As part of the Grand Challenges Explorations Programs, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation called on researchers to come up with a "next generation" of male condoms that would be easier to use and improve sexual pleasure.
A Boston University School of Medicine radiologist and his team garnered the $100,000 grant to develop a self-lubricating condom that would be more durable, more resilient, and make protected sex more pleasurable.
Stemming from a Kickstarter campaign, a recycled water bottle roof would provide shelter for disaster victims in light of the recent devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
