Brenna took all this in silently.
A company called Magcap Engineering has developed a way to draw electrical power from trees. Some quotes: Basically, the existing system includes a metal rod embedded in the tree, a grounding rod driven into the ground, and the connecting circuitry, which filters and boosts the power output sufficient to charge a battery. In its current …

European scientists have developed a working interface between neurons (brain cells) and silicon chips. The ultimate applications are potentially limitless. In the long term it will possibly enable the creation of very sophisticated neural prostheses to combat neurological disorders. What’s more, it could allow the creation of organic computers that use living neurons as their …
