		<description><![CDATA[Before the advent of laparoscopic or keyhole surgery in the 70's, operations such as a stomach bypass or gall bladder removal required large incisions and long periods for recovery. The next chapter further minimizes the invasiveness of surgical procedures via robots that are millimeters in size that infiltrate our bodies through the ears, eyes and lungs, to take tissue samples, deliver drugs, or install medical devices.]]></description>

To get a sense of what it may look and sound like, look no further than the cutting edge of virtual reality taking shape at academic research centers outfitted with world class data visualization facilities. In this post, we'll take a look at three (ok, four) of the most remarkable scientific visualization technologies.]]></description>

It involves the use of nano-particles — wisps 1/50,000th the width of a human hair — in agriculture and could have beneficial affects for crops, say scientists.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Implantable organ and tissue "scaffolds" are currently in the spotlight for regenerative medicine, and may allow for the replacement of most body parts that flounder with age within 30-50 years, according to a BBC report. That means future centenarians born today could have a "physical" age of 50 at a calendar age of 100. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore&#8217;s Law, we&#8217;ll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years.
The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today&#8217;s manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink transistors and the copper wires that connect them. Processor [...]]]></description>
