In 1980, when Iran and Iraq went to war, the Revolutionary Guard acted as human waves in some of the toughest battles.
Indeed, how else to explain why Honda has studied the maddeningly evasive cockroach (for anticollision technology), decoded the rice genome (to increase crop yields and create more-productive crops for biofuels) and developed a robot that can get instructions by reading human brain waves (to learn how machines and humans can better coexist).
Self-adhesive electronics devices thinner than the diameter of a human hair can monitor the human heart, brain waves and muscle activity.
On the other hand, Cowen did not include on his list of low-hanging fruit harvested these past centuries the waves of financial and human capital that America attracted (and the rest of the world repelled).
Indeed, some at the meeting argued that if aliens were to use an astronomical phenomenon called gravitational lensing (in which the gravitational field of the sun bends and amplifies radio waves and light from Earth), human signals could be amplified to the point where even the light from cities would be visible.
ECONOMIST: An argument over whether to send messages to aliens
In the first half, WALL-E, a robotic trash collector and compactor, continues to go about his duties after the human presence has been blown away from Earth by billowing waves of noxious dust.
It would seem that the various tectonic collapses deep in the structure of our economic and political systems have triggered waves of kinetic energy which are rolling through human populations rather than through their usual medium of seawater.
Agarwal is in the early stages of further research that can model the human body's role in protecting from radio-frequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones.
HSS, by contrast, shoots tightly focused waves of ultrasound (meaning it exceeds the frequency range of human hearing).
The problem is that the intensity of the radio waves needed to charge mobile phones and laptop computers over long distances might be hazardous to human health, and regulators would be unlikely to approve.
