For the first time researcher have worked out how to transform stem cells into a specific type of nerve cell. Bad Memory Worrying You? Solution.

Researchers at Northwestern University were able to use embryonic stem cells to make forebrain cholinergic neurons, or BFCNs, the type of neurons that die off early in Alzheimer's patients.

With this success, the BBC reports, scientists have now given themselves an enormous supply of neurons for research,

German Computer expert says US and Israel behind Stuxnet computer worm in Iranian atomic facility

"My opinion is that the US and Israeli Mossad is involved," Ralph Langner said while discussing his in-depth Stuxnet analysis at a prestigious TED conference in the Southern California city of Long Beach.

"But, the leading source is not Israel... There is only one leading source, and that is the United States."

"The idea behind Stuxnet computer worm is really quite simple," Langner said. "We don't want Iran to get the bomb."

"It was engineered by people who obviously had inside information," he explained. "They probably also knew the shoe size of the operator."

I guess it might be easy to explode any future Iranian reactor.

Engineers in the growing unmanned aircraft industry are working on drones that look like insects and the helicopter-like maple leaf seed.

Researchers are even exploring ways to implant surveillance and other equipment into an insect as it is undergoing metamorphosis. They want to be able to control the creature.



AeroVironment has a history of developing such aircraft.
Over the decades, the Monrovia, Calif.-based company has developed everything from a flying mechanical reptile to a hydrogen-powered plane capable of flying in the stratosphere and surveying an area larger than Afghanistan at one glance.
It has become a leader in the hand-launched drone industry.

Whats coming is a new generation of aircraft with the agility and appearance of small birds



Lockheed Martin has developed a fake maple leaf seed, or so-called whirly bird, loaded with navigation equipment and imaging sensors. The spy plane weighs .07 ounces.
On the far end of the research spectrum, DARPA is also exploring the possibility of implanting live insects during metamorphosis with video cameras or sensors and controlling them by applying electrical stimulation to their wings.
The idea is for the military to be able to send in a swarm of bugs loaded with spy gear.

Already developed were flies, bees being flow remotely, controlled by electrodes inserted in their brains.
