This robotic hand, can catch balls, juggle with straws and even bounce balls, way faster than you and I can. It's staggering, and may open up a whole new range of applications. Very cool! Enjoy!

Let's say you're at workm and your boss is giving you a hard time about a due date on a project. What can you do? You can't open up a can of beer and drown your sorrows. Here's a solution: have a beer, while everyone thinks it's a coke. Cool!

This video shows the perfect way to spend the day: opening up beer bottles, and of course drinking them. Great vid! Enjoy!

A beautiful animation written, directed and animated by Ignacio Ferreras. From my point of view this animation is a work of art. It's amusing, but I don't know if everybody will like it, so keep your minds open, and try to enjoy it.

The Japanese have an odd way of thinking. Here's another fine example of this kind: a cool futuristic door, that opens in pieces. Although it's spectacular, and maybe energy efficient to some point, I fail to see the real world usefulness for it, especially since it also has a few bugs. Anyway, it's pretty cool! Enjoy!

A smart cat manages to open the food jar by itself. Funny or not, I think that the owner should get a bigger jar, so one of those cats doesn't get its head stuck in it Enjoy!

This kid was in the middle of showing his friends how good he is at doing tricks with a soccer ball, when, unexpectedly his dad opens the door. The rest is history! Hilarious history )

An idiot in a Jeep decides to teach a lesson to these kids going on their longboards on the street. Granted, they shouldn't be allowed do this kind of thing on an open street, but also the guy in the Jeep is a total moron!

Some moron decided he would try a drift on an open PUBLIC road. Faced with incoming traffic (a motor bike) he crashes into the mountain and rolls it on its side. Ouch!

You can probably remember a Japanese project that we featured similar to this one. If not, here is the link. Anyway this one is more advanced, and probably still largely classified in the way it functions. But yes, it opens the way to some of the greatest Sci-Fi robots you've seen on TV and dreamed about. It's now possible even to make the famous exoskeleton loader we've seen in "Alien".

This guy, drives a forklift through a narrow opening, not realizing that this could be the biggest mistake of his life. Luckily for him, he had a fast response time, or he could've ended up with some serious injuries. Wow!

Well you've got to be crazy to go out there in such conditions. Wait untill she opens the door, and you'll see what I mean. Crazy weather out there!

Here's an interesting parachute accident: the guy's chute opens in the airplane door, and he gets entangled on the tail section of the plane. Luckily it all ends well, but it could've been much worst. Love his friends for bailing so fast

One of the things that got the front page these days was the US-Iran incident in the Gulf of Tonkin. A few fast little boats apparently unarmed, tried to provoke a reaction from the US ships in convoy. Although authorized to open fire, the US ships didn't want to start a war. Wise choice in my opinion. Here's the official video of the incident:

Here's a spectacular accident on the freeway. After raining quite a bit, it seems that the water in the sewer had nowhere to go but out into the open, like a geyser. Really amazing! Enjoy!

Nobody can doubt that a pilot has skills, when he tries (and succeeds) to open beer bottles with his helicopter. So after doing this, what's next, maybe a haircut? Any volunteers?

This study researched killing cancer cells with nano-magnets, with the same principle as a microwave oven. The study of nano-particles applied to biomedicine continues to give interesting results, as research is still in its infancy. Through their work, the chemists from the university of Cagliari are now investigating some of the possibilities opened by this field. One is to use magnetic particles to convey the drugs only to the diseased cells, the other is to drive up the tumor and then force them to oscillate under the control of a variable magnetic field, thereby heating the target cells, just like a microwave oven does with the water molecules contained in food. This second mechanism exploits hyperthermia. It appears that cancer cells can be destroyed by beeing brought to a temperature of 42.5 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. In order arrive at the place desired, the particles must be incorporated into liposomes, hollow microspheres formed by lipid bilayers (for which reason they are called "magneto-liposomes"), which are able to overcome the barrier of cells. They must have a diameter of about 20 nanometers. Larger could indeed block blood vessels, while smaller particles may be "eaten" by macrophage cells which are in charge with the elimination of foreign bodies. Currently, the research team is working on the synthesis of particles and study of their structural and magnetic properties. Currently these are being built in oxide of iron or iron cobalt. The latter are more manoeuvrable, because their magnetic properties depend strongly on the direction along which the field is applied to (property known as magnetic anisotropy).

Twenty years after the first partially successful attempt to cold fusion, a new experiment seems to have reopened the hopes of obtaining nuclear reactions at low energy (LENR low-energy nuclear reactions). This was announced by a team of researchers led by Pamela Mosier-Boss of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (California), with a study presented at the annual meeting of American Chemical Society, the first visible evidence of the production of neutrons, the particles subatomic whose presence demonstrates the atomic reaction occurred. It was 1989 when Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons showed that it has obtained experimentally the Cold Fusion, arousing great outcry in the scientific community. Fusion is the reaction that takes place inside of stars, their source of energy, able to reproduce in the laboratory at room temperature this process would be an amazing achievement. Further research then disappointed initial expectations: the rare attempts (for example, those of 2000 and 2002) to reproduce the results of 1989 and have not convinced the path of nuclear reaction at low energy has not proved viable as an alternative to "clean" nuclear fission, which is based on the common operation of nuclear power.

To isolate individual cells of the immune system and study the interaction in order to improve the treatment of cancer. At this will serve the new biosensor prototype developed under the project Cochise (Cell-On-CHIp bioSEnsor), supported by the European Union and coordinated by Roberto Guerrieri, professor of Electronics at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bologna . The biological approach used to treat cancer patients consisting of interferon, interleukin-2 or other factors stimulating the growth of different cell types and able to reinforce the natural defenses of the body. But these substances are not always well tolerated. An alternative approach is to identify the immune cells able to fight cancer, cultivate them in vitro and then re-introduce them in the body. But here the problem lies in identifying and in isolating the small number of cells that are selectively able to fight cancer. The objective of the project Cochise (which is intended to last three years), is to develop a new class of biosensors capable of isolating cells (not more than 1 in 10 thousand) that are actually effective in fighting cancer cells . As the first objective was developed a prototype, used to demonstrate the possibility of controlling the flow of two individual cells and putting them in a display where you can study the interaction.

It was finally demonstrated how atoms arrange themselves inside the materials. This opens new possibilities for designing ultraresistant objects. Glass is a material called 'amorphous', whose atoms that is, are not disposed in a regular type structures crystal. The substance is not considered a solid but, rather, a liquid with very high viscosity. An international research team, led by Paddy Royall University of Bristol (Great Britain), in collaboration with Japanese and Australian scholars, is now able to demonstrate that during the solidification particles have in-shaped structures that prevent the icosahedron formation of crystals. Unlike solid crystalline form, in which the atoms are fixed to one another by chemical bonds into regular geometric structures, glass appears' solid 'just because the movement of each particle is physically prevented by the presence of other neighbouring atoms. The particles, that is, hinder each other. It was thus finally confirmed, with a simulation test, a 50 years old theory that explains many of the characteristics of this material and that could allow us to build, for example, non-crystalline metals much more resistant than traditional ones.
