    With Robot-Performed Virtual Autopsies, Your Corpse Gets a Stunt Double

    Virtual autopsies (yes, "virtopsies") are the newest in cause-of-death forensics. Robots surround a body, creating 3D imagery inside and out. When ready, the real body rests in peace while the stunt corpse gets chopped apart. Goodbye, CSI-induced nightmares! More »

    Commandos To Use Plasma Knives For Field Surgery

    Apparently plasma knives, surgical instruments which have glowing, ionized gas as a blade, have passed Special Operations Command's field testing and evaluation stages. Great! Now how much longer until this tech can be used to make real lightsabers? More »

    Stable, Sane Young Man Installs DIY RFID Implant into His Hand

    Some people are sick of waiting for the RFID implant controversy to play out, and at least one of those people is taking action. YouTube user Quethe has posted a video demonstrating his own RFID implantation technique, involving a terrifying pencil-size needle and a chip designed for pets, which he is using for a predictably unnerving purpose. Also — and Quethe makes this quite clear — this implant does not mean that he is the Antichrist. Phew! Mildly NSFW video and generally unhinged Millenialist ruminations after the jump. More »
