New Bioengineered Ears Look and Act Like the Real Thing →
Physicians at Weill Cornell Medical College and biomedical engineers at Cornell University have succeeded in building a facsimile of a living human ear that looks and acts like a natural ear. Researchers believe their bioengineering method will finally succeed in the long quest by scientists and physicians to provide normal looking “new” ears to thousands of children born with a congenital ear deformity.

Animations Made Entirely By Computers? Algorithm Generates Cartoon Faces, Shows The Future →
A montage of scribbly cartoon faces, each conveying with distinct personality, would make any parent proud of their child’s artistic creation…except a child didn’t produce these faces; a computer algorithm did.

Moon mining race under way →
Space exploration has long been about reaching far off destinations but now there is a race to exploit new frontiers by mining their minerals.
Google has offered a $20m grand prize to the first privately-funded company to land a robot on the moon and explore the surface by moving at least 500 metres and send high definition video back to Earth by 2015.

Scientists Cure Diabetes With Gene Therapy In Dogs – Will It Work On Humans? →
Scientists have now cured diabetes – at least in a group of dogs – and they used a gene therapy to do it. Amazingly, only a single therapy session was needed to return the dogs’ blood sugar levels to normal. It wasn’t the first time the researchers used the therapy to cure diabetes – they’d done the same previously in a group of mice. But the fact that the treatment worked in the larger canine is a promising sign that it might also one day work in those even much larger animals: humans.

3D-Printed Skull Implant Ready for Operation →
3D printing technology has helped replace 75 percent of a patient’s skull with the approval of U.S. regulators.

Underwater Robots Tail Sharks →
Humans aren’t good at following sharks. We’re noisy in the water, need to breathe air and the animals generally get disturbed when we’re around. So a group of California universities put together a project to use autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, to do the job.

Transhumanism and Money →
Money is at the very center of how human beings communicate with one another in complex societies and yet it is almost completely ignored in all private k-12 education in the united states and most nations. Money isn’t economics, Money is human behaviour, it is group and individual psychology.Particularly now, as the world body of nations and central banks escalate currency wars(and trade wars), more people are turning their attention to money.

Robotic fish gain new sense: Navigate water currents and turbulence →
Scientists have developed robots with a new sense — lateral line sensing. All fish have this sensing organ but so far it had no technological counterpart on human-made underwater vehicles.

Nanoscribe Will Sell a Micro 3-D Printer That Creates Tiny Structures in Seconds →
Nanoscribe, a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, has developed a tabletop 3-D microprinter that can create complicated microstructures 100 times faster than is possible today. “If something took one hour to make, it now takes less than one minute,” says Michael Thiel, chief scientific officer at Nanoscribe.

World's most detailed scans will reveal how brain works →
Scientists say they have published the most detailed brain scans “the world has ever seen” as part of a project to understand how the organ works.

Giant NASA spider robots could 3D print lunar base →
The first lunar base on the Moon may not be built by human hands, but rather by a giant spider-like robot built by NASA that can bind the dusty soil into giant bubble structures where astronauts can live, conduct experiments, relax or perhaps even cultivate crops.
