Harvard creates translucent lung mounted on a microchip

Taken from slashdot:
"Utilizing human lung and blood vessel cells, researchers have created a device mounted on a microchip that mimics a living, breathing human lung. About the size of a rubber eraser, the device was developed by a team from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, and Children's Hospital Boston. Because it's translucent, researchers can watch the processes taking place inside of it — something that's difficult to do with an actual lung. It will be used for testing the respiratory effects of environmental toxins, aerosolized therapeutics, and new drugs. Using conventional models, such tests can cost more than $2 million."

Dominated to death | The Sun |News

A BRITISH motor racing boss has died after romping with a woman who claims to be "Europe's most perverted dominatrix".

Robert Mortimer, 58, collapsed in the shower after an "intense session" with Mistress Lucrezia and her assistant, Mistress Juno, at their Belgian villa near Brecht.

The two women, whose website says they specialise in administering "extreme pain", called an ambulance after Mr Mortimer keeled over on Tuesday afternoon.

Romp ... Robin Mortimer

Lucrezia, 46, whose real name was given only as Ira V.D., and Juno, 37, were both arrested and charged with assault and battery leading to death, without intent to kill.

Lightsaber technology one step closer

From an article at Daily Tech, where they talk about the dangers of such a powerful laser: 'And here's the best (or worst) part — it can set people (or things) on fire. Apparently the laser is so high-powered that shining it on fleshy parts will cause them to burst into flames. Of course it's equally capable of blinding people.' The thing that caught my eye was the price: $200. I wonder if they'll be able to meet the demand, since (if it works as advertised) this will be on every geek's Christmas list.

The product comes with a warning that the weapons-grade laser can burn and/or blind people or animals.  (Source: WickedLasers)

Given enough time anything is possible if not add into account parallel universes where only minor differences occur

The odds are astronomical: 30 years ago, when Alex and Donna Voutsinas lived in different countries and long before they met and married, they were captured in the same photo at Disney World. That's Donna at right in front. Alex is in the stroller in the background immediately behind Mr. Smee.

Things wrong with this picture

1. Batman can't lift his costume over his stomache like that. It's made of Kevlar.

2. Batman can't breathe on the moon.

3. The sun is illuminating half of the back side of Earth.

4. The sun is too large. If it's supposed to be a red sun, then Superman should have retired the uniform and it should engulf Earth.

5. Superman is pressing up against Batman to hear the baby. He has super hearing and should not need to do this.

6. Batman no longer wears his logo like that.

7. Batman wouldn't even bother being Batman if he were pregnant. Notice the lack of utility belt? He's not prepared to do superhero work.

8. Batman is a man.

9. Batman's breasts are not swelled.

Mad scientist Venter creates synthetic self-replicating bacteria from scratch

“The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) used the four types of chemicals that make up DNA, and complex assembly methods utilizing yeast cells, to ’program’ the 1.08 million base pairs that make up the genome for the bacteria cell. As described in the journal Science, the result was a synthetic copy of the Mycoplasma mycoides, dubbed M. mycoides JCVI-syn1.0, that can grow and divide like normal.”

Germany’s Artificial Cornea Ready To Restore Sight To Thousands

“An expansive EU project to produce an artificial cornea has found success thanks to the work of Joachim Storsberg of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Germany. Storsberg helped develop a new version of an opthalmological polymer which the eye will bond to and still allow to function properly. The new polymer could help restore sight to thousands waiting for corneal transplants around the world. The artificial cornea has passed clinical trials and is ready to see expanded use in patients this year. Very soon those with corneal blindness may find a ready cure in the form of the new implant.”
