Colored scanning electron  micrograph (SEM) of sensory hair cells from the organ of corti, in the  cochlea of the inner ear. These cells are surrounded by a fluid called  the endolymph. As sound enters the ear it causes waves to form in the  endolymph, which in turn cause these hairs to move. The movement is  converted into an electrical signal, which is passed to the brain. The  V-shaped arrangement of hairs lies on the top of a single cell.  Magnification: x21,000 when printed 10cm wide.<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img821/8343/36585779.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Brain Array Here, microwires emerging from the green and orange tubes connect to two  arrays of 16 microelectrodes. Each array is embedded in a small mat of  clear, rubbery silicone. The mats are barely visible in this image.  These microelectrode arrays sit on the brain without penetrating it, a  step toward longer-lived, less invasive versions of "neural interfaces"  that in recent experiments elsewhere have allowed paralyzed people to  control a computer cursor with their thoughts. The new microelectrode  arrays were placed in two patients at the University of Utah who already  were undergoing brain surgery for severe epilepsy. The larger,  numbered, metallic electrodes are used to locate the source of epileptic  seizures in the brain, so the patients allowed the microelectrodes to  be placed on their brains at the same time.<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img821/7786/92587102.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rescue BotRobo-Q,  rescue robot of the Tokyo Fire Department, collects a mock injured man  during an anti-terrorism exercise conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan  Government at Tokyo Big Sight on November 7, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan. The  rescue robot is designed to collect humans from environments dangerous  to firefighters. The first anti-RDD (radiological dispersal device)  terrorism field training exercise on the local government level in Japan  is being held to improve management abilities on RDD or 'dirty bomb'  attack cases by using the latest equipment, facilities and vehicles<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img827/3555/19516574.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />CCTV Tower in BeijingCCTV's new headquarters in Beijing, wears its  engineering on its sleeve. So complex is this 768-foot-tall  anti-skyscraper that the architects, the Netherlands-based Office of  Metropolitan Architecture, chose to show off the structural seams for  visual effect.The building is a continuous loop (resembling a twisted doughnut to  some, "big shorts" to others), a shape that would normally be too stiff  to stand up against the region's famously epic earthquakes. Inventive  engineering provides the solution<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img201/258/99846603.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Ares Rocket Engine TestOn Sept. 10, 2009, NASA lit up the Utah sky with the  initial full-scale, full-duration test firing of the first stage motor  for the Ares I rocket. The 154-foot solid rocket motor produced heat  two-thirds the temperature of the sun and its 12-foot-diameter cylinder  delivered 3.6 million pounds of thrust.<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img201/5568/43492227.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Robo-ThespiansHumanoid robots produced by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy  Industry, named Momoko (R) and Takeo (L) take part in a drama for the  world's first robot and human experimental theatre, written and directed  by Japanese playwright Oriza Hirata at Japan's Osaka University in  Osaka, western Japan on November 25, 2008. The 20-minute performance was  put on display for the media ahead of a possible run for the public  next year.<img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img340/8454/50037815.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Robotic Jellyfish Swimming around in their tank, these autonomous robotic jellyfish move  alone or in a swarm and communicate with their brethren to avoid  underwater collisions. Developed by German industrial-automation company  Festo as an attention-grabbing experiment in cooperative robotics, each  AquaJelly uses eight bendable “tentacles” to propel itself forward. But  the AquaJelly does more than swim around and look pretty. Each is  coated with conductive metal paint that draws the robot to a nearby  charging station. It also has LED illumination, integrated pressure,  light and radio sensors, and 11 infrared light-emitting diodes used for  jelly-to-jelly communication.Above water, the robots use a short-range radio system to signal to one  another that a charging station is occupied. Markus Fischer, the head of  corporate design at Festo, hopes the AquaJelly will lead to a robotic  workforce that can adapt to complicated tasks. Whereas today’s robot  assembly lines can produce only a single product, “there is a  possibility that [someday] several autonomous robots will work together  and produce personalized products.” <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img571/3333/4jpg.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />ATHLETE Space Rovers Practicing in California Two All-Terrain Hex-Legged Extra-Terrestrial Explorer (ATHLETE) rovers  traverse the desert terrain adjacent to Dumont Dunes, CA. The ATHLETE  rovers are being built to be capable of rolling over Apollo-like  undulating terrain and "walking" over extremely rough or steep terrain  for future lunar missions <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img340/9346/51035794.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Laser Pulses Shoot Across Space to the LRO NASA Goddard's Laser Ranging Facility hits the LRO in stride 28 times  per second across a quarter million miles of space.
