In this 1987 cartoon by Bulgarian artist Milen Radev, an engineer operates a wireless remote control to command a towering robot— but the robot's mechanical hands grip puppet strings attached directly to the engineer himself. Who's really in control? The image appeared in...
You might hide your bout of acute stress from human observers, but thermal imaging cameras won't be fooled: our noses cool sharply when we're under pressure, the result of our bodies altering blood flow to the face. Scientists have discovered that the drop in temperature...
