Could advances in video processing be used in understanding genetics?
April 3rd, 2010This article from MIT Technology Review talks about using bioinformatics technology to analyze video. Specifically using genetic sequencing techniques to analyze video. The article goes on to say that the amount and types of data in video is similar to t… more »
Plug In Hybrids Are Yesterday's News - I Want Plug In Generating Hybrids
February 13th, 2010It is simply amazing to me how behind the curve the big automakers are. Not only can't they figure out how to make plug in hybrid vehicles, they fail to see all the uses that those vehicles could have. Now I don't claim that anything I'm saying here is n… more »

Is A Brain/Machine Interface On The Way?
January 15th, 2009Actualites EFPL had a press release that talked about using carbon nanotubes as a way to connect to neurons. The interesting thing is that you can connect neurons to neurons or neurons to other devices. The nanotubes connect better than the metal probes… more »
More Complex Organs Being Emulated
January 15th, 2009It seems another sense organ is being emulated with the help of carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes, what can't they do? Seriously, this is another highly complex organ that I thought would not be able to be easily fabricated. There is a technical article on it… more »
Here come the Cyborgs!
January 1st, 2009Haemair Ltd. is working on a compact artificial lung. Something I never thought I would see, a organ like the lung being built artificially. I always imagined that the lung was something too complex to replicate. What's next? The stomach? Imagine never h… more »

Experimenting With Fuels
September 14th, 2008I was thinking of how cement foundries use tires to generate heat to make clinker. The same heat could be used to form metal if the fuel could be balanced with the air that is coming in. You may think "Tires? They're dirty and smokey to burn!" but plenty… more »
