Washing hands becomes a dilemma when a Goldfish’s life is on the line

Designer Yan Lu is teaching the world about conservation by threatening the life of fishes. The “Poor Little Fish” sink has a goldfish in a bowl at the top. When you wash your hands, it seems to drain out the water from the fishbowl. Use too much water, and the poor fish is on its way to heaven. Thankfully, Yan Lu is no fish killer, so a clever plumbing system is used to lower the water level in the bowl, however, this is not the water used for washing hands. The water slowly is returned to the bowl, and the bowl itself is never really set to empty, so the life of the fish is not in a real danger. The setup will prompt most people to be more prudent with their water use. Yay!

It isn’t exactly time for all those sci-fi fantasies, YET. For now, researchers have managed to move a tiny bead of glass five feet, by making use of laser beams. The technology works by making use of a hollow laser beams that are targeted around the glass particle. As the technique makes use of air particles, it is not possible to use it in vacuum, so applications of the device in space will probably have to wait.
