Science Sneakers

The company Rayfish  has gotten quite a bit of attention lately as they have been shortlisted for the Dutch Design Awards.  Rayfish claims that customers can personalize their very own sting ray skin sneakers via genetic engineering by the company.  Scientist at Utah State pointed out that there is no such technology, yet, that would give anyone the ability to control the markings on stingray skin.  The company debuted the sneakers at Dutch Design Week, but there was quite a bit of speculation that the coloring of the skin had looked painted on.  As a concept its pretty rad.


This came from the site, Nano Supermarket, which showcases some of the most inspired designs meant to speculate on the future uses for nanotech products with the possibility of hitting shelves within the next decade. Visit this site now!  It's an incredible exorcise in creativity in design.
 I've posted a my favorites (growing a pearl in your uterus & ink that's conductive)  as well as a link to the website below.
