This Working Bionic Hand Is Made from a Keurig Coffee Maker
It turns out that Keurig coffee maker on your kitchen counter can be used for so much more than just making you a hot cup of joe. Just ask Evan Booth, who created Hedberg, a real working bionic hand made almost entirely out of the parts of a disassembled Keurig 2.0 K350 Coffee Maker.
It took Evan about 200 hours to build it. Those 200 hours have been condensed into a 5-minute time-lapse that shows us all of the work he did. It isn’t the prettiest bionic hand we’ve ever seen, but it works.
It makes you wonder what other cool things you could build from a simple coffee maker. BRB. I have to go take mine apart.

Brain-machine link helps you steer exoskeletons with your mind
Right now, mind-controlling a machine isn't pretty: you typically wear a silly cap or headset, or else subject yourself to open brain surgery to get a deeper link. Australian scientists might have a better way, though. They've developed a brain-mac...
