At 818 meters (2,684 ft), the Burj Dubai is the tallest structure humans have ever built. And it takes an even braver human to mount the top of spire and stick his video camera over the ledge.

Culturing brain material and plugging it into robots, or "animats" as they are known. Rise of the rat-brained robots. This is no ordinary robot control system - a plain old microchip connected to a circuit board. Instead, the controller nestles inside a small pot containing a pink broth of nutrients and antibiotics. Inside that pot, some 300,000 rat neurons have made - and continue to make - connections with each other. To create the "brain", the neural cortex from a rat fetus is surgically removed and disassociating enzymes applied to it to disconnect the neurons from each other. The researchers then deposit a slim layer of these isolated neurons into a nutrient-rich medium on a bank of electrodes, where they start reconnecting. They do this by growing projections that reach out to touch the neighbouring neurons. "It's just fascinating that they do this," says Steve Potter of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who pioneered the field of neurally controlled animats. "Clearly brain cells have evo

IBM's Blue Gene Supercomputer Models Cat's Entire Brain. 144 terabytes, 1 billion neurons, 10 trillion synapses. Simulated brain still runs about 100 times slower than the real thing. Research group hopes to simulate a human brain within 10 years.

The Singularity Is Near. Future for Artificial Intelligence. Point in time when humans lose control and understanding of technological and scientific progress, thus of their destiny. Scientists in Israel have developed tiny robots to crawl through blood vessels attacking cancers, and labs in the United States are working on similar technology. These robots will grow smaller and more capable. One day, intelligent nanorobots may be integrated into our bodies to clear arteries and rebuild failing organs, communicating with each other and the outside world via a ?cloud? network. Tiny bots might attach themselves to neurons in the brain and add their processing power?and that of other computers in the cloud?to ours, giving us mental resources that would dwarf anything available now. By stimulating the optic, auditory or tactile nerves, such nanobots might be able to simulate vision, hearing or touch, providing ?augmented reality? overlays identifying street names, helping with face recognition or telling us how t

The Cyborg Beetle - remotely controlling the flight of beetles. Attaching radio antennas and embedding electrodes in the insects' optic lobes, flight muscles and brains. manipulate subjects into taking off, hovering in midair and turning on command. The trick? Wirelessly delivering jolts to a microbattery fastened to a circuit board atop the hapless insects
