The printing nozzle follows a predefined trajectory, depositing liquid silicone in its wake. The liquid silicone is supported by the micro-organogel material during this printing process. University of Florida (UF) researchers have developed a method for 3D printing soft-silicone medical implants that are … [more…]( [Virtual-reality therapy found effective for treating phobias and PTSD]( May 14, 2017 [Bravemind]( Virtual reality (VR) technology can be an effective part of treatment for phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in combat veterans, and other mental health conditions, according to an open-access research review in the May/June issue of the Harvard Review of Psychiatry. “VR-based exposure therapy” (VRE) has been found effective for treating panic disorder, schizophrenia, acute and … [more…]( New EVENTS [iot-world-logo]( [Internet of Things World 2017]( Dates: May 16 – 18, 2017 Location: Santa Clara, California [more...]( [moneyconf-logo]( [MoneyConf]( Dates: Jun 6 – 7, 2017 Location: Madrid, Spain [more...]( New books [Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe]( author | Roger Penrose [fashion-faith-and-fantasy-cover]( What can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoretical physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or flights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and bestselling author Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are … [more…]( [Fat for Fuel: A Revolutionary Diet to Combat Cancer, Boost Brain Power, and Increase Your Energy]( author | Dr. Joseph Mercola [fat-for-fuel-cover]( For over a century, we’ve accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if cancer isn’t a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and cancer isn’t a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result … [more…]( [Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies]( author | Geoffrey West [scale-cover]( West, a theoretical physicist and former president of the Santa Fe Institute, argues in this dense yet accessible work that there are simple laws that underlie all complex systems, whether organic entities or human constructs. Animals, plants, economies, cultures, cities, and companies are united by the fact that they come into existence, grow, mature, and … [more…]( [Visit]( [KurzweilAI.net]( You are currently subscribed to the KurzweilAI.net newsletter as {EMAIL} To unsubscribe, please [click here](.
