Star Trek Today: LCARS in the house

Today we received a YouTube video that we do not want to withhold from you. The video is a little older, namely 12 years old, so some of you may know it. It was published by Daniel Springwald and embodies exactly the spirit of "Star Trek Today". Mr. Springwald has done a remarkable job that deserves the highest respect. Better implementation of LCARSDesign and functionality is hard to find. He also publishes his work on his homepage "http://www.springwald.de/lcarshome". Have fun with the video!

Researchers at the Swiss Technical University ETH Zurich have succeeded in building a miniature medical robot out of metal and plastic using 3D lithography. The resulting robot constructions are no more than a quarter of a millimeter long and can be controlled by a magnetic field in medical applications.
