Wacky Afghan Engineer Develops Remote Controlled Kalashnikov Burglar Alarm [Safety First]
The infamous Kalashnikov has a long and illustrious history of murder and mayhem, which makes it the perfect centerpiece for a contraption developed by unemployed Afghan electrical engineer Hanif Molavizadeh. With only a small movement outside his window, the device will trigger a "song like warning
Intel Atom Turns One With New 2GHz, 1.2GHz Models
It's been a year since Intel fired the opening salvo against regular-size laptopping with its Atom processor. Now, the Z series gets its expected speed bump, and at the bottom end, a low-power MID-oriented model. The Atom Z550 takes the Atom to heretofore unseen speeds of 2.0GHz, while maintaining
FDA Approves Prostate Cancer Vaccine
Yesterday, the FDA approved a drug called Provenge. It trains the body's immune system to fight off advanced prostate cancer. It's also the first proof we have that immunotherapy works in the fight against the disease. Provenge from Dendreon isn't a preventative vaccine; it won't stave off il
New Paint Could Block Wi-Fi From Nosey Neighbors
Living in an apartment building, I can spot about twenty active Wi-Fi networks at a time. And the worst part is that they can all see me, too. While we've had RF-blocking paint to cellphone signals for some time, manufacturers have been thwarted when attempting to stop higher frequencies, lik
Nasal Spray Chills and Saves Brains After Cardiac Arrest
Consciousness lost, breathing stopped, pulse gone. Someone just slipped into cardiac arrest. In order to preserve the precious memories and thoughts at risk right now, we're gonna have to squirt some perfluorocarbon coolant up a nose and chill a brain. It certainly sounds odd, but by using a
South Korea Building Self-Sufficient Super-City at What Cost?
Designed by Foster + Partners, the Incheon "super-city" will incorporate biomass energy generation, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydroponic roofs in order to be the greener city on the other side. No word on how much pollution the construction will cause. The hope is that Incheon will one day become
Electronic Circuits That Melt Into Your Body

It makes me nervous too. I’m not so keen on the idea of circuits enveloped in a silk substrate, which melts into your body leaving just nanometers-thick layers of electronics. But it’s for the best, trust me on this one.
Until now, body-embedded circuitry was very limited. The electronics were hard, or had to be separated from the body. With this new technology, flexible circuits can be directly implanted anywhere in the body, protected by a cocoon of silk, which is human friendly. The silk melts away over time, leaving a small substrate of silicon circuitry inside that can’t be noticed.
This opens the door to things like LED tattoos, which can monitor and display sugar levels in the bloodstream, other kinds of sensors, and chips that connect to the nervous system. You know, so the government an their extraterrestrial allies can deactivate our will at any time and convert us into alien egg nests. [Technology Review]
