  • that he had a dramatically expanded prefrontal cortex - a new technique to study the corpus

  • callosum - developed by Weiwei Men of East China Normal University's Department of Physics

  • found Einstein had more extensive connections between certain parts of his cerebral hemispheres

  • compared samples of 15 elderly men and 52 men Einstein's age in 1905.

  • Arc Nova is an inflatable concert hall. Created by architect Arata Isozaki and sculptor Anish

  • Kapoor - the structure takes about two hours to inflate and holds around 500 people. The

  • different scents like coffee, coconut, curry, and cinnamon roll.

  • Hawkes Ocean Technologies has created The Deepflight Super Falcon a kind of underwater

  • plane. It has the ability to do barrel rolls and jump out of the water because of its wings

  • making it more like an underwater plane that a typical submarine. Their commitment to using

  • electric energy makes it safe to operate around humans and marine life, and they're taking

  • orders for them right now.

  • Mollusks have teeth made of magnetite which is the hardest material made by a living organism,

  • ever. So Yeah.

  • Yaskawa electric is making a device to help people that have suffered from a stroke to

  • be able to walk with more ease. It's similar to the boot that stroke victims currently

  • use but it's now motorized to help lift and move the user's leg forward giving them a

  • longer and more confident stride. A sensor inside the boot detects when the user is walking

  • and starts to automatically assist, allowing them to take bigger steps and they're shooting

  • for commercial availability by 2015.
