Computer, Heal Thyself

"... Teuscher is not interested in nature for its own sake. Rather 
his passion for biology stems from his conviction that living 
organisms are the stepping stones to a new era of computing -- one in 
which circuits and chips will be self-healing and self-replicating.
...
"The BioWall constitutes a major step towards the creation of 
intelligent, bio-inspired electronic tissues, capable of evolving, 
self-repairing, self-replicating and learning. In its current form, 
the BioWall surface combines the possibilities offered by the very 
latest information technology with the most instinctive of human 
gestures - touch.

The current BioWall is a mosaic of three thousand transparent 
electronic modules. Each of them enables the visitor to communicate 
with the surface simply by touching it with their finger, calculates 
its new status and indicates it immediately on an electronic display. 
This extraordinary ability is demonstrated through a number of 
experiments."

The hydrogen car has been a long time coming. GM is betting $1 
billion that the end of internal combustion is near.

Europe's New Air War

Why are US allies building their own global positioning system? Call 
it a declaration of independence.
