Theodore Berger, a biomedical engineer and neuroscientist envisions a day in the not too distant future when a patient with severe memory loss can get help from an electronic implant. “I never thought I’d see this go into humans, and now our discussions are about when and how. I never thought I’d live to see the day.”
More and more articles emerge on the serious problem of bees disappearing in alarming numbers. In addition to Syngenta’s and Bayer’s recent suggestion that we should “plant more flowers” to aid the declining bee population, instead of getting rid of the dangerous agents causing the problem, the wizards at Harvard have come up with a technological “solution”.
The Air Force is preparing to spend $49 million to research the biological effects of non-lethal directed energy weapons in hopes of creating future weapons that manipulate the body on a biochemical or molecular level.
This may sound wildly farfetched but given that the military has researched unbelievable “human enhancement” technologies, weaponized hallucinations, autonomous robotic jellyfish, insect-sized killer drones and fully automated “killer robots,” this shouldn’t be all that surprising.
The new incarnation of Boston Dynamics’ PETMAN robot, being developed for DARPA with Department of Defense funding, not only looks human but it also sweats to regulate body temperature.
A new video showing PETMAN in action depicts the robot dressed up in a post-apocalyptic chem-bio suit with sensors embedded to detect hazardous chemicals.

Chipmaker Freescale Semiconductor has created the world’s smallest ARM-powered chip, designed to push the world of connected devices into surprising places.
Announced today, the Kinetis KL02 measures just 1.9 by 2 millimeters. It’s a full microcontroller unit (MCU), meaning the chip sports a processor, RAM, ROM, clock and I/O control unit — everything a body needs to be a basic tiny computer.
Temporary electronic tattoos could soon help people fly drones with only thought and talk seemingly telepathically without speech over smartphones, researchers say. Electrical engineer Todd Coleman at the University of California at San Diego is devising noninvasive means of controlling machines via the mind, techniques virtually everyone might be able to use.
For years, so many years, we’ve launched article after article pointing out the insanity of beliefs in elite “scarcity memes . ” And Peak Oil has been one of the most stubborn and longest-lasting.
