Scientists to attempt time travel experimentation.

This is too science-fiction for Cyberpunkwatch, which means I get to post it here. So if we all suddenly cease to have ever existed, you will have known why.

For the first time, scientists have produced conclusive evidence that it exists. And it comes from the Bullet Galaxy. What a name!

Since this is my journal, and not cyberpunkwatch, that's all the commentary you get.

Broke your arm? Severed your optic nerve? You need a nano-pack! Courtesy of Scientific America, scientists have used nanotubes to successfully repair the optic nerve in hamsters. These nanotubes are actually promoting regeneration! Note that vision doesn't seem perfect, but holy cow - this is a marked improvement over the computerized attempts ( Read more... )

We're a long way from Mr. Fusion, but a team in New York has replicated an experiment out of UCLA that produced fusion at room temperature. That's right, folks - cold fusion is no longer a myth.

But I think this looks like a lot of fun. I'll have way too many books on my plate after my birthday to attempt the speed reading program (this time), but I think I'll have to go for the rest of the program at 9.

(Also, I think I need new mood icons.)

You know, if I were to write a conspiracy theory, Google would be too easy. They're apparently preparing to launch a massive wireless network, and now they're partnering with NASA. In addition to all the space exploration stuff, this gives them a serious in with biotechnology, rocketry, and more.

I know, I know - it's not a real entry. But still, this is major news!

Mammalian Regeneration (Ganked from Slashdot).

This is pretty amazing science. We're talking near-complete here, folks. Regeneration of missing limbs, complete with joints, as well as major organs, and things like the optic nerve! This is nobel-prize big.

Bush backs Intelligent Design. And people wonder why we're falling behind in terms of scientific progress.
