article talks about the development of 'self-healing' materials in a huge scientific step towards imitating nature's ability to heal wounds/cuts/rips etc. I'll try to find a similar story in English, but if you do read German, go to source for this article ~ it is well written and quite interesting!

POPSTimelapse Interestingly enough, I started to realize that these timelapses are, in a way, more of a reflection of my living environment than my photos.

POPSDali, Disney, Destino Walt Disney found an unexpected artistic soul mate in Salvador Dali, who he may have met as early as 1937. "We have to keep breaking new trails," Disney said at the time. "Ordinarily good story ideas don't come easily and have to be fought for. Dali is communicative. He bubbles with ideas. "Fifty-seven years later, the brainchild of Dali and Disney was finally born. "Destino" is, according to the curator of the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation, "the perfect combination of Dali and Disney". An August 2008 Disney press release stated Destino is now due for a 2010 DVD release and "will be available to own for the first time along with an all-new feature-length documentary that examines the surprising partnership between Dali and Disney."

POPSKites could provide electricity for 100,000 homes Several other scientists are investigating the use of kites to harness energy from the wind - which some researchers estimate provides more than 100 times the amount required to power the entire planet. In 2007, Google´s philanthropic arm invested about $10 million in a US kite company called Makani. An Italian company called Kitegen has a multi-kite scheme that could generate a gigawatt of power, as much as a standard coal plant.

POPSThe Amsterdam Airport Rotating Floating Airport concept An innovative proposal for the needed expansion of Amsterdam Airport is the Rotating Floating Airport (RFA) invented by Van Den Noort Innovations BV in the Netherlands. The entire structure would resemble a giant propeller lodged in the ground with arrival and departure lounges, transport stations below sea level and air traffic landing and taking-off on its blades.

POPSC'MM'N C'MM'N is an interesting concept car built by, amongst others, the University of Technology Delft (http://tudelft.nl). The reason that I am posting this on the website, besides being a very interesting project (it has an opensource approach to the development of it), is that I am writing my advice for the future of Delft OCW (Open Courseware), and one of the things I will mention is the opportunity of connecting OCW with these kinds of projects, creating thriving communities, and engagement around content. It is an opportunity to remix and repurpose materials to just this cause, possibly increasing participation and enthusiasm for both initiatives.
