In their experiment — pictured above — they had a cat step halfway over a small barrier, at which point they distracted it with food. But then they repeated the experiment with a twist. As a story by Henry Fountain in today’s New York Times notes: “The movement of the forelegs does something unusual,” Mr. I wonder how to what extent our brains work the same way. <a href="

Drive A Car 500 Miles on 5 Minutes of Electricity? | Inventor Sp The greatest challenge facing the electric car industry is battery storage. But a small, reclusive start-up company in Austin, Texas shows signs to be designing a car that can plug in for 5 minutes and drive 500 miles. Zenn Electric CarIn a recent patent, EEStor claims to be making "technologies for replacement of electrochemical batteries." The details of the patent far exceed the abilities of current research in batteries for electric cars, which usually require overnight charging and provide about 50 miles of driving. In fact, it's widely thought that most electric cars will be hybrids with combustion engines for extra power, even in the future. Compared with the current state of things, EEStor's technology seems too good to be true--and many skeptics fear it is. The uncertainty didn't stop Toronto-based ZENN Motor Co. from buying the rights to EEStor's technology in 2005. Lisa Zyga Science BloggerInventor Spot
