DIY mind-powered synthesiser demonstrated
Robert Schneider is the frontman of US indie-rock act Apples in Stereo, and producer of a clutch of amazing bands centred around his own Elephant 6 record company. But in his spare time, he loves mucking about with synthesisers.
In the video above, Schneider's hooked up a Moog MG-1 analogue synthesiser to a Mattel MindFlex -- a toy that uses EEG sensors to generate an output. The result is pretty incredible -- controlling a synthesiser with your mind.

UK's chief eco scientist urges emissions honesty
The UK government's top environmental scientist has issued a call for greater openness in the country's greenhouse gas emissions, claiming that they've risen significantly.
If you take emissions by their strictest definition -- gases that have been emitted within Britain -- then they've decreased about 16 percent since 1990. However, the reality is that Britain's imports have increased significantly, and developing countries like China and India are producing goods and services that were once manufactured in Britain.

'Star guts' pour out of decaying supernova
NASA's newly refurbished Hubble Space Telescope has been sending back some intriguing images lately, including one that shows a glowing gas ring encircling a remnant of a supernova.
A team at the University of Colorado in Boulder has been analysing the data captured by the telescope to try and determine the velocity and composition of the "star guts" that are being emitted by the supernova following its collapse. The supernova in question is known as 1987A, and it's the closest to Earth to have been discovered since 1604.

TEDGlobal 2010: Wired's highlights
TEDGlobal is over for 2010, but the memories forged in our connectomes remain. Over the course of a week, nearly a hundred people shared their ideas about how to make the world a better place. While there were very few dud talks, there were some in particular that stood out as more inspiring than all the others.
Matt Ridley's talk about "Ideas Having Sex" was one of the most influential at the conference, with several subsequent presentations referencing it. He discussed how population growth has been the driving factor behind humanity's development, because connections between people lead to inspiration. When people are cut off from this network, it doesn't just slow progress, it can even reverse it.

World?s largest tidal turbine swims in Scottish waters
Last week, the Atlantis Resources Corporation successfully deployed the world’s largest tidal turbine, the AK1000, in 35 meters of water at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, Scotland.
A stretch of ocean off the North coast of Scotland, the Pentland Firth is often referred to as the “Saudi Arabia of tidal power”, due to its massively powerful current and enormous potential for generating electricity.
