Scientists’ Come Up With New Strategy for Fight Global Warming; Dim the Sun
Scientists have come up with a new and ingenious way of fighting global warming: use chemicals to blot out the sun. Whether we’ll then have to fight (and do everything else) in the shade, the research doesn’t quite spell out. Since the world can’t seen to agree on reducing CO2 emissions, why not tackle the problem from the other end, … Continue reading
First Ever Gene Edited Babies Born in China
Scientists hoping to make children immune to HIV have produced the first ever genetically edited babies. According to reports, an HIV-positive woman in China has given birth to two baby girls who had undergone gene editing in an effort to prevent them from contracting the disease. The experiment, which involved using the CRISPR gene editing technique, has yet to be … Continue reading
China Creates Nuclear-Powered Artificial Sun that is Hotter Than the Real Star
Whenever I see this type of experiment carried out, successfully or not, I always think of how this could easily go so wrong for all of us. via RT: Chinese researchers pushing to find a major clean energy source have created an incredible artificial sun that can reach temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius – a heat so intense it … Continue reading
UK Unions Voice Concern over Prospect to Implant Employees with Microchips
Trades Union Congress concerned over tech being used to control and micromanage Britain’s biggest employer organisation and main trade union body have sounded the alarm over the prospect of British companies implanting staff with microchips to improve security. UK firm BioTeq, which offers the implants to businesses and individuals, has already fitted 150 implants in the UK. The tiny chips, … Continue reading
Walls Will Not Stop AI from Being Able to Track You
Think you can hide from AI behind closed doors.. nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! via unexplained-mysteries: Scientists have used radio signals as well as an artificial intelligence to track individuals through solid walls. The remarkable new system is able to produce a skeleton-like visualisation of someone moving around behind a wall by using radio waves to build up a … Continue reading
Next Generation of Warfare Might be Fought With Genetically Engineered Viruses
A very scary possibility. Perhaps it has already begun?! via RT: Many technologies have dual use potential and can be applied to either civilian or defense projects, depending on the intent of those in charge. German rocket technology led to the creation of V2 ballistic missiles in WW2 and later enabled the US to launch space exploration missions in the latter half … Continue reading
Experimental Drug Cocktail Almost Doubles Lifespan in Animals Test Subjects
Pioneering research into anti-ageing mechanisms in animals has almost doubled the lifespan of the test subjects used in the experiments. A team of scientists in Singapore tried experimental combinations of different compounds on the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, and found that cocktails made up of already existing drugs could both slow the effects of ageing and significantly boost the animals’ longevity. “We … Continue reading
‘Qantum Artificial Life’ Created for the First Time Using Quantum Computers
For the first time, an international team of researchers has used a quantum computer to create artificial life—a simulation of living organisms that scientists can use to understand life at the level of whole populations all the way down to cellular interactions. With the quantum computer, individual living organisms represented at a microscopic level with superconducting qubits were made to … Continue reading
Google is Shutting Down Google+ Following Data Breach Which They Kept from Users
Google is closing the Google+ social network after an error exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users last spring, in an incident which the company never disclosed to those affected. Google put the “final nail in the coffin” of the Google+ product by shutting down “all consumer functionality,” the Wall Street Journal reported citing an internal memo. … Continue reading
Multi-Person Brain-to-Brain Communication Successfully Achieved, Says New Study
For the first time in history multi-person brain-to-brain communication has not only been proven, but quantified in a clinical setting. A team of scientists from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Washington published their findings in the “pre-print server” arXiv owned by Cornell University, which means it has been published after moderation but not yet approved for a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The experiment itself … Continue reading
