These cyborg tissues are half living cells, half electronics. As far as the cells are concerned, they're just normal cells that behave normally — but the electronic side actually acts as a sensor network, allowing a computer to interface directly with the cells. In the case of cyborg heart tissue, the researchers have already used the embedded nanowires to measure the contractions (heart rate) of the cells.
Apparently someone let Andy Samberg speak at Harvard's graduation. Included in the 20 minutes are impressions of Mark Wahlberg and Nicolas Cage, Samberg finding out that he in fact is not getting an honorary degree for speaking, and every mom (and dad) in the audience being collectively hit on at once.
Built from single atoms, the first-of-their-kind switches could one day be networked via fiber-optic cables to form the backbone of a "quantum Internet" that allows for perfectly secure communications, said Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin, who, together with Professor Vladan Vuletic of MIT, led a team consisting of graduate students Jeff Thompson and Lee Liu and postdoctoral fellows Tobias Tiecke and Nathalie de Leon to construct the new system. Their research is detailed in a recently published paper in the journal Nature.
To be fair there's a whole lot more murder involved with getting into the Dark Brotherhood than with Harvard.
No need to rub your superior education, real world opportunities, and rapping talent in our collective faces.
