ONE in 50 people could be at risk of a new type of genetic dementia, according to a study.

Researchers found people carrying two copies of the APOE4 gene mutation are “almost guaranteed” to develop Alzheimer’s in old age.

Ohh nice! New vaccine science it seems though I’m not familiar with vaccines, this does seem like a novel approach. It’s kinda future proof to train the immune system to target proteins that are shared across all coronavirus’ I’m hoping it provides, as do they, that it provides a better solution than current vaccines.

The vaccine is made by attaching harmless proteins from different coronaviruses to minuscule nanoparticles that are then injected to prime the body’s defences to fight the viruses should they ever invade.

Because the vaccine trains the immune system to target proteins that are shared across many different types of coronavirus, the protection it induces is extremely broad, making it effective against known and unknown viruses in the same family.

Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper-folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.

American writer Meghan O’Gieblyn on when the mind is alive.

A demonstration flight with a Cessna Caravan in the USA has shown how automatic control and remote pilot supervision can work in tandem.

From the Statue of Zeus at Olympia to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, AI recreated the seven wonders of the ancient world.

The AI of the future won’t just be a chatbot — it’ll be, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, outfitted with incredibly detailed information about its users.

In an interview with the MIT Technology Review, Altman suggested that AI should be working for its users harder than even the hardest-working human executive assistant, and would know absolutely everything about whoever is using it.

Speaking to the magazine between a series of events at Harvard, which were hosted in part by the venture capital firm Xfund, the OpenAI cofounder said that the best use of AI would be a “super-competent colleague that knows absolutely everything about my whole life, every email, every conversation I’ve ever had, but doesn’t feel like an extension.”
