Speaking of Robonaut 2, or R2 for short, you'll be pleased to hear that R2 is now sending tweets from space. As you probably know, Robonaut 2 was sent by NASA to space station last year, so it could help astronauts with lifting heavy objects, and since then, we haven't heard any news about it, until now.

New hybrid mouse LG Smart Scan LSM-100 comes with built-in scanner Posted: 07 Sep 2011 01:21 AM PDT We already wrote about hybrid devices, and you probably remember Canon X Mark I Mouse, a mouse that comes with built-in calculator. Today we have another mouse, but unlike Canon X Mark I Mouse, this mouse comes with a built-in scanner. LG announced Smart Scan LSM-100 at IFA, and what makes Smart Scan LSM-100 so special is that it comes with a built-in scanner. Scanning process is rather simple, and in order to scan any type of document, you just need to hold the Smart Scan button on the left side of the mouse and swipe the mouse over the document that you wish to scan. As for the scanned images, they can be saved in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XLS, and DOC format, or they can be simply dragged and dropped into the desired application. As for the page size, LG Smart Scan LSM-100 can scan pages up to A3 size, and thanks to the LG's Optical Character Recognition technology, it converts scanned text into a Microsoft Word document. LG Smart Scan LSM-100 is a perfect hybrid device, especially if you're not a fan of bulky scanners. As for the availability, Smart Scan LSM-100 is available in UK for GBP 89.98.

Tooth regeneration gel regenerates your teeth and fills teeth cavities Posted: 06 Sep 2011 02:18 PM PDT Scientists from France have been busy recently, recently they have discovered a tooth treatment gel that stimulates regrowth of your teeth. This means that there's no more need for you to visit the dentist and to deal with drills and fillings. As for this gel, it is made out of natural chemical that is found in human body, and it has already been tested on mice with success. According to the results, cavities in teeth fill themselves after a month because peptide MSH that is used in gel encourages bone regeneration. This gel sounds amazing, but so far, it's in early testing stage, and it will take years and a lot of testing before we see it being used by humans. Until then, we'll just have to rely on dentists to fill our teeth cavities. [via Engadget] This article is brought to you by GadgetLite - Latest gadgets and technology news

LiquidKeyboard concept: First on-screen keyboard that adjusts to your hands Posted: 06 Sep 2011 02:15 PM PDT You probably know that on-screen keyboards aren't ergonomical as actual physical keyboards, but in addition to the ergonomical problems, on-screen keyboards are also slower than regular keyboards because you can't rest your hands on them, and you have to check every key before you press it. Luckily, there's a solution called LiquidKeyboard. Christian Sax and Hannes Lau from the University of Technology Sydney have developed a new type of on-screen keyboard called LiquidKeyboard. Unlike other on-screen keyboards, LiquidKeyboard adapts to the position of your hands and fingers, so your hands won't feel uncomfortable while using it. The best thing about LiquidKeyboard is that all keys adjust to the position of your fingers, so you won't have to check twice before pressing a certain key, meaning that you could type as fast as you would type on a regular computer keyboard. LiquidKeyboard is designed for all users that are used to the standard physical keyboard, and if you have a tablet, LiquidKeyboard will be perfect for you. LiquidKeyboard was revealed recently at the Tech23 conference in Sydney, but so far, it's only a concept, but we can't wait to see it in action on our tablets.
