Elon Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink appears to be gearing up to launch its first-ever human trials, with the firm now looking to recruit a director to run the tests.

According to The Guardian, the entrepreneur, who owns a variety of science-based start-ups, is preparing to take Neuralink’s brain chip research to the next stage by hiring a mission-driven Clinical Trial Director to begin human testing. The company is moving toward potentially finding a way to use the technology to treat people with brain and spinal injuries.

Stroke is the world’s second-leading cause of death. Survivors may suffer brain damage that causes severe impairments in motor, language or other abilities. Japanese doctors have spent years developing a treatment that regenerates the brain using the patient’s own cells. Clinical trials are underway. A participant who had complete paralysis on one side of her body can now walk. The treatment takes stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow and injects it directly into the brain.

The race to engineer the next-generation banana is on. The Colombian government confirmed last month that a banana-killing fungus has invaded the Americas — the source of much of the world’s banana supply. The invasion has given new urgency to efforts to create fruit that can withstand the scourge.

Scientists are using a mix of approaches to save the banana. A team in Australia has inserted a gene from wild bananas into the top commercial variety — known as the Cavendish — and are currently testing these modified bananas in field trials. Researchers are also turning to the powerful, precise gene-editing tool CRISPR to boost the Cavendish’s resilience against the fungus, known as Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4).

From the home to the workplace, and to the sky above, robots in 2022 are transforming the world we know —and helping us understand the worlds we don’t. Let’s highlight a few of these remarkable machines and how they might transform not only how we interact with ourselves, but also the universe around us. We will take about the following robots: Mars Perseverance & Ingenuity, Moley the Robotic Chef, Toyota’s Robotic Butler, Spot by Boston Dynamics, Digit by Agility Robotics, Atlas by Boston Dynamics, Guardian XO Exoskeleton, Vicarious Medical Robot, British loyal wingman and Xenobots!

Some people are accusing Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and other rich tech guys, such as Elon Musk, to be building “The Matrix” for suggesting artificial wombs could ease the pregnancy on women.

A combination of vaccination and natural infection seems to offer enhanced immunity across variants.
