Mouse In A House You Say?

Another day another post...the goods please...

• Miracle Mice!

This is a REALLY interesting and amazing article/study. Some scientists have created mice that can literally grow back all of their body! Except that is of course, the brain. Anything except the brain that the mice has you name and the mice grow it back, amputated limbs, holes in their ears, their heart or even any other internal organ. They can grow it all back. One of the best things about it is the fact that if you inject some DNA from the special mice to normal ones the other mice "normal" mice gain the same abilities as the special ones. This would make it EXTREMELLY easy to get this ability to the mass public if it was developed completely for humans, think of the abilities, the potential, and how many lives this could save...it's awe-inspiring....Best yet? No scars what-so-ever. Amazing.

• With Only Your Finger

This here is a neat new way of using everything with just your fingers....It projects lasers onto you fingers. When you move your fingers it tracks where you move them and how. It then displays it onto a screen. This can be used for handwriting in the air, finding out where a bouncy ball moves and creating 3D objects. I haven't finished reading the information on it myself, as it is a rather long read, so I can't say how exactly it works, judging from the videos that I've watched though it projects a laser onto your finger and a special camera tracts where you move. If you don't want to read the article (which you may not as it is a bit on the technical side) then I urge you to at least check out the videos, (located at the bottom of the page I linked....) alot of them are really cheesy but the ACM SIGCHI 2005 DEMO and the SIGGRAPH 2004 DEMO are much nicer and informative....the 2005 demo actually explains everything in english.

• Ozone Gets A Scratch? Give It A Bandaid

Well, it seems that there is alot of controversy over the Ozone layer these days, but at least it seems to be clearing up a little bit, well not clearing up, more like its depletion has been stopped...Well at least for the time being. Although, as the second article states, it'll be around another 45-50 years until it heals back to its "pre-industrial" state. Hm...I just wish the ozone could be given a band-aid, wait a couple of weeks and then be healed....I can dream can't I?
