee stains — er , “ aureate nanonets ” — by a factor of ten ( big screen ! ) . Scalability is n’t an issue either , as it would be for more traditional television technical school , so expect this clobber to start invade boob tubes rather , rather than later . Oh , and we ’ll have even more nanotech in our daily lives . Triple Word Score . [ New Scientist ]
