Levitation Possible in Real World |
 ...ould lead to the development of micro machines that will be free from friction, with levitating moving parts.
Micro-electromechanical systems are of major importance for example in tiny mechanical devices triggering an airbag to inflate it in the car. They are also necessary for providing power to very small 'lab on chip' devices applied in drugs testing and chemical analysis.
If the scientists learn how to manipul... |

Hands-Free Phones - More Dangerous for Drivers than Alcoholic Drinks |
 ...Drivers talking on mobile phones, including hands-free phones, are more dangerous than drink-drivers. Those chatting at the wheel, even using hands-free devices, are four times more likely to get into a car crash and their reaction is on average 30 per cent slower than the reaction of drinkers at the legal limit and 50 per cent slower than the reaction of sober drivers. According to the experts, the distraction is caused... |

Scientists Manage to Revive Sensations in the Amputated Limbs |
 ...be it. When these patients were touched on the chest, they reported about sensations in their artificial limb.
This can lead to a breakthrough in medicine, creating a nervous system feedback in devices that substitute the missing limbs.
Although researchers claim that full reestablishment of the nerve sensations were not made yet due to the fact that it may be due to the differences in spatial perceptions.
