Terminator IV is coming out and with a bang…the bang being an explosive combo of Christian Bale and McG. But am I seeing the rise of the machines here? I just read in Wired that “Adam,” a robot capable of carrying out the entire scientific process (formulating hypotheses, designing and running experiments, analyzing data, and deciding which experiments to run next) exists. Thinking bots! Should we start thinking about REAL terminators chasing us…just a thought!

  • New Brain Cells May Knock Out Old Memories November 12, 2009
    Old memories may get the boot from new brain cells. A new rodent study shows that newborn neurons destabilize established connections among existing brain cells in the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in learning and memory.
