| Paralyzed man uses thoughts alone to control robot arm, touch friend's hand, after seven years Posted: 08 Feb 2013 09:48 AM PST Researchers have described how an electrode array on top of the brain enabled a 30-year-old man to control the movement of a character on a computer screen in three dimensions with just his thoughts. It also enabled him to reach out with a robot arm to touch a friend's hand for the first time in the seven years since he was paralyzed.  |
| Researchers explore quantum entanglement Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:02 AM PST Researchers propose a way in which "spooky action at a distance" can be shown experimentally.  |
| Using Twitter to predict the influence of lifestyle on health Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST Researchers showed last year how Twitter can be used to predict how likely it is for a Twitter user to become sick. They have now used Twitter to model how other factors -- social status, exposure to pollution, interpersonal interaction and others -- influence health.  |
| 3-D printing on the micrometer scale Posted: 08 Feb 2013 07:59 AM PST Scientists have developed the world's fastest 3D printer of micro- and nanostructures. With this printer, smallest three-dimensional objects, often smaller than the diameter of a human hair, can be manufactured with minimum time consumption and maximum resolution. The printer is based on a novel laser lithography method.  |
