Blah. It's a stretch to imagine that the properties of this material could be changed enough for it to be useful for camouflage. It seems like it acts more like a mirror. We all know that mirrors aren't camouflage.

so. good. SOGOOD!

Lol, old habits die hard and this is a pretty old habit we're talking about.

I'm not saying it'll be able to zoom and rotate that well by 2019, but since I'm an optimist, I envision supercomputers and around corner scanning accompanied with this for a Blade Runner - esque experience by at least 2XX6.

Maybe you haven't seen bladerunner. This is barely the beginning.

"You see, half my face is a watermelon now!" hah

I'd be pretty pissed if I were a crew member and had to wear elf ears on every flight.

Am I the first to notice the fundamental flatline in the research discussed here? They asked them which ones *look* most beautiful and found that the ones reported to look beautiful triggered the area of the brain that activates when someone sees something beautiful. At a base level, this is the equivalent of asking…

Oh, if only cutting edge physics was more like google and wikipedia. Did CERN miss the memo that we want what we want, precisely when we want it? For god's sake CERN, I'm gonna have to ask you to put the new coversheet on your TPS reports BEFORE they go out.

Cue the zombie mice apocalypse!

trolololo

You took the words right out of my type.

Wow! We're saved! Call Detroit!

Why did Gerald choose potholes for the title? The concept says nothing about this menace and it certainly doesn't show you where the wheels are lining up.

Sadly, they are not. It would appear they are closer to x:1:4.

Bear in mind that 16 electrodes can only provide so much neuro-muscular stimulation. It's likely the complex muscular function involved in standing, balancing and walking will require a huge leap from the current capabilities. This is just the proof-of-concept though. I'd say this is just the start of something really…

Ah, but looks can be deceiving...

Lol, true. That perspective hadn't even crossed my mind. Much like the World Series of Baseball is really just an American (+ BlueJays) competition, so it is with truck rankings...

All this over the #2 spot? Is it just me, or are sloppy seconds are getting sloppier?

How many parts have you had 3D printed? Every single part I've ever made on an FDM machine has had to be tweaked and reprinted at least once, if not multiple times, to work out the kinks. And that's all while working with an integrated flat plate substrate. Bringing the dynamic surface of human flesh and the…
