Are We Witnessing the Birth of Real AI?
6/18/12
Technology has provided us with many facsimiles for human life. Computer simulations, artificial intelligence programs, and automated chat-bots all give us the illusion of a communicating thinking being. But what is intelligence? Is it the ability to take pre-programmed information and run through a series of responses in a predictable but human manner? Many believe that life isn't simply a series of programmed responses, but rather a complex system of learning and adapting to new situations. And now one robot - a three foot tall open source research project called iCub - is drawing on human psychology as it not only adapts, but actually learns like a human baby.

The Limits of Cryogenics and the Future
6/18/12
Cryogenics in science fiction is a process that allows people to pass through long periods of time in what seems to be the blink of an eye. After weeks or sometimes years of being cryogenically frozen, subjects then emerge into a world unfamiliar to them and interesting. The process has been a staple in science fiction mythologies ranging from the Planet of the Apes series to Ridley Scott's Alien series. But will it be possible in our own lifetimes? Could we one day enter a booth and then emerge centuries later completely unharmed to see the world in an advanced state of technological development?

Metamaterials to Bend Definition of Possible
6/2/12
When we think about meta-materials and what they may be able to do, it's difficult to imagine them in practice. It's only when scientists actually develop the material that these possibilities suddenly become more concrete and eerie. What if there was a material that expanded when it was supposed to compress - or a piece of paper that folded itself long after you were done applying pressure to it? What might the world's top engineers and inventors be able to do with something that could appear to defy the laws of physics? One day soon we may hold in our hands raw materials that seem to have a life of their own thanks to recent breakthroughs.

Artificial Intelligence: The Engine of Rapture?
4/17/12
When we think about artificial intelligence, one of the things we have to work with is the image portrayed by the media of how the consciousness may behave. Generally the narrative follows a similar plot arch as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The builder of the AI carefully crafts his machine and then, short of screaming "It's alive!" watches in wonder as the entity begins acting autonomously - often with tremendous destructive effect. But will the real development of AI be quite so simple? Or will there be a bit more warning as the technology improves gradually?

Fusion power is considered to be the holy grail of scientists working with energy in the future. Not only would fusion allow for nations to power their infrastructures without problem, it would also provide power to those seeking to leave the Earth's orbit and travel to other worlds. And yet for years the secrets to fusion have remained beyond the capabilities of scientists to discover. For every breakthrough in the past that promised a future of free energy there always seemed to be still more setbacks. But two major contenders for fusion breakthroughs say research is moving closer to fusion energy than ever before.
