Arctic Fox Super Mouse
Arctic Fox Technologies has built a wired mouse, called Super Mouse, that places a 3.1-inch square touchscreen directly beneath the area where a palm rests during normal use. The unit measures 109 by 91 by 29 millimeters, carries a boxier profile than most everyday models, and arrives in yellow, white, or gray finishes. Standard left and right buttons sit above a scroll wheel, with two programmable Hyper Keys positioned nearby for actions that feel better as a physical press. Power and data both travel through a single USB-C cable, so the device stays tethered to the computer at all times.

Karen Antorveza Paez finished her doctorate at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich after years spent turning a known bacterial process into finished architectural pieces. Certain living bacteria called Sporosarcina pasteurii can lock loose grains of sand together by growing microscopic crystals of calcium carbonate between them, the same mineral that forms limestone and seashells.
