Scientists Have Discovered A ‘Chemical Cocktail’ That Reverses Ageing

This kind of research will likely result in a lot of fringe benefits, but if we look at the affordability of healthcare for the average guy, we have to wonder who will benefit the most. Does the world really need another two hundred years of Mark Zuckerberg and the Kardashians?
University Professor ‘Cracks Time Travel’, Wants To Go Back To 1955 And Save His Dad

It’s Never Too Late – The Average Age Of Startup Founders Will Surprise You

If your twenties have long gone, and you’re feeling a little bit down because you weren’t able to get your business going, we have some good news.
Deal With It: These Robots Can Assemble Themselves [VIDEO]

Robots’ natural enemies are stairs. Climbing up and down stairs is something we as humans have pretty much mastered, but robots are finding it a touch more difficult. These M-Blocks, created by the brainiacs at MIT, would have no problem with stairs though. These modular robots can jump though the air, catch onto each other, spin and roll around to form new shapes, all with no external moving parts.
Scientists Have Just Invented Inception-Style Memory Implantation

This is a little scary. The first artificially implanted memories have been created by neuroscientists at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Finally – The Stuck Ketchup Problem, Solved [VIDEO]
It’s taken months of research and some of America’s brightest minds to figure it out, but now it seems the end of tomato sauce frustration is nigh. A new bottle coating developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) doctoral candidate Dave Smith, together with a team of mechanical engineers and nanotechnology researchers, has ketchup flowing like milk.
Hello, Future: Move Files Across Devices With A Swipe [VIDEO]
People over at MIT have developed a piece of open-source software that lets you drag files from your phone to your computer or tablet or whatever with a swipe of a finger. It’s simple and clever and looks like the future – and it works. They’re calling it Swÿp. Take a look at the demo after the jump.
Real Life X-Ray Specs Developed At MIT [VIDEO]
Okay, not quite X-Ray specs, but definitely a leap forward in covert surveillance technology. Watch these hot science geeks show off a new type of radar they’ve cooked up that can detect objects moving through 20 cm thick concrete walls.
Robot Wallets
Paying things with cards is weird for me. I mean obviously the convenience of having a plastic card that gets me stuff is great – I got to take advantage of the Threadless sale, for instance – but without that tangible sense of loss at having to fork over a wad of cash, there is the risk of going overboard is substantial. Folks at MIT have some ideas about that.
