thisistheverge: Watch this: 2,000 plastic shapes filmed in stop motion for Shugo Tokumaru’s amazing ‘Katachi’ Stop motion is a painstaking animation technique by anyone’s standard, but individually drawing thousands of subjects and cutting them from plastic sounds like a surefire way to increase the workload beyond all reasonable limit. That’s exactly what animation pair Kijek / Adamski have done in the new video for “Katachi” by Japanese singer-songwriter Shugo Tokumaru, however. This is amazing.

thisistheverge: 3D printing: Precision arrives with Formlabs and the Form 1 We first heard about Formlabs’s high-resolution Form 1 3D printer back in September. Where most mainstream printers use the equivalent of a hot glue gun to lay plastic down layer-upon-layer in order to build up a part, the Formlabs’s approach uses stereolithography: an approach that uses a liquid photopolymer resin which hardens when blasted with laser light. This lets the machine print four times as precisely as low-cost competitors using more conventional approaches to printing.

thisistheverge: CubeX 3D printer can create parts ‘as big as a basketball’ The new CubeX 3D printer from 3D Systems may have a steep $2,499 price tag, but the company is hoping two factors will make you overlook the cost: size and speed. Not only can the CubeX print parts that are “as big as a basketball” (there’s 1,070 cubic inches of space), but the company also claims that it can do so two times faster than competing printers in its class.

thisistheverge: Absolute zero is no longer absolute zero Scientists have rewritten the known laws of physics after hitting a temperature lower than absolute zero. Physicists at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Germany created a quantum gas using potassium atoms, fixing them in a standard lattice group using magnetic fields and lasers. ooooh -  perfect fodder for Absolut vodka marketing campaign (use it, just give me credit).

thenextweb: Amid a myriad of prototyping tools, POP, an iPhone app made by Woomoo, has effectively popped right into my homescreen as an insanely useful way to explore user experience problems and share iPhone app concepts with others. Simply sketch out your idea, take a few pictures and then link buttons to create a functioning mock-up that can be shared across Twitter, Facebook, messages and email. (via POP: This iPhone app is every designer’s missing puzzle piece for prototyping on paper - The Next Web)

photojojo:

This Macro Lens Band is a macro lens that works with any phone!

Android, iPhone 4, iPhone 5. If your dad’s 20 lb. cellular telephone from the 90s had a lens, it’d work with that, too.

Just put it around your phone, line it up with your lens, and you’re ready to shoot photos of the insanely minute details. Your Instagram buddies will be so jealz.
