Fender Telecaster meets custom built LED video display meets audio reactive control software.

The guitar display is a custom cut faceplate mapped with individually addressable LEDs which turns the whole face of the instrument into a video screen. Integrated with our software that drives the band’s existing light show, the guitar visuals are synced with the entire light rig to provide cohesive looks and stand out solos.

Premiering only in recent weeks, this piece draws immediate crowd attention. Paired with the band’s unique musical style, this element of their show leaves the crowd with a unique memory of a stand out performance.

Mobiles could soon bounce with a new elastic, but super-hard glass

Engineers at the University of California San Diego used a technique called spark-plasma sintering to create the new metallic glass.

They did this by placing powdered iron into a graphite mold and then raising the pressure it is under to 1,000 atmospheres.

They then zapped the powder with an electric current, heating it to 1166°F (630°C), causing it to bind together without ever becoming liquid.
