Ultra-Processed Foods: AI’s New Contribution to Nutrition Science

Summary: Researchers developed a machine learning algorithm, FoodProX, capable of predicting the degree of processing in food products.

The tool scores foods on a scale from zero (minimally or unprocessed) to 100 (highly ultra-processed). FoodProX bridges gaps in existing nutrient databases, providing higher resolution analysis of processed foods.

This development is a significant advancement for researchers examining the health impacts of processed foods.

The Science & Art of Longevity

A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert.

“One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics

Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.

I quoted and responded to this remark:

“…we probably will not solve death and this actually shouldn’t be our goal.” Well nice as she seems thank goods Dr Levine does not run the scientific community involved in rejuvenation.

The first bridge looks like it’s going to be plasma dilution and this may come to the general population in just a few short years. People who have taken this treatment report things like their arthritis and back pain vanishing.

After that epigentic programming to treat things that kill you in old age. And so on, bridge after bridge. if you have issues with the future, some problem with people living as long as they like, then by all means you have to freedom to grow old and die. That sounds mean but then I think it’s it’s mean to inform me I have to die because you think we have to because of “progress”. But this idea that living for centuries or longer is some horrible moral crime just holds no water.


Science can’t stop aging, but it may be able to slow our epigenetic clocks.

The science behind procrastination: Why we put things off and how to stop

Procrastination is a common problem, but there are ways to overcome it. Here we explore the science behind procrastination, what causes it, and the science-backed methods to overcome it.

Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve wanted to get something done but ended up putting it off until the last possible minute? Do you find yourself constantly delaying tasks until the last minute? Don’t worry; you’re not alone!

The practice of unnecessarily and voluntarily delaying or postponing duties or actions is known as procrastination. This often leads to missed deadlines, reduced quality of work, and increased stress and anxiety. Despite these downsides, many people struggle with procrastination on a regular basis.

The Real and Extraordinary Science of Deadpool’s Superpowers

Year 2016 Although some have have thought regeneration of limbs improbable actually this can become a reality due to amphibians limb regeneration then using crispr we can get deadpool like abilities for all. 😗😁


Also known as Wade Wilson, Deadpool is a sarcastic, eccentric smart-ass, way more of an antihero than your traditional superhero.

Deadpool acquires his powers when he seeks out the help of a creepy, top-secret company to help cure his cancer with a dangerous experimental “treatment” designed to activate mutant genes. (Incidentally, it’s the same creepy, top-secret company that gave Wolverine his adamantium skeleton and claws.)

In the movie version of the story, they throw Deadpool — played by Ryan Reynolds — into a tiny chamber and starve his body of oxygen for days. It works, and suddenly Wade has an awesome regeneration power. He can quickly heal from any wound, even beheading, and he’s immune to most types of poisons and diseases. However, the transformation leaves him with horrible scars all over his body. Naturally, he wants vengeance.

A Cutting-Edge Diamond Sensor for Neutron Experiments and Quantum Information Science

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s nuclear physics group is participating in the nEDM experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, aiming to measure the neutron’s electric dipole moment to constrain theories in particle physics. The researchers aim to construct sensors for the nEDM experiment and explore their potential applications in quantum information science. The unique quantum properties of nitrogen-vacancy diamond make it a promising candidate for quantum sensing and quantum memory.

The nuclear physics group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is looking for evidence of new physics in neutrons, electrically neutral particles that hold atomic nuclei together with an interaction called the strong force. Faculty and researchers are participating in the nEDM experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory which will measure the neutron’s electric dipole moment, a property that allows neutrons to interact with electric fields despite their neutrality. A precise measurement will constrain theories extending the current standard model of particle physics. To achieve this, the researchers must accurately measure subtle changes in very strong electric fields.

Professor of Physics Douglas Beck has been awarded a grant from the Department of Energy to develop sensors based on nitrogen-vacancy diamond, a material whose quantum properties at low temperatures make it unusually sensitive to electric fields. His research group has shown that the material can measure strong electric fields, and the award will allow the researchers to construct sensors ready to use in the nEDM experiment. In addition, the material’s quantum properties make it a promising candidate for quantum information science. The researchers will also explore these potential applications.

To Live on Mars, Human Architecture Has to Combine Science and Sci-Fi

Our homes are the places that define us; those warm private spaces that we depend on for work, respite, and haven from the harsh realities of the wider world. On Earth, the buildings and dwellings humans spend the majority of their lives in serve as reflections of our society’s culture, beliefs, and values. So if the shelters we make for ourselves truly mirror and influence our everyday lives, how might that sentiment be translated to living in space?

The kinds of structures future explorers might live in on other planets may be more critical to space exploration than sci-fi depictions of cities and homes in a galaxy far, far away suggest. As NASA’s desire for long-term human space colonization comes to fruition with planned crewed missions to Mars, establishing safe and well-made human settlements for life off-Earth is one of the agency’s most urgent tasks.

Putting down roots on Mars is an extremely ambitious goal to accomplish this century — but the reason why isn’t to do with rockets, necessarily. Rather, it is because any human settlement on the Red Planet will have to fight tooth and nail to experience even a modicum of ecological success.
