    • A California teen’s invention could potentially knock down cellphone-charging time to a superfast 20 seconds.

      So far, the energy-storage device has powered only an LED light, but it has the potential to do much more.

      The future certainly looks bright for 18-year-old Eesha Khare, who pocketed a $50,000 prize for the Young Scientist award from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, Ariz., for her tiny and possibly revolutionary device.

      Khare sees the device as potentially powering car batteries, cellphones or any electronics that could use a rechargeable battery.

      “My cellphone always dies,” Khare explained to NBC San Francisco, when asked what inspired her invention.

      The supercapacitor, she explains on CBS San Francisco, is “basically an energy source device that can hold a lot of energy in a small amount of volume.”

      The Harvard-bound teen has caught the attention of Google, who has approached her about her device.

      Regardless of what happens to the

    • Brad Josephs was on the Alaskan peninsula shooting video for a new BBC special when a grizzly bear decided to start chewing on his camera.

      Luckily for Josephs, he wasn’t holding the camera at the time. Instead, he had planted his GoPro in order to some close-up shots of the bears to use in the film “Great Bear Stakeout,” which was recorded for the BBC and Discovery Channel.

      And unlike the video's slightly misleading title, "A grizzly ate my GoPro!!!" the bear appears to be simply examining the camera, albeit with its mouth. However, viewers are treated to the truly unusual spectacle of seeing live footage from inside a grizzly bear's mouth.

      “The bear only gently mouthed the camera, and didnt even put a dent in it!” Jospehs writes on his website. “Obviously the card was fine, and I actually used the camera many more times.”

      In the four-minute clip, there is also some fascinating video of the two grizzlies, a 3-year-old cub and its mother, fishing in the water. There’s also an

    • One of the heroic kittens featured in "Paw Warz" (Pet Collective)“A while ago, in a litter box not close at all….”

      If you love Star Wars, or at least love cats, you’ll enjoy this video. And if you enjoy them both, well, happy Friday.

      This new video from The Pet Collective is a re-imagining of the Death Star trench run from the first Star Wars film, A New Hope.

      But instead of a planet destroying space station, we now bear witness to an oversized tennis all, chew toy Tie Fighters and the heroic power of … furballs.

      The Trench Run Scene is the third and final Paw Wars video from The Pet Collective. You can watch the earlier installments, “Not the Toiz you’re looking for,” and “Haz definitely shot first.”

      But don’t worry, even if you find these videos a bit odd, the Furs will be with you, always.
