Panasonic has been working to make its transparent television completely invisible. The firm recently revealed a new version that uses an OLED screen instead of a LED, and now when the set is in transparent mode, it is completely undetectable. This suggests the firm is one step closer to rid the world of monstrosities that hang in our living rooms.
At a special event in San Francisco the firm unveiled a a raft of new products, including the Pixel handsets that will use Google's AI smart assistant.

The real Lord of the Rings: Jewellery from 3,500-year-old warrior's tomb could give insights into the origins of Greek civilisation
Dr Sharon Stocker and her husband Professor Jack Davis stumbled upon the remarkably undisturbed grave while digging near Pylos, an ancient city on the southwest coast of Greece.

From VR-controlled droids to cyborg cheerleaders: Robots take over the show at Asia's biggest tech fair
The annual CEATEC show at the Makuhari Messe near convention centre near Tokyo is a showcase for Asia's biggest technology and auto firms including Hitachi and Toyota. The inventor of the 'Caiba' droid (pictured, bottom left) hopes his robot, which is controlled by a human wearing a virtual reality handset and mechanical arms, will act as an alternative to the artificial intelligence (AI) currently being developed by major technology firms. Clockwise from top left: a voice-controlled robot from Sharp,Japanese firm Murata's cheerleader robots and Developer Katsumori Sakakibara's remote-controlled Caiba robot.
Can YOU see the hidden objects? Fiendish dot test that conceals drawings inside coloured circles leaves the web stumped
The trend for baffling brainteasers shows no sign of abating and a new puzzle now puts your eyesight to the test. So can you see what's hidden inside each coloured circle? People have had different results after taking the test with some finding certain pictures impossible to see, while for others they're a cinch. So can you see what's inside each coloured circle?
Talk about a mammoth price tag! Complete skeleton of 50,000-year-old woolly beast is expected to fetch a record £200,000 at auction
The mammoth was recovered from the southern part of the North Sea, an area previously frozen over during the last Ice Age and known to experts as the largest graveyard of woolly mammoths on the planet. Dredged up using fishing nets, the bones were assembled by Dutchman Bart Schenning in a shed outside his house. It took more than ten years of hard work to put the skeleton back together.
Meet the world’s biggest sailing superyacht! It’s got three massive masts and needs a tug to get out of port and is owned by the same billionaire who moored his OTHER superyacht on the Thames
It was virtually impossible to miss the world's largest sailing superyacht as it took to the sea for a test run today (left) - thanks in large part to its three mammoth 300ft masts which stand taller than Big Ben's tower. The 468ft-long vessel, owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko (inset with his wife), was reportedly pulled out of the German Naval Yard in Kiel, north of Hamburg, by a tugboat and it eventually built up a speed of 20 knots. But the superyacht, worth an estimated $450million (£313million), was not able to realise its full potential because the three huge sails have not yet been unveiled. They are expected to be tested at some point in the next week. It was imaginatively named 'Sailing Yacht A' by its owner - who hit the headlines in September when he moored his other £225 million superyacht, 'Motor Yacht A', on the Thames.
Would you wear an INFLATABLE bike helmet? Airbag is six times better at absorbing impacts than foam
A team at Stanford University has tested inflatable helmets (pictured right) to measure the level of protection they provide compared to standard foam helmets worn by cyclists. The researchers have found the airbags can be up to six times better at cushioning impacts. Inflatable cycle helmets are worn folded inside a collar around the neck (pictured bottom left) and algorithms then detect a crash, deploying the airbag around the wearer's head (pictured top left).
EXCLUSIVE: 'We kill bad guys and blow up their stuff' - on board the USS Eisenhower as its Top Guns blast ISIS with bombing missions around the clock
DailyMail.com had exclusive access to the US aircraft carrier whose pilots are flying missions over Iraq and Syria to bring death to the fundamentalist Islamic terror group. Its squadrons of F-18 Hornets and F/A-18 Super Hornets (top, center) blast off from the flight deck at 200mph around the clock, powered by their afterburners to take to the sky. They then head for the air above Syria and Iraq where, their commander told DailyMail.com, their mission is succeeding. Of ISIS, he said: 'They will be destroyed.' On board more than 7,000 crew and aircrew work to keep the nuclear-powered supercarrier moving and its planes in the air, some working in a furnace of heat on the flight deck where temperatures reach 145F and the roar of jets makes hearing impossible. The mission began in July and has already seen more than 1,000 combat flights. 'Top Gun' JT Anderson, the most senior pilot, said: 'The people we are fighting are truly barbaric. We know how important the task is.'
The 'very demanding' gaming robot that will ignore its opponent and take selfies if you upset it
Robots have learned to outsmart humans in a number of common games - and now, if your skills aren't up to par, they just might get 'upset' with you. Interactive designer Alexia Léchot has developed a robot that uses iPads to compete with humans in small mimicking games, pictured left. But according to the creator, 'Deltu' is very demanding, and will change its mind during gameplay and instead begin to take selfies if the participating person displeases it, as shown on the right.
Alien hunters spot mysterious glowing orb on International Space Station livestream before NASA cuts the camera feed
The blue tadpole-shaped illumination, which was caught on the NASA livestream filmed from the International Space Station in the Earth's inner orbit, was seen flying close to the camera before it cut off. Stills from the footage, (left, right, inset) taken on September 30, show the peculiar light gleaming in the darkness of the atmosphere. The prolific UFO hunter who uploaded the video onto YouTube insisted the light was not caused by the reflection of the sun on the camera lens.
That's really cool: Facebook gives rare glimpse inside its gigantic Luleå server farm just 70 miles from the Arctic circle
The main building is the size of six football fields, and is so big that engineers move around on scooters (main image).Giant fans (top left) pull in cold air to cool the vast racks of servers (top right). To protect the sensitive data, once they are obsolete, hard drives are destroyed (bottom left). The center opened in 2013, and was Facebook's first outside the US. It is located deep in the forests of northern Sweden.
Pictured: The incredible gigantic hole that appears to be draining water from the Pacific Ocean
The hole, located in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area near Yachats in Oregon, looks like it belongs on an alien planet.However, the seawater levels in the Pacific Ocean are actually perfectly safe, because the hole - called Thor's Well, and sometimes the 'gate to hell' - is actually around 20 feet deep. It is a remarkable sight, though - and attracts scores of tourists all year round, keen to see the incredible phenomenon in action.
