Doctors were successful in the implementation of a new form of skin cancer treatment; a patch that can be worn on the skin. Many people don’t realize that human skin is actually an organ, and is capable of ‘breathing’ and absorption. The patch contained a radioactive isotope or radionuclide, phosphorus-32.

In the study, subjects were exposed to the radionuclide patch for three hours, thrice during one week. 80% of the subjects tested had unsightly tumors from their face completely eliminated via this easy radiation treatment. This breakthrough could provide an amazing alternative to expensive and difficult surgery or radiotherapy.

“The Invisible Helmet”

The helmet, despite being a smart wear and crucial for risk takers, is often associated with being uncool and looking funny. What these people don’t realize is that breaking your neck and dying is similarly uncool. Lucky for those unwilling to buckle in, two Swedish designers have come up with a gadget that could revolutionize the head protection industry.

There are some pretty innovative ways of producing energy out there: we’re getting smarter, greener, and cheaper. The number of carbon neutral options available to us is constantly increasing. Wind, solar, ocean, and of course, pot generated are all pretty cool, but does it get much better than energy harvested from dancing?

Some staggering sales and good bargains highlight January’s domain name transaction crop.

If you’ve ever been to a bar, you know that the only thing worse than the overpriced drinks is the struggle to get the bartender’s attention.

There is no foolproof method to getting a drink at a crowded bar; that is, until now.

Imagine you had achromatopsia and were unable to see any colors whatsoever. Would you roll over and deal with it? Or would you choose to become a cyborg?

Neil Harbisson decided to go with the latter.

Light up a paint job with the flick of a switch!

A company called Darkside Scientific is blowing minds coast to coast with their new electroluminescent paint they call LumiLor. They’re electrifying everything from walls to guitars to motorcycles, and the sky is the limit for what Lumilor’s future capabilities could be.

Waiting anywhere is a pain in the rear, but especially at crosswalks.

Is there anyone that enjoys standing around pushing a button that neglects you, all the while giving special privileges to people with automobiles? I didn’t think so.

Scientists have perfected a method that allows mammals such as rabbits to live for up to thirty minutes without taking a single breath. They achieved this unbelievable feat by injecting oxygen filled microparticles directly into the blood.

Up until now, we’ve relied on our lungs to oxygenate our blood; this new method uses a syringe to do the same, sustaining life for a length of time unsurpassed in human history.
