Thanks to the efforts of some people over at Uppsala University in Sweden, we may yet address the power problems with these new paper-thin batteries made from celulllose produced by Cladophora or green algae. These Cladophora specimens are found in beaches and produce cellulose with an unusually large surface area. These algae cellulose can hold up to 50 to 200 percent more charge than similar conducting polymer batteries, and may someday compete with commercial lithium batteries.

Charge times could also trump today's rechargeables – the researchers managed to recharge their test batteries in anywhere from 8 minutes down to as little as 11 seconds. Combining their thinness and new found energy, these batteries can certainly be welcome additions to the growing need for batteries which are seen as the next big demand to date.

Washable Electrostatic Furnace Filters

Posted: 30 Nov 2009 04:01 PM PST

For sure a lot of us have air conditioning units or air filters at home. And while they are used to provide some protection by making the air we breathe clean, the filters we use pose an eco-friendly issue that needs to be addressed. They are bound to be replaced at some point and just like any other garbage issue, they contribute to the growing waste problem we have which are not recycled properly. However a site aims to change all that by providing us with permanent and washable filters.

NeverBuyAnotherFilter.com offers electrostatic filters that can be washed and reused. So rather than throw them away and compound the landfill woes, the company offer these logical filters which cost around $40.00 and $70.00 and pay for themselves in about one year when compared to similar MERV 8 disposable filters.

Your Daily Bionic Beauty Touchup

New Products from Priia Cosmetics

Posted: 30 Nov 2009 04:30 AM PST

If you’ve been a Bionic Beauty reader for a bit, you know that one of my favorite makeup brands is PRIIA Cosmetics. Well, I’ve got more reasons to love them… In honor of the upcoming holidays, PRIIA has launched some new products!

Priia Cosmetics skin care and makeup

Body Sparx™ is a scented body shimmer powder ($16 for a 20g jar). Contains all-natural and organic fruit extracts such as pomegranate, apricot and wild cherry bark. Available in two shades- Goddess (for light to medium skin tones) and Diva (for medium to medium/deep skin tones). I love having some body shimmer around for the holidays and special events. I dust it on my chest for glimmer or add a bit to my body lotion to use on my arms and legs. Ta-da! Legs look instantly more toned!
6 new lip colors available in the “About 2 Pout™” lip gloss formula or the “Pucker Upz™” lipstick formula. Also launched is a clear lip gloss!

Priia Cosmetics all natural mineral makeup
In other news… PRIIA has some great samples! They are pretty darn cheap and let you try which colors are best for you. Check out their makeup sample page for details.

And last, but not least, it wouldn’t be very Bionic of me to neglect mentioning PRIIA’s current sale. All their vegan lip and eye liners are currently 50% off!! Lots and lots of colors to choose from!
