So it’s easy to understand why many of the operational details of humans’ brains (and even the brains of mice and much simpler organisms) remain so mysterious, even to neuroscientists. The brain is essentially an electrical organ, and that fact plus its gelatinous consistency pose a hard technological problem.

is hoping to launch the Volt in late 2010 with a price tag of about $40,000. Hyundai will in months offer 2 models that will leap frog toyota and honda by years - it will be based on a lithium POLYMER battery thats lighter, cheaper, and maintains charge many times longer than NiCad batteries and all at a price half that of Volt.
