What happens when you pour beer onto a frying pan? It boils and evaporates, right? Not exactly. The beer sort of turns into this goopy blob that looks like some alien amoeba. Look at it go and tell me you’re not going to do this the next time you’re drunk (don’t do this while you’re drunk).

When you think of cyborgs becoming a reality, you probably picture Arnold Schwarzenegger’s glowing red eye from Terminator or the steely, tight-lipped stare of Robocop. But the future where man and machine converge won’t just be built with nuts and bolts. It will be built with biology.

Remember Dummy, the robotic arm from the Iron Man movies? Well, don’t you think that it would be cool if you had something like that in real life helping you out throughout your entire day? The uArm robot from China could very well be the answer to this particular question, as it is capable of pouring you a drink, fetching some stationery, not to mention play music. Retailing for £168 a pop, the uArm robot can be controlled using a computer mouse, where it will arrive in wood and acrylic designs.

If you think that plants do not communicate, here is an update on such a viewpoint – they actually boast of a communication system which comprises of electrical signals which will activate in response to external stimuli, and these signals happen to be a valuable form of data. Such data happen to be produced only by plants when they are exposed to sunlight, pollutants, nutrients or pests. PLEASED happens to be a project from the W-Lab of the University of Rome, Italy, where the main focus would be on the gathering of raw data from plants which are happily residing outside, so that meaningful interpretations can be obtained from such signals. The reason behind this effort? To harness plants as valuable and ubiquitous living sources of data which will inform humans of the various changes in the environment so that we can respond better.

This is a game changer, folks. Whereas mining stem cells has been either an ethical quandary or a months-long affair, scientist can now turn any old blood cells into stem cells in just 30 minutes—by dipping them in acid.

It is just the sort of news you’ve been waiting for: new research has shown that engaging in sex can improve mental performance and increase the production of new neurons in the hippocampus, the area of the brain where long-term memory is formed. This is the sort of scientific news that even people who don’t care about science can get behind.
Catching a bullet as it flies through the air is a tired old illusion—but can it actually be done in real life? Surprisingly, yes—at least, theoretically.
