Students at a high school in Missouri have built a car they claim can get up to 450 miles per gallon. KMBC reports.

Similar to the sound distortion research, new research on the use of microwave technology such as radar or x-ray that organized crime would use to assassinate a victim through cancer will soon begin.

- Detection methods and the components involved.
- Shielding methods such as lead sheets, lead glass, medical aprons etc.
- Authorities will be contacted before to address any concerns.
- The research may involve the purchase of radar guns or similar more powerful military components for testing or experimenting.

The results of the research such the components needed to detect and analyze the microwave spectrum will be placed on the website for those interested.

New hypnosis techniques are making use of a virtual reality to successfully manage pain.

- virtual reality used as a treatment for pain, in this case burn victims.
- virtual reality relieved pain more than medication for a patient.
- virtual reality is powerful because patient can no longer see or hear hospital room and the wound being worked on.

- "This is the first synthetic cell that's been made,"
- "an important advance in our ability to re-engineer organisms"
- "This is the first self-replicating species that we have had on the planet whose parent is a computer."

- 30 meters long, "Turanor" has enough solar panels to cover two tennis courts
- Voyage of 50,000 km, projected to take 160 days -- through Pacific Ocean, Suez Canal
- Skipper Raphael Domjan: "We have the technology right now to change how we do things"

- Cells are about 1.5 percent to 2 percent efficient at converting sunlight to electricity
- Coating paper with organic semiconductor material could pave way for lower weight of solar panels
- Printed solar cells are in the research phase and are years from being commercialized

New Mexico battles the tough economy by developing its brightest natural resource

- A research group built a molecular factory in which mobile DNA robots assembled gold particles in eight different ways.
- Another researech group programmed a DNA robot that could start, stop, turn and move.
- Scientists might be able to build autonomous medical robots able to cruise the human bloodstream.

- Spain first commercial solar tower 11mw of electricity and perhaps more in the future.
- U.K. model every building powers its self, 10 square meters generates on avg about 850kw hours/year.
- Works very well with light, sunshine is not needed, and if the buildings were full covered it would generate more power than currently used.

- Brain imaging called EEG is used to detect attention, emotions, and memory.
- Algorithms then workout which scenes are most affective.

A flashing computer screen sample from research on psychological harassment from NBC 04-28-2010.
- You can appreciate the flashes better in full screen mode.

"The same psychological manipulation tactics and desires are combined with advances in technology from flashing computer screens to sound distortions and harassment with the goal to discredit victims and drive them to homelessness."

A sound distortion sample in a grocery store and part of a research on sound distortions and psychological harassment.

"The same psychological manipulation tactics and desires are combined with advances in technology from flashing computer screens to sound distortions and harassment with the goal to discredit victims and drive them to homelessness."

- Tests have shown that these ultra thin solar cells are almost as efficient as conventional ones and use much less material.
- Since they are transparent they can be applied to windows or other surfaces and can be much more affordable.

- Scientist talk about the Eyjafjallajokull and Katla volcanos and the iceland volcano patterns.
- Katla has a good probability and pattern of erupting next and 100 times more powerful than Eyjafjallajokull.

Nanotechnology is the next step in technology evolution and it could be used to solve serious problems or create new ones. A big risk or danger is the deliberate design of weapon or control systems for which there is no defense.
- "In my view the advanced form of nanotechnology is arguably the greatest existential risk that humanity is likely to confront in this century" - Dr Nick Bostrom (Oxford University)
- "There’s the potential to do great good with them but there’s also the possibility that we wreck destruction" – Nick Pope (British Ministry of Defense ret.)
- "I have a feeling based on a human history that we’ll actually just turn this into a biological weapon of mass destruction." – Nick Pope (British Ministry of Defense ret.)

- The bond they share makes it easier to focus on why they are there.
- "we do what we do because we feel very passionate about it. We don't do it because we are women; we do it because we really want to be part of exploring the Universe."

This month China's Tsinghua University reaches a total of 275 nano patents applied for from USPTO, outpacing Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute's 274 applications.
