The last moments before the brain part excision...

The photo depicts a California prisoner, 1961, being prepared for a frontal lobotomy (amputation of the frontal lobe of the brain).

Such a procedure was often applied to people whose actions were considered immoral by society.

This is how the state tried to control problem groups such as racial minorities and homosexuals.

The most devastating magnetic storm of the 20th century: the Quebec Blackout

From March 5 to March 19, 1989, an active region passed across the Sun's disk, generating 11 X-ray flares and plasma emissions.

On March 13, the matter of two of the outbursts reached Earth and produced a powerful geomagnetic storm as a reminder to humans who rules the cosmic weather.

Self-driving delivery vehicles are operating on the U.S. roads

The startup, called Nuro, was founded by two former Google engineers in 2016. It is an autonomous grocery delivery system that was fully designed and tested in Arizona in just two years.

And now the company is receiving all the necessary permits from the Department of Transportation for mass use in several California counties.

The service will start with Toyota Priuses converted into autonomous vehicles, and later the company will switch to the R2 robot cars that are shown in the video.

Nissan has developed the GTR-X concept car, a rolling exoskeleton of the future

GTR-X cannot be built in a conditional "tomorrow", but it is an excellent visualization of how young professionals see the future and what technologies need to be developed to realize it.

The car itself, as conceived by the designer, is an exoskeleton designed to move a person along public roads. This is not a car or a transport platform, but something like a spacesuit.

The GTR-X concept car was constructed around the human body. To slip inside, drivers will pop the GTR-X's top, and lie flat on their belly — a position ideal for low-drag aerodynamics.
