High-tech mug keeps coffee at the perfect temperature
Now here's a brilliant invention. This "world's first intelligent coffee mug" manages to keep your coffee at the perfect temperature for 30 minutes. It won't cool down and provide you with a gross, lukewarm sip if you leave it for a bit. Nope, it keeps things just perfect.
It does this by using a wax-like substance between the walls of a porcelain mug. It absorbs and stores the warmth emitted by the initially-hot coffee and uses it to keep a constant temperature for longer. How awesome is that? I can't wait until this thing leaves the lab and becomes ready for sale.

How come it looks like the thing ins plugged in? If it is not supposed to be plugged in, why is there a cable in the picture?

Good question saris. Maybe the cable is connected to a thermometer, so they can tell whether it's working during the testing phase?

I thought that as well, but if you go to the website they show a picture of the setup they used for testing, and it was obvious where the test equipment was. I just thought if you are trying to convince someone that this will keep things warm without a heat source then may try to keep questionable things out of the photo. The cord just makes it look like you have to plug it in to actually make it work. One for the continuity department.
