To get to the core of the galaxy, you need to fly through a very large number of hostile Grox-held systems. Before attempting it, I recommend having the best possible interstellar drive, energy capacity, and health capacity. You will also need about 25 full repair kits and 25 full energy recharge kits. The tool that [...]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical technology that uses powerful magnetic fields to visualize structures within the body. One innovative expansion of the technique presently being investigated is using the magnetic fields to guide small magnetic objects:
Sylvain Martel and his colleagues at the NanoRobotics Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal in Canada are also [...]

Last night, after the Bluetooth connection failed for the hundredth unexplained time, I switched back from my Apple wireless Mighty Mouse to my old Microsoft optical scrollmouse. I must say, the change is for the best. The old mouse is lighter, smaller, and more comfortable. It is possible to press both buttons at once, and [...]
