Robot Satellite Hunters Coming Soon – Why risk human life to clean up all the space junk cluttering up geostationary orbit space when we can design a fleet of robots to do the task. Seems like a good idea, right?
Making a Cloud Chamber – Ever wonder what radioactive decay looks like? Well, lucky for you, this handy how-to details the rather simple process.
Artificial Black Hole – Thanks to the development of metamaterials, scientist have figured out how to create an artificial black hole. Since metamaterials distort space, this allowed a black hole to be created in the lab without the need for large gravitational fields. This particular black hole only has an appetite for microwaves.
Nerve Implants – Nerve implants have been developed to help with arificial limb integration for amputees. This makes me wonder, how long will it be before people are trading in their own flesh for shiny metal appendages?
Robo-Blob – Blobby! Its morphing body allows it to go where no robot has gone before.
Self-Propelling Bacteria Harnessed to Turn Gears – Horse-power is so last century. Now we have bacteria-power! I’m going to put my order in for an E. coli powered car right now.
Wireless Neural Implants – Neural prosthesis have been developed to transfer data externally via a laser though the skin. That’s right. Laser. Skin. The main goal of this technology is for remote control of prosthetic limbs or computer control for the severely paralyzed.
Sweden Turning Stray Rabbits Into Biofuel – Yes, I had to do a double take on this story as well. That’s right, got an abundance of the cute little fuzzy critters (bunnies, cats, deer, cows, really any will do)? Apparently, they make good biofuel… Also, as anyone who has watched The Matrix knows, human makes a great fuel source as well. Really, Sweden, you are just making it easier for the robots to feast on our tasty flesh.
Telepathy is the Future – Ever wish you had your own BrainPal? Well, that technology may be closer than you think. Personally, I’m not going to get one until it has a good spam-blocker.
