Voyager 1 embarks on historic journey into interstellar space
"NASA‘s Voyager 1 spacecraft is now officially the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The 36-year-old probe is about 12 billion miles (19 billion kilometers) from our sun.
New and unexpected data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars. Voyager is in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, where some effects from our sun are still evident." Kurzweil.AI News.

SECURITY: "Nymi wristband uses your heartbeat as a password" (GIZMAG)
"If someone says that they want to steal your heart, be careful. They may
be trying to get into your computer files. The Toronto-based biometrics
company Bionym wants to replace old-fashioned passwords with Nymi; a
bracelet that uses the wearer’s heartbeat in place of passwords.
According to the developers, the system delivers a secure and convenient
means of identification that also provides the potential to control
devices using gestures." (David Szondy, GIZMAG)

SPACE: SpaceFab: 3D printing and robotic assembly in space
"SpiderFab, a series of technologies under development by Tethers
Unlimited, Inc. (TUI), combines 3D printing and robotic assembly to
build and create spaceship components and structures in orbit. The
groundbreaking systems are being designed to enable on-orbit
construction of antennas, booms, solar arrays, trusses and other
multifunctional components, ten to hundreds of times larger than
currently possible with existing technology".
