There are a couple of cool things I saw while browsing through the Interweb today.
The first one is this news that Honda successfully uses brain signal to control a robot to moves its fingers. Unlike others, they did not have to perform surgery to connect wires to your brain. Instead, they use MRI machine to capture the signal and send that to the robot. I think that’s pretty cool. Here comes the Age of Borg!
The second news is about this cloaking device. Several scientists have proposed of a way to make an object disappear! Yes, just like Klingon’s Bird-of-Prey or Romulan’s Warbird! This is not just some stealth technology that makes things disappear on radar, but actually make it disappear from your eyes! It seems that they (mathematically) came up with a way to make like light flow around objects like water (instead of hitting it and scatters).
