# s-nanotech: displayed by an electronic tattoo

<< A new temporary "electronic tattoo" (..)  that can measure the activity of muscle and nerve cells (..) is poised to revolutionize medicine, rehabilitation, and even business and marketing research. >>

<< The tattoo consists of a carbon electrode, an adhesive surface that attaches to the skin, and a nanotechnology-based conductive polymer coating that enhances the electrode's performance. It records a strong, steady signal for hours on end without irritating the skin. >>

<< The electrode (..)  may improve the therapeutic restorationof damaged nerves and tissue -- and may even lead to new insights into our emotional life. >>

# s-phys: "entanglement entropy of a qubit", the begin ...

<< All systems are fundamentally quantum systems (..) but the means of describing in a quantum sense the chaotic behavior of, say, air molecules in an evacuated room, remains limited >>

<< To investigate, [AA] devised an experiment using three quantum bits, the basic computational units of the quantum computer >>

<< By manipulating these qubits with electronic pulses, [AA] caused them to interact, rotate and evolve in the quantum analog of a highly sensitive classical [chaotic] system >>

<< The result is a map of entanglement entropy of a qubit that, over time, comes to strongly resemble that of classical dynamics — the regions of entanglement in the quantum map resemble the regions of chaos on the classical map >>

# e-sec: brainjacking in medical implants

<< Here  are  some  real  examples  of  what  can  be  achieved  if  you  have  access  to  somebody’s  DBS [Deep Brain Stimulation] electrodes.  You  can  induce  mania,  hypersexuality,  and  even  pathological  gambling.  You  can modify  emotions.  Patients  undergoing  DBS  therapy  have  sometimes  experienced  pathological crying  and  inappropriate  laughter,  "likely  due  to  off-target  stimulation,"  says  the  paper.  Strong sensations  of  fear  and  panic  have  also  been  observed. >>

<< The man who accurately predicted four market crashes to the exact date each time has told Business Insider about three more dates to worry about. >>

<< He now warns that the following dates spell trouble for the Dow Jones in the US that could spread to other markets.

1. Between August 26 and August 30, 2016.
2. September 26, 2016.
3. October 20, 2016. >>
