US scientists have built a tiny ratchet device that can separate some types of cancerous and non-cancerous cells. It is hoped that one day ratchets could be implanted close to tumours to trap metastatic cells. Read more at {PhysicsWorld}.

Calvin Harris performs his new single Ready For The Weekend on the first human synthesizer. The instrument employs 15 bikini clad models painted with Bare Conductive, a new skin safe ink which conducts electricity. Why bikini clad models?...must have something to do with the conductivity... Anyway, when the models/performers touch, the connection completes a circuit, triggering a sound. Read more and see a video on 'the making of' the human synthesizer after the jump.

It's definitely green, fast growing, and can produce 15 times more oil per acre than other biofuel plants.

The "NASA Finds Alien Life Form in California" announcement last week has sparked much controversy. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this discovery is that scientists are now faced with the awareness that they need to expand their views on what constitutes life, so that when they are looking on other planets... they won't miss it. Read a great review of the controversy at {CosmicLog}.

What is augmented reality? It is the superimposing of graphics, audio and other sense enhancements over a real-world environment in real-time. It is like the graphics you see when a Cyborg scans an environment. Yes, we are on our way to having the ability to become Cyborgs...possibly by the end of this decade.
