    a hand holding a film-like brain implant Credit: Precision Neuroscience A startup founded by a former Neuralink exec is developing a safer, easier-to-place brain implant — and it just tested the device in people for the first time. Brain implants: Almost everything you think and do comes down to tiny pulses of electricity zipping between the 120 billion neurons in your brain. Brain implants give us a way to see this activity with far more precision than any device outside of the skull, like an EEG or MRI. By pairing this brain implant data with advanced computer algorithms, researchers have...

    Presidential campaigns are -- first and foremost -- about political issues. This is why the media spends so much time analyzing the TV debates, rally speeches, and policy papers of the candidates. But when Americans choose a President, the issues are only one factor on their minds. Americans also weigh less tangible factors to determine how well a candidate would do in office. In short, no presidential campaign can succeed unless sufficient attention is paid to optics -- the process of building an aura of leadership and competence around the candidate. Good optics was certainly a big factor in the...

  • Amazing MR. Young Park,this is absolutely fascinating.

    Using a tweezers, the controls can be moved. All cables and linkages are in place to work the wing control surfaces as well. Young Park has since carved a pilot's face and hands from solid aluminum and built an articulated pilot to sit in the cockpit?Remember this as you look at the pics........... All the controls work as designed, by cables, chains, linkages and levers.Every single part hand made and fitted.

    CAMP TAJI — Technicians are modifying M1-A2 Abrams tanks to make them more effective in the dense, urban Baghdad environment. For Multi-National Division – Baghdad tankers in the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division these equipment modifications are taking place in the form of the Tank Urban Survival Kit being added to their M1-A2 Abrams tanks. In each of the Striker Brigade’s two previous deployments it operated in more rural areas of Diyala and Salah al-Din provinces. These TUSK additions include an increase to the Soldiers’ safety and the tanks’ effectiveness in operations in this area north of Baghdad....

    11/8/2007 - SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) -- The MQ-9A Reaper demonstrated it's unique precision strike capability as a hunter-killer attack platform by dropping its first precision-guided bomb Nov. 7. "The beauty of the MQ-9 Reaper is that we're able to synchronize and integrate unmanned aerial attack platforms over the skies of Afghanistan, allowing us to persistently and consistently track the enemy and ensure that we place the appropriate ordnance on target when required, and maintain that persistent presence after weapons release," said Lt. Gen. Gary North, U.S. Central Command Air Forces commander. The Reaper, the Air Force's unmanned aerial attack vehicle,...

    SOUTHWEST ASIA, Oct. 25, 2006 -- A new, self-steering airdrop system that’s being field tested in Afghanistan represents a revolutionary step beyond traditional delivery methods, the commander of U.S. Central Command Air Forces told a group visiting the command headquarters here during the past weekend. A new Joint Precision Airdrop System bundle floats to the ground after being dropped from the back of a C-130 Hercules aircraft over Afghanistan, Aug. 31. The drop, made from 17,500 feet, was the first joint Air Force-Army operational drop of JPADS in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility to re-supply ground troops...

    CELESTIAL AND MATHEMATICAL PRECISION IN ANCIENT ARCHITECTUREAnd we think we’re advanced MELISSA HIEBERT STAFF Many ancient ruins demonstrate that the people who constructed them had not only a special regard for celestial bodies and mathematics, but also a spot-on accuracy. From Egypt to Mexico, there is no doubt that past civilizations were involved in incredibly complex space calculations, mathematics and architectural endeavours. Although many historians and archaeologists debate exactly what these civilizations did intentionally and what they did by mere chance, here are a few examples of how ancient architecture was created with mathematics and the cosmos in mind. iza...

    By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military WriterWASHINGTON - U.S. warplanes are likely to drop 10 times as many precision-guided bombs on the first day of a war against Iraq (news - web sites) as they did to open the 1991 Gulf war (news - web sites), a senior Air Force planner said Wednesday. AP Photo   "I don't think the potential adversary has any idea what's coming," said Col. Gary Crowder, the chief of strategy at Air Combat Command, which is responsible for all Air Force warplanes. At a Pentagon (news - web sites) news conference, Crowder said 300-400 precision-guided weapons...

    Terminal Accuracy Smart Munitions Knock Out Ground Targets With Fewer Weapons, Less Collateral Damage Glenn W. Goodman, Jr. The extensive use of satellite-guided, Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) by US Navy and Air Force aircraft to destroy high-value ground targets during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan marked another progression in the application of US airpower. During the 1999 Kosovo air campaign, the bulk of the precision-guided munitions (PGMs) used were laser-guided bombs, which had been the air-to-surface weapon of choice for US air strikes for 20 years. JDAMs were still in low-rate initial production by Boeing, and USAF's B-2 stealth...
