As we begin to question our biological roles during a non-biological (transhuman) era, will the role of pain remain as our sole method of detecting physical trauma or will it be replaced by a more efficient technological alternative?

Provides some hints what hurdles would be to tackle to do excursions on Mars; also provides a lot of illustrative info about the planet.

But when it comes to STDs, it’s really the least of your worries.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of planetary nebula NGC 3918, which is a part of the Centaurus constellation about 4,900 light-years from Earth, according to NASA.

Between the lines: A planetary nebula is a cloud of colorful gasses which surrounds a dying star — known as a red giant, according to NASA. The remnants of the star give off the light, which reflects in the gasses and creates the beautiful, dramatic colors seen in the photo.

Space.

Dinosaurs may have their DNA to thank for why they stuck around so long on Earth.

How 5G Will Change The World! https://www.facebook.com/singularityprosperity/videos/438504459964467/

In this video, we’ll be discussing 5G – more specifically, what it is and its ability to change our world!

5G is a core technology in establishing the digital infrastructure of the future and will be essential in how all of the over 50 billion mobile and connected devices by 2020 will communicate together!

There are countless nanoscopic architectures in nature, creating iridescence, sticky feet, magnetic navigation – and more.

Engineering nanoparticles can be extremely beneficial for many applications. However, this article discusses in what ways nanotechnology needs to be regulated due to the environmental impacts it can have in areas such as agriculture.

The algorithm is saving about $10 million as part of an effort to replace the city’s water infrastructure.

To catch you up: In 2014, Flint began getting water from Flint River rather than the Detroit water system. Mistreatment of the new water supply, combined with old lead pipes, created contaminated water for residents.

Solving the problem: Records that could be used to figure out which houses might be affected by corroded old pipes were missing or incomplete. So the city turned to AI. Using 71 different pieces of information—like the age or value of the home—Georgia Tech researchers developed an algorithm that predicted whether or not a home was connected to lead pipes.
