We’ve all heard the old saying, “Money is what makes the world go round.” And while the monetary system is still relevant today, its role and distinction have diminished quite significantly in the pursuit of overwhelming abundance. In today’s world, convenience has become the ultimate product.
A new world is emerging thanks to the technological revolution being waged by a base of consumers who dream of a future where scarcity no longer exists.
DIYers can bioprint living human organs by modifying an off-the-shelf 3D printer costing about $500, announce researchers who published the plans as open source, enabling anyone to build their own system. [This article first appeared on LongevityFacts. Author: Brady Hartman. ]
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) developed a low-cost 3D bioprinter to print living tissue by modifying a standard desktop 3D printer and released the design as open source so that anyone can build their own system.
The biomedical engineering team led by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Associate Professor Adam Feinberg, Ph.D., BME postdoctoral fellow TJ Hinton, Ph.D. just published a paper in the journal HardwareX describing a low-cost 3D bioprinter. The article contains complete instructions for modifying nearly any commercial plastic printer, as well as printing and installing the syringe-based, large volume extruder.
In brief: An implantable cancer vaccine from Harvard has shown promising results in mice, and researchers are testing it in a clinical trial on humans. [This article first appeared on LongevityFacts. Author: Brady Hartman. ]
An implantable cancer vaccine being tested on patients by Harvard’s Wyss Institute is a new type of immunotherapy that holds promise to treat a wide range of cancers such as melanoma, as well as auto-immune conditions and infectious diseases. The aspirin-sized implant is made of a polymer scaffold containing growth factors and tissue samples from a patient’s tumors which trains a patient’s immune system to search and destroy cancer cells.
Harvard’s cancer vaccine is approaching the end of clinical testing, promising to be available 4 or 5 years sooner than Stanford’s vaccine with its 97% cure rate.
S cientists have warned against the risks of intensive IVF treatment as research suggests it increases the risk of heart disease in children.
The “high stimulation” method, where powerful drugs are used to stimulate egg production, is a commonly used practise in British fertility clinics.
But experts are now claiming there is growing evidence the treatment can result in offspring with higher blood pressure and thicker arteries than normal.
Many great ideas in this article!
For the last few years, Goodyear has rolled into the Geneva Motor Show with new tire designs that could be described as intriguing concepts at best and crazy, outlandish ideas at worst. Either way, they do provoke thought around the future of transport and this year’s rendition is no different, hiding living moss inside the sidewall to cleanse the surrounding air as the car rolls down the road.
WE ARE THE UNIVERSE BECOMING CONSCIOUS OF ITSELF!
Science and technology have relatively bridged the gap between man and the universe throughout the history of time. Yet there remains a lot more to be discovered.
From theories explaining gravity to establishing atoms as the building blocks of all matter, scientific developments have come a long way to introduce man into the hidden truths of the world.
SpotMini attends MIT 6.S099: Artificial General Intelligence https://agi.mit.edu Thanks to our friend from Boston Dynamics for the visit. Notes: There’s no audio. SpotMini’s movements are not sped up. All were performed live in front of a packed house of students. It was amazing to witness in person.
