According to Associate Professor Adam Osseiran of Western Australia’s Edith Cowan University, the yearly damage bill in the U.S. for termite damage tops US$12 billion, while in Australia they cause an estimated $1 to $3 billion damage each year. In attempt to reduce such damage, Osseiran and his team have developed an acoustic sensor that is so sensitive it can detect termite infestation by “hearing” them chew through timber. <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/wispr-acoustic-termite-detector/21128/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/violin-speaker-home-audio/21121/">ViolinSpeaker resonates at CES</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/author/enid-burns/">Enid Burns</a></p> <p><em>13:36 January 16, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/violin-speaker-home-audio/21121/#comments">5 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/violin-speaker-home-audio/21121/pictures">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/violin-speaker-home-audio/21121/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/violinspeaker.gif" title="The i Violin display at CES" alt="The i Violin display at CES"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Often viewed as works of art, violins and other string instruments are not uncommonly displayed in the home.

Instead of warming pots via heat transfer from electrical elements or gas burners, they instead use coils of copper wire located beneath their ceramic glass surface to induce an electrical field within metal pots, which results in the resistive heating of their contents. Typically, the sizes and locations of those coils are marked on the stove’s surface, and users must place their pots on those. Thermador’s new Freedom Induction Cooktop, however, will heat up cookware placed anywhere on its surface. Not only that, but the “active” part of the cooktop will conform to the footprint of whatever size or shape of cookware is used. <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/thermador-freedom-induction-cooktop/21047/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/striker-flexit-light/20950/">FLEXiT offers a new take on task lighting</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>16:33 December 27, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/striker-flexit-light/20950/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/striker-flexit-light/20950/pictures">9 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/striker-flexit-light/20950/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/flexit.jpg" title="The FLEXiT Light incorporates a bendable, hang-able and magnetically-attachable array of 1..." alt="The FLEXiT Light incorporates a bendable, hang-able and magnetically-attachable array of 1..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>For people who want portable LED lighting that mounts just about anywhere, there are already devices such as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/joby-gorillatorch-flare/15350/" target="_blank">Joby Gorillatorch</a>, most of which are variations on the tried-and-trusted flashlight form factor.

Three desks were created and three receptionists were each seated at their very own work of art. Since they were decommissioned, the three extraordinary industrial chic desks have been so sought after at auction, that French furniture designer Furdess has negotiated with the original designer, Ben Swildens, to create a limited re-release of eight desks. Only three are still to be sold, with an asking price of EUR65,000 (US$87,000) a piece. <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/limited-edition-eur65000-peugeot-swildens-desk/20743/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118174826/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
