In the last few years scientists have been making efforts to minimize robots so they will aid medical procedures: Robots are already involved in spinal surgeries today, and this new nanobot will hopefully be involved in new highly accurate medical procedures allowing minimal tissue damage.

Back about 1780, it was noted by Galvani that an electrical charge to a dead frog's leg would make it "jump". Today the same principle is used to establish if a nerve has been severed or is dead. A direct current electrical charge is supplied to test if the charge can go from the point of stimulation to the point of detection. It can tell if a nerve is ill (and from what type of cause), severed or dead. It can also diagnose muscle diseases. Today, we know that injury that disrupts t...

By special request from a really great artist, person and friend. He’s a “Jack” of all trades, and a Master of at least one. It’s not Skinhit, although the description fits him too. And no: I’m not going to name him/her/it. OK. No one can ever place enough emphasis on this topic. Period. Anyone who has experienced an irreparable crash and didn’t have a backup knows this: It’s a “Do this or weep” thing. Fact: Every hard...
I noticed several people had posted on problems they were having getting Dreams to play on their Desktops, so I went hunting and found a utility (I love Utilities!) that might just help in finding which CoDecs they have and which they need to run the Dreams on their systems.

VideoInspector Version 2.2.7.125 might just be the tool you need to get the reason why those gorgeous Dreams aren’t doing what they s...
