The Potential of Spintronics
In this Q & A session with Physics World, David Awschalom discusses the current uses and future possibilities of harnessing the spin of electrons. This emerging field is called spintronics, and it's potential applications range from massively increased memory storage to the building of functional quantum computers.
Soft Morphing Mobile Robot
Those folks at DARPA are again up to something strange again, this thing is called the Chembot. It's hard to watch, robots aren't supposed to be mushy.
Real Transforming Robot
What else can I say, this is incredible. Maybe transforming robots are going to be a lot more than just science fiction.
Simple Stem Cell Thereapy Cures Blindness
Using stem cells from the patient's own good eye, University of South Wales researchers are curing blindness in an extremely simple and non-invasive procedure. Makes one wonder what kind of other "miracle" medical treatments are just beyond the horizon.
Let’s Go to the Allosphere
A bit speechless (or would the textual equivalent be textless) after watching this video. Using visual art to represent scientific data has been going on for a while, but to make it completely immersive and add the audio dimension completely blows my mind. This may be the kind of breakthrough we need to start really getting a grip on extremely complex systems like human cognition and quantum mechanics.
