Ok, so this isn't quite Scary Cool (yet), and I'm sure you're familiar with examples of non-Newtonian fluids in action, but the video embedded in this page gives a really neat demonstration of the technology in a practical application.

i cannot find the article right now but i read that some scientists are planning to genetically cross cows with spiders. the milk of the chimera is supposed to be spun. the gained yarn is said to be woven to bullet-proof vests. (i can't get rid of the idea that those cowders are going to redefine the meaning of world wide web).

rail gun tests
- I thought rail guns propelled magnetically. Why is there combustion as the projectile leaves?– ETM1/2
  because of friction with the air. That's why space shuttles heat up so much on re-entry.– cilence2/2

hmmm, seems like every single cool invention is used to kill, harm or for use in military service.
- Where do you think technology comes from? The military develops it, perfects it, kills people with it then releases it to the public.– Hurley1/4

  Military technology comes from misappropriated funds from public taxes for the financial gain of contractors– version33/4

K, it's more 'scary' in the sense that it's so utterly of The Future.
There have been murmerings of space-based power generation from orbiting solar catchment platforms (notably, by DARPA and the governments of India and Micronesia) for a while now.
Now, at last, a firm commitment has been made by a major American utilities firm to buy power from a company that intends to have the systems in place by 2016.
Given that gov'ts interest in zero-carbon power sources and promotion of space tech, this might actually get through regulatory hurdles.

It's the fucking future, man.
