Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines – Robots remotely detonating bombs? What could possibly go wrong?
Why Fish Hold the Key to Increasing Wind Farm Power - Because if there’s one thing that fish are experts at it’s fluid dynamics. And, as every fish (and Mythbuster) knows, drafting is a good thing. Apparently the same ideas can be applied to wind farm output as well.
(Air) Robot Makes “Arrest” – The robots, they are watching. You.
Sentient Slime? – As every NetHack player knows, the mold is smarter than it looks.
iPhones like Meat – Nothing goes better with a capacitive multi-touch device than a hunk of sausage!
The Force is Strong on the Track and Field – New duds for both Overlords and Minions in the gym.
Roger Ebert’s New Voice – is his Old Voice – This one is genuinely touching. I’ll forgive you if you shed a tear.
The Meanest Fish in all Creation – (Well, only the meanest, until we develop a better one using Science! Hmm goldfish + tiger +…)
Skinput: Turning Your Body Into a Touch Screen – This screen won’t crack if you drop it!
