Man’s dream management
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts have developed a device to control people’s dreams using smells and sounds.
The device has the appearance of a glove with appropriate sensors to control muscle movements, heartbeat and electrical conductivity of the skin. Sensors obtain information about the phases of human sleep. When the state of hypnagogy, which is an intermediate stage between sleep and reality, the device transmits an audio signal consisting of a single word – which characterizes the image that a person sees in the air. 50 experiments were conducted, all of them gave a positive result. Dreams are also influenced…Read moreEngineers will teach smartphones to “sweat” for self-cooling
Shanghai scientists are working on a cooling system for smartphones that will actually make devices “sweat”. Scientists have created a special sorbent that separates water vapor and removes heat from the device. The material absorbs moisture…Read more

From frogs: engineers first created work from living cells
The robot is an artificial body of living cells that can be controlled.
Robots made of skin and heart cells taken from frog embryos were assembled into stable forms, designed by a supercomputer and placed in a petri dish. The skin cells give the body a shape that resembles a drop with four “legs”, while the cells of the heart pump blood inside the organisms and help them move.
Each robot has a length of about 1 mm. Scientists call the development “xenobots”…Read more
Ilon Musk promises to employ 1 billion people on Mars

Sony Corporation is a media company producing a high-quality, modern electric car.
To answer your question: no, you won’t be able to buy the Sony car. Not any time soon, at least. The company has no plans to mass-produce the Vision-S, the car it surprise-announced at the end of its press conference at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, nor does it plan to do a limited run.
