3D printer spits out CYBORG EAR… but where will you PUT it?

Princeton’s finest boffins have managed to print out an ear, and it’s not just a simple prosthetic, it’s actually an enhancement with a radio antenna built in. The process of combining electrical circuits with flesh is fraught with difficulties, and building ears is a common challenge given the complexity of shape and their propensity to become torn off or damaged Continue reading

NASA probes unscathed by three solar eruptions

NASA Probes Near Sun Safe from Triple Solar Eruption

Two NASA spacecraft are safe and sound, after the sun unleashed three intense back-to-back solar eruptions in their direction, scientists say. NASA’s Messenger spacecraft in orbit around Mercury and the Stereo-A, which studies the sun from Earth orbit, suffered no damage from the passing solar storms. On April 20, the sun fired off a solar eruption that sent huge wave of plasma and charged particles, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), toward Mercury. Continue reading
