...this kind of anatomical extension, Nicolelis is creating a feedback loop between the monkeys and the robotic arm. In the next experiments the monkeys will have sensors attached to their bodies, so that the robotic arm delivers tactile sensations directly to their skin.

Fuel costs began to skyrocket last March when the group implemented a 7.5 percent cut in crude oil production that was also respected by nonmember oil-producing nations. The Clinton administration has been hands-off until now, saying it'd let the market self-adjust, but prices have just hit a nine-year high - with American emergency crude oil stores at a 25-year...
