I finished writing and designing a Children Story Book in 6 Hours or Less with Chat GPT

What’s next? Tell me 3 more children’s novels you recall after Harry potter. I have missed another Alice in Wonderland. When was the last time you found a new character that you deeply connect with?Isn’t that the reason? Good things must have been written and are being written. I was deep down in the rabbit hole of thoughts. I thought about starting a story at least. Just to challenge me. I started writing when I discovered the wordInnovations are not faster to reach the ones who lack data and access. Then I came up with a place. Just Another Hobit land or fairyland or what?The ones that were in my mind. 800 words were written. Link to get the ebook: The Friendly Unicorn and His Magical FriendsHere they are:

Immune Surprise: Key Alarm Protein Drives Inflammation

An important breakthrough in understanding how inflammation is regulated has been made by scientists from Trinity College Dublin. They have just discovered that a key immune alarm protein previously believed to calm down the immune response actually does the opposite.

Their work has numerous potential impacts, especially in the context of understanding and responding to autoimmune disorders and inflammation.

Our immune system serves a very important function in protecting us from infection and injury. However, when immune responses become too aggressive this can lead to damaging inflammation, which occurs in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Inflammation is triggered when our bodies produce “alarm proteins” (interleukins), which ramp up our defenses against infection and injury by switching on different components of our immune system.

Artificial wombs: The coming era of motherless births?

S cientifically, it’s called ectogenesis, a term coined by J.B.S. Haldane in 1924. A hugely influential science popularizer, Haldane did for his generation what Carl Sagan did later in the century. He got people thinking and talking about the implications of science and technology on our civilization, and did not shy away from inventing new words in order to do so. Describing ectogenesis as pregnancy occurring in an artificial environment, from fertilization to birth, Haldane predicted that by 2074 this would account for more than 70 percent of human births.

His prediction may yet be on target.

In discussing the idea in his work Daedalus –a reference to the inventor in Greek mythology who, through his inventions, strived to bring humans to the level of the gods–Haldane was diving into issues of his time, namely eugenics and the first widespread debates over contraception and population control.

Project Liftoff: The Future Of Robot Combat is AI. This Is Havoc Episode 4

Father son duo Jim and Andrew Kazmer build and drive one of the most exciting and best supported robots at NHRL in Project Liftoff.

They’ve further developed this into a second bot in Flip n Cut with a variation in weapon type and have pushed the limits of innovation with their fully autonomous combat robot DeepMelt.

How does a fully autonomous robot work, and how will it assist human drivers in future?
What is a Meltybrain, how does it work?
Why is the choice of wheel so important?
Will we see a 250lb Project Liftoff?

Find out in the episode 4 of This Is Havoc: Liftoff.

NHRL is the biggest and most accessible robot combat league in the world, home of the 3lb, 12lb and 30lb robot combat world championships.

We are one of the toughest places to win, but also one of the most friendly and welcoming for all ages and experience.

Visualizing the World in 2090

In some ways, the world in 2090 may resemble the world we live in today. Yet, two key areas will almost certainly change: the natural world and technology. Will our thirst for consumption ultimately deplete the world’s most critical natural resources? Or will technology help us persevere? And how will innovation change the way we move, work, and explore? Today, we’ll take a deep dive into these captivating questions.

A New Drug Could Fight Both COVID and Cancer

University of Southern California and the Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center researchers have published new research on GRP78, a protein implicated in both COVID-19.

First identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China, COVID-19, or Coronavirus disease 2019, (which was originally called “2019 novel coronavirus” or 2019-nCoV) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has spread globally, resulting in the 2019–22 coronavirus pandemic.

NASA’s heatshield promises advanced space exploration and help to fight forest fires

At number 14 on IE’s 22 best innovations of 2022, is a new heatshield technology from NASA that’s helping put out fires.

As the global space industry gears up for human space exploration of Mars and beyond, it will need technologies that make atmospheric entries innumerably safer.

It essentially acts as a massive inflatable break system for spacecraft, making spaceflight much safer.
