Voice-over: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Item #1: French scientists have developed a total artificial heart that changes its beating in response to changes in blood pressure and physical activity, with a study patient surviving more than two years with the device.[6]
Item #2: A new analysis of the theropod dinosaur, Allosaurus, the largest meat-eater of its time, concludes that it was likely a scavenger.[7]
Item #3: Physicists have developed a laser beam that is visible even in a vacuum and in the visible light spectrum.[8]
