1. An exoskeleton is being developed that can be operated with mind control.


The participant in the picture is moving the exoskeleton with his upper body weight, but a version where the user would wear an EEG cap and the exoskeleton would respond to electrical signals through the cap is currently sensitive enough to differentiate between directions.

3. In 2014 the first human trial of a bionic eye could give the blind extra mobility.

Researchers from Monash University in Australia explain that a combination of the eyepiece and an implanted chip in the brain will give the user a low-resolution outline of objects. It’s meant to help the completely blind achieve more independence in their day-to-day lives.

5. “Schmeat” is meat grown in a lab and derived from real animal cells.
...And it is currently valued at $338,000 per piece.

5. The pressure that exists in the core of a neutron star is so dense and strong, scientists think it may be very similar to the conditions of the Big Bang.

This state can’t be simulated on Earth.

6. Dolphins understand not only a complex vocabulary but also syntax, basic rules of word order for sentence formation.

Scientists use a modified version of American Sign Language to communicate with them, and dolphins use a paddle system to respond to their queries.

7. The webcam was invented to monitor coffee levels at Cambridge.

The live feed was turned off after 10 years of use, in 2001.

We have so scientifically evolved we can do anything we think, 50yrs on now we still can't find the cure for HIV now ebola is prowling. I think some few powerful peeps are purposely sabotaging medical science and cashing in on it

10. A single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern is the strongest material on Earth.

It would take an elephant balanced on a pencil to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap.

11. The Western painted turtle can survive under a frozen pond for the whole of winter.

The same regulatory pathways that allow turtles to do this exist in humans, and scientists think further study of the turtle can illuminate therapeutic targets for hypoxia-induced tissue damage in victims of heart attacks or stroke.

12. This is a 3-D printed ear with actual electrical components to allow auditory processing for deaf people.

It’s the very first step toward printing or manufacturing biological flesh-based organs that behave and operate in the same way as the real thing.
