À la veille de la Journée mondiale contre le cancer, l'information est encourageante : une fibre optique portable dotée d’un scanner pourrait détecter en quelques minutes des cellules cancéreuses noyées au milieu du tissu sain.
Grâce à cette technique, les chirurgiens espèrent disposer de moyens suffisants pour s'assurer lors de l’excision d’une tumeur que tout le tissu cancéreux a bien été retiré et ainsi éviter les récidives. No comment yet.

Reconstructing the brain piece by piece and building a virtual brain in a supercomputer—these are some of the goals of the Blue Brain Project. The virtual brain will be an exceptional tool giving neuroscientists a new understanding of the brain and a better understanding of neurological diseases.
The Blue Brain project began in 2005 with an agreement between the EPFL and IBM, which supplied the BlueGene/L supercomputer acquired by EPFL to build the virtual brain.

A laser-seeking, self-steering bullet flies through the air, rendered visible by a glowing LED ensconced in its tip. No, it's not that the US military suddenly wants its enemies to see its bullets coming. Instead, its developers needed to test the weapon's in-flight steering electronics, to prove they can cope with the shock of being fired.
The fact the LED stayed brightly lit means that the in-bullet circuits did indeed remain unbroken.

La Terre se réchauffe, et ce, toujours plus vite. Si les scientifiques ne cessent de le rabâcher, à coup d'études et rapports documentés, une poignée de climatosceptiques continue de nier cette réalité, arguant d'une manipulation planétaire. Alors, quoi de mieux qu'une modélisation pour mesurer le phénomène ?
C'est ce qu'a effectué la NASA, en résumant dans une vidéo de 26 secondes 131 ans d’évolution des températures sur Terre, de 1880 à 2011.

Indeed, i agree on the authors idea.Definately this is a futuristic invention which i would see it happening in the next ten to tweenty years or so,i have also seen this smart eco friendly car invention in other articles and it certainly looks like a promising one. I feel that this electric car is space friendly as the driver and passenger exit the vehicle through the front of the car , via a retractable windshield that lifts up.In a small city like Singapore,which space is limited,this smart electric car would certainly be a positve factor to the citizens here and would come as a possible solution for limited space to the government. The people which would benefit from this will only be couples since the car is a two seater car. I would say that there are also some negative factors,the manufacturer should make a four to six seater car so as to attract families with children since the car is a elecrtic car and is eco friendly ,this can also then reduce the number of cars using petrolium on the road and cause lesser pollution to the environment.

Boston Dynamics is an engineering and robotics design company best known for the development of BigDog, a quadruped robot designed for the U.S. military with funding from DARPA, and DI-Guy, COTS software for realistic human simulation.
Early in the company's history, it worked with the American Systems Corporation under a contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) to replace naval training videos for aircraft launch operations with interactive 3D computer simulations featuring DI-Guy characters.
