GEEK TOY OF THE WEEK:

GREEN House, a Japanese company, has created a portable LED lamp that generates its own electricity.

GOOGLE+ users have been getting excited this week about Nasa's new project which, theoretically at least, could allow us to cross vast distances in space very fast.

COMING SOON:
