For some people here I bet it's nothing more than White noise, and for some users... I bet the MPAA would have a field day. Lol

Watch a prostate surgical robot peel the skin off of a grape

Very cool demo of super conductor and magnets. In case you're wondering, the magnets are normal.

Another homo-species that we coexisted/interbred with early in our history.

Not very cost effective yet, but at 2.2 petabytes per gram the archival applications are promising.

Wow. Scientists wire two rats' brains together and share a thought across the internet.
Cool but a bit scary.

I doubt we will ever know if the second rat is conscious of the remote stimuli or if it just reacted with a "better than random chance." I got a chill down my spine imagining "getting connected" to another persons mind like that. It brings up so many questions: With our human consciousness, would we feel the connection? Would we be able to discern the remote impulse separate from our own psyche? If so, could we resist it? How much will advances in this technology enhance communication and reduce misunderstandings? Can it be used for mind control? Do we even have free will in the first place? Can we set this up over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? Have I read too many Sci-Fi novels or too many books about ESP and Channeling?
IBM made a stop-motion film at the atomic level in "A Boy and His Atom." 130 individual atoms were used and 250 frames were shot. This was accomplished at a temperature of -268 degress Celsius and was magnified one hundred million times.
Yeah. Manipulating atoms just isn't good enough. Give me a good plot over a good score any day.
Want a pocket watch? One with an atomic clock inside it? Well, prepare to pay handsomely and pass the "security checks necessary to carry 'sensitive materials.'"
Scientists rewrite organism's genome for the first time in history.
"Creating an organism with a new genetic code has allowed us to expand the scope of biological function in a number of powerful ways."
