Coming soon to a device near you - UCLA researchers have succeeded in creating a handheld device that can generate tiny nuclear-fusion reactions at room temperatures. “Not strong enough to produce either power or explosions, the new gadget produces at most about 800 neutrons each second, a puny amount. But the device may one day become a cheaper and more precise way to screen airport baggage or to propel small spacecraft, say the device’s creators.”

I’m looking forward to the day when we can not worry about recharging our fusion-powered laptops every few hours, or forget about putting gas into our fusion-powered cars.

Howdy all! Greetings, and welcome to MiniGizmo. Do excuse the mess while things get off the ground, but one has to start somewhere. Allow me to briefly explain what MiniGizmo is all about.

MiniGizmo aims to bring news and cool tidbits of information to consumers and the general public (that’s you!), about technology and ultra cool gadgets that facilitate our mobile lifestyle. As technology improves, manufacturers and those scientists wearing propeller hats keep finding new ways of miniturising and shrinking things in the pursuit of portability.

So if you’re as much into uber-chic, sleek, tiny gadgets as I am, then please stay tuned - MiniGizmo is just the place you!
