WRITTEN BY 
Have you ever looked at a dead fish and thought, “Now there’s a technological innovation waiting to happen”?
I’m guessing you haven’t, because honestly, who would. Well, after watching today’s video you may walk by the seafood counter at your local market feeling a little more inspired by new innovations.

Liesl, why are you being so cryptic? Okay, fine, I was trying to build dramatic tension to lead us up to the topic we are exploring today; the future of advanced technology using fish scales to power electronics.

Yes, fish scales could help power a very near future!
For more on this remarkable idea here’s one of our favorite YouTube Channels, Gross Science with more. Gross Science has some great and interesting content over of their channel, so take a moment to poke around over there when you get the chance.

There are just no bounds to these new innovations!

I watch something like this and find myself looking at the world around me with fresh eyes. There is possibility everywhere, even if I don’t realize it!
We live in an incredible world! Whale poop can spur on conservation movements, bird vomit can unlock history, and fish scales could power the future. How exciting!

The future belongs to those that see overlooked things as sources of innovation. Whether mundane, gross, or just plain weird, inspiration for the next great idea can come from anywhere. We just have to embrace the possibilities.

Now  here’s  one of those new innovations in robotics that’s solving problems by combining two things that don’t  quite  seem to go together at first thought. Today Ever Widening Circles will take you on a little journey of possibility when it comes to pure ingenuity. Source:  Nico Zevallos and Chaohui Gong Did you ever stop to ask yourself why most of us envision the human form when we think of the word “Robot?” What if the real potential of robotics lies with thinking outside that box? Here’s your introduction to snake robotics! Having the flexibility and movements of a slithering reptile allows these robots to squeeze into spaces that their human-form, mechanical cousins, and we humans, haven’t been able to explore. They can do so much more! We will be able to identify structural problems in hidde...
