Bacterial meningitis

Brain surrounded by pus (the yellow-greyish coat around the brain, under the dura lifted by the forceps), the result of bacterial meningitis. A brain autopsy demonstrating signs of meningitis. The forceps (center) are retracting the dura mater (white). Underneath the dura mater are the leptomeninges, which appear to be edematous and have multiple small hemorrhagic foci(red).

Disc of Destiny: New optical techniques could preserve data for millennia.

Messages are stored as two types of alterations in the way quartz glass refracts light. The combination of the two allows for data-storage densities as high as 360 terabytes per disc, or more than 7000 times today’s 50-gigabyte double-layer Blu-ray capacity.

Meet the Triquad!

As cool as quadrotors are, in most cases they're simply not as good as helicopters. So researchers came up with a "Y4" configuration that aims to take all the good bits of helicopters and make them as simple as quadrotors. Keep in mind that this is still a quadrotor: it just had things shifted around a little bit.

Flexible Battery Made From Nanotubes

Samsung may be releasing a semi-flexible phone, but researchers have developed a flexible battery made from carbon nanotubes. It's aimed at powering future flexible devices. Using standard electrochemical processes, carbon nanotube-enabled flexible battery can be made to any size.

NEC debutes adorable companion robot

The new robot, Papero Petit, stands 24 centimeters (9.4 inches) tall and weighs 1.3 kg (2.8 lbs)—about half the size of earlier models. It combines multiple sensors (cameras, ultrasonic range finders, temperature sensor, and microphones) to detect people and look in their direction even in complete darkness. The robot can recognize faces and has between 80 to 90 percent success rate at speech recognition.

Keep Walking for Better Health

Just check this out.......

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.

Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

SMART PEN.

Now, smart pen that vibrates when you make spelling error.

Lernstift is a regular pen with real ink, but inside is a special motion sensor and a small battery-powered Linux computer with a WiFi chip.

Together those parts allow the pen to recognize specific movements, letter shapes and know a wide assortment of words. If it senses bad letter formation or messy handwriting, it will vibrate.

Users can choose between two functions:
Calligraphy Mode - pointing out flaws of form and legibility
or
Orthography Mode - recognizing words and comparing the word to a language database.

Car cum House

Sick Of Paying Rent? Just Build Your Own Tiny Palace, Like These Guys Did...

This house is so small you could practically take it home in your pocket. But its real charm is that its owners are forgoing the "more is more" mentality and living both lightly and beautifully on the planet.

Chris Tack made seven trips to Goodwill to get rid of his stuff, before moving into the 140-square-foot home he and his wife Malissa Tack designed and built. Constructed on a trailer bed and parked in Snohomish, Washington, the house is more than enough space for them, the couple says. And one advantage of a home on wheels, the 29-year-olds say, is that you can always move.

"If bees disappear from face of the earth, we will have only four more years to live"

Bees pollinate about 80% of plants. If plants don't get pollinated, they don't produce seeds and without seeds many plant species will simply die. If this happens, not only will we have no fruit and
vegetables to eat, but many trees will die out and the amount of
oxygen in the world will rapidly decrease, as plants create oxygen.
No Food.
No Oxygen.
No Animals.
No Humans.

Next time you see a bee buzzing around in your house, carefully
help her (yes these hard workers are female) find her way back
outside. She is your life insurance.
