Elon Musks 'Neural Lace' To 'Achieve Symbiosis With Machines'
Transhumans believe they will escape the laws of sin and death, ultimately merging with machines and computers to live forever. Musk's plan is an attempt to co-opt Artificial Intelligence by merging with it and to avoid being destroyed by it. ? T
Game changing 3D printers for low cost metal parts
A startup will soon launch game changing 3-D printers that can fabricate metal parts cheaply and quickly enough to make the technology practical for widespread use in product design and manufacturing.
A simple birth kit for mothers in the developing world
TED Fellow Zubaida Bai works with medical professionals, midwives and mothers to bring dignity and low-cost interventions to women's health care. In this quick, inspiring talk, she presents her clean birth kit in a purse, which contains everything a
Fluoridation Revisited
This essay originally appeared in the January 1993 issue of The Rothbard-Rockwell Report.
Yes, I confess: I'm a veteran anti-fluoridationist, thereby – not for the first time – risking placing myself in the camp of "right-wing kooks and fana
Graphene sieve turns seawater into drinking water
Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved.
Meet SAM, Brick Laying Robot That Does The Work Of 6 Humans
In the latest installment of our "Dear Bernie" series, posts intended to inform the Vermont Senator about the unintended, negative consequences of minimum wage hikes, we present SAM (Semi-Automated Mason), a brick laying robot designed and engineered
Entanglement of quantum clocks through gravity
Researchers find that there exist fundamental limitations to the joint measurability of time along neighboring space time trajectories, arising from the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Three layers of graphene reveals a new kind of magnet
However, in graphene -- one atom thick graphite -- the density of electrons is much smaller and can be changed by making a transistor. As a result of the low density of electrons the wave nature of electrons, as described by quantum mechanics, is eas
