5 Technologies That Will Shape the Web
Harvard Controls The Minds of Worms…With Lasers! (video
The CoLBeRT system uses lasers (left) to control genetically altered roundworms (right). I love cutting edge science, but sometimes it can seem nefarious enough to make a James Bond villain squeal in delight. Researchers at Harvard University have designed a laser system that can control your mind…or at least the mind of a roundworm.

Japanese Scientist To Clone Woolly Mammoth Within 5 Years!
New techniques in cloning frozen mammals may allow scientists to bring back the mammoth. More than a decade after their first attempt, a team of Japanese scientists have announced that they will aim to clone a woolly mammoth in the next five years. Led by Akira Iritani, the team plans on taking mammoth DNA extracted from preserved corpses found in Siberia and inserting it into African elephant eggs that have had their DNA removed.So, this is not a tractor beam at all, since it pushes rather than pulls, doesn't work in space and is only good for moving glass beads.

Advanced medical devices are the tools that enable humans and robots to merge, perhaps signaling the dawn of a technological singularity.Plastic to Oil
Due to exceptional circumstances, we are republishing the present story about an exceptional innovation. Over a year after it was originally published, this video brief about the invention of a plastic-to-oil converting machine recently got a viral boost and exceeded 115,000 views on YouTube. This is evidence that concern over “the plastic problem” is certainly not going away, despite encouraging bans on and decreases in the use of plastic shopping bags.Paper To Pencil, Just Like That! P&P Office Waste Paper Processor is one of those things that you wish you knew how it works, but dang! no reasonable explanation provided at all!
