(Phys.org)—"That's a cool lab trick but what's its purpose?" Marblar wants to tease out great answers from those who log in to participate. With prizes, points and kudos in the mix. Marblar is a new web site that aims to make dream connections possible between scientists and an enlightened audience of innovative thinkers who might collaboratively dream up new uses for unused technology. The Marblar team is coaxing its audience to clickstart a science revolution by coming up with uses that can enable the next big thing. "One thought leads to the next but sometimes to a dead end," said the site's video. "Perhaps we can help make ideas click together in a new way."
