The Mona Lisa is quite the famous painting and has been reproduced on multiple occasions by tons of different artists. However, I doubt you have seen a re-imagining quite like this one. More here.
Now that the random garbage is out of the way, something that I feel is a wonderful break through. It seems a team has been developing a prostetic hand that can feel. It has 40 sensors along the hand, and these sensors are wired into the nerves of an amputee’s arm. It looks as though…
