Scientists Discover Enzyme That Can Turn Air Into Electricity

Posted by in categories: energy, sustainability, transportation

In an exciting turn for the field of sustainable energy research, Australian scientists have found a way to make energy out of thin air. Literally.

As detailed in a new study published this week in the journal Nature, researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia discovered a new bacterial enzyme that transforms the traces of hydrogen in our atmosphere into electricity, technology that could one day be used in fuel cells that power anything from a smartwatch to even a car.

“We’ve known for some time that bacteria can use the trace hydrogen in the air as a source of energy to help them grow and survive, including in Antarctic soils, volcanic craters, and the deep ocean,” said Professor Chris Greening, a contributor to the study, in a statement.

Thank you for watching my video about Elon Musks Neuralink! If you liked it, please consider subscribing! Have a great day. #neuralink #elonmusk.

Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 with the goal of.
merging the human brain with artificial intelligence. The company aims to develop a.
brain-machine interface that will enable humans to communicate with computers and other.
devices directly through their thoughts. Neuralink’s ultimate vision is to create a symbiotic.
relationship between humans and AI, where the brain and the computer work together to.
enhance human capabilities. While there is a huge potential in this field, it could also turn out.
to be extremely dangerous. Here’s why.

Beam me up, Proto! NBC’s “California Live” uses patented Proto hologram tech

Posted by in categories: holograms, innovation

We showcase the Proto infinity wall, the Proto Epic, and the Proto M. Watch and enjoy, or else.

None of this happens without the entire team at Proto. The Protopians are made up of world class engineers, salespeople, resellers, investors, producers, developers, and partners. Without them, Proto is just a good idea. They’re the people who actually make these innovations happen.

Detoxing body of two fat by-products could extend lifespan, researchers discover

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

University of Virginia scientists have identified a promising approach to delay aging by detoxifying the body of glycerol and glyceraldehyde, harmful by-products of fat that naturally accumulate over time.

The new findings come from UVA researcher Eyleen Jorgelina O’Rourke, Ph.D., and her team, who are seeking to identify the mechanisms driving healthy aging and longevity. Their new work suggests a potential way to do so by reducing glycerol and glyceraldehyde’s health-draining effects.

“The discovery was unexpected. We went after a very well-supported hypothesis that the secret to longevity was the activation of a cell-rejuvenating process named autophagy and ended up finding an unrecognized mechanism of health and lifespan extension,” said O’Rourke, of UVA’s Department of Biology and the UVA School of Medicine’s Department of Cell Biology.

An Overview of in Vitro Biological Neural Networks for Robot Intelligence

Posted by in categories: biological, robotics/AI

In vitro biological neural networks (BNNs) interconnected with robots, so-called BNN-based neurorobotic systems, can interact with the external world, so that they can present some preliminary intelligent behaviors, including learning, memory, robot control, etc.

This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intelligent behaviors presented by the BNN-based neurorobotic systems, with a particular focus on those related to robot intelligence.

In this work, we first introduce the necessary biological background to understand the 2 characteristics of the BNNs: nonlinear computing capacity and network plasticity. Then, we describe the typical architecture of the BNN-based neurorobotic systems and outline the mainstream techniques to realize such an architecture from 2 aspects: from robots to BNNs and from BNNs to robots.
