Injectible computers

Care to have a computer injected into you? No? What if the computer could analyze your blood and tissues for diseases? Tell you how healthy you are? Tell you the horrible effects of that soda you just drank? Tell you how prepared you are for a marathon? Well, researchers have already found that DNA can be turned into logic gates. Logic gates are the building blocks of computers. String a bunch of DNA together and you get a small computer. It's that simple.

DIY Copter Drone Lands on a Moving Target

I found this fascinating in the robotic flight category. Although the control system is barely stable (the up and down movement almost oscillates out of control), the copter is able to land most of the time. See the link below.

Autonomous DIY Copter Drone Lands on a Moving Target Using a Wiimote's Eye

What do you think about autonomous drones? Scary? Too futuristic? Both? I say get used to them for major cargo delivery and even wide-area delivery, like between cities. Taking the human out of the loop simplifies almost everything. At the same time, there is no question whether it is a mechanical or pilot failure!

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid - the Quantum version

Looks like Nicolas Gisin is still at the forefront of Quantum Entanglement. I mention him in my book, Entangled. This time, he is going to shoot entangled photons at human eyes! Yes, really. Look at 

Spooky Eyes: Using Human Volunteers to Witness Quantum Entanglement

Though eyes are poor photon detectors, they hope there is some enlightenment about entangled photons.

 I don't think new revelations will come about because of this experiment. A photon is a photon, whether its quantum spin is up or down. I thought it interesting he warned there is no danger of the person viewing the photons to become entangled with the person on the other side. I guess in any nascent technology there is always F.U.D. (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) by many who are quite cautious.
