Disney’s new animatronic robots are getting too realistic for me
Posted by Sean Brazell in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI
Disney will soon be opening a new Avatar-themed experience in Disneyworld Florida, and a group of the brand’s biggest fans got to see a preview last week.
One of the highlights of the ride are the ridiculously realistic Na’vi robots that talk to the visitors. The movie’s CGI already looked stunning, but these animatronics are just ridiculously realistic.
Disney’s Imagineering team has been experimenting with various ways to bring its famous characters to life, like mixing animatronics with digital screens and hopping one-legged robots.

The methane seems to bloom in the Martian summers when the atmosphere is viewed with spectrography lenses on powerful telescopes I read once. Which always made me wonder if there’s algae of some form in the subsoil.
Scientists are getting closer to solving one of the biggest Martian mysteries.

Dual Gene Therapy Has Beneficial Effects On Blood Biomarkers And Muscle Composition
Posted by Montie Adkins in category: biotech/medical
More results concerning Liz Parrish, this is the important part:
No negative effects have been reported, and there are no visible detrimental effects in blood analysis thus far; providing tentative evidence of safety in the first human test of BioViva’s dual gene therapy strategy.
Biomarker analysis and MRI imaging data from the past year have revealed beneficial metabolic changes and muscle improvement in Elizabeth Parrish, CEO of BioViva USA Inc. and recipient of BioViva’s experimental dual gene therapy in September 2015.

3D printing the future of drones as Northrop Grumman hit TERN milestones
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: 3D printing, drones
DARPA recently performed a critical design review (CDR) in mid-October of the design’s General Electric engine. The GE engine will enable the drone to fly both vertically and horizontally. GE are rarely far from 3D printing news, not just for developing their 3D printing portfolio but also for repairing 3D printed engines with 3D printing. Naturally, the details of TERN’s engine have not been made public by DARPA but it may be fair to speculate that GE would have looked to use their latest developments with 3D printing in the project, especially given the value of 3D printing for making low volume or one-off complex components.

MIT Creates AI Able to See Two Seconds Into the Future
Posted by Andreas Matt in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
On Monday, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced its new artificial intelligence. Based on a photograph alone, it can predict what’ll happen next, then generate a one-and-a-half second video clip depicting that possible future.

Get Ready for the Easy Bake Oven of Homemade Body Parts

You could mistake ELENA for a miniature accelerator. But, unlike most accelerators, it’s housed in a hangar and you can take it all in in just a single glance. The biggest difference though, is that it doesn’t accelerate particles, but decelerates them.
CERN’s brand-new machine measures just 30 metres in circumference and has just begun its first tests with beam.
The ELENA (Extra Low ENergy Antiproton) deceleration ring will be connected to the Antiproton Decelerator (AD), which has been in service since 2000. The AD is a unique facility that enables the study of antimatter.
