Inventables: materials from the future

Inventables is an online store that sells “materials that designers, artists, and inventors use to develop new products and push the boundaries of what’s possible”. That’s a pretty tame description for the craziest collection of stuff I’ve ever seen…it’s like a Home Depot from the future. For instance: Suction Cup Tape, Heat-Shielding Gel (“temporarily protects surfaces in temperatures up to 7500 °F”), Translucent Concrete, and Rubber Glass (“looks like glass, breaks like glass, but feels like rubber”).
