Interesting interview about the future of Ageing with leading expert with Aubrey De Grey.
This week we interview the phenomenal Aubrey De Grey, the world’s foremost authority on longevity and developing strategies to slow or eliminate aging altogether. The author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and Ending Aging (2007), De Grey is probably best known for the concept of Longevity Escape Velocity, a view that soon medical technology will enable human beings to prevent age-related deterioration, and eventually eliminated aging entirely.
The future of Ageing with Aubrey De Grey.
Color-changing cars. Flying taxis. And a gaming-style tablet that can steer a vehicle.
Car companies descended on CES in Las Vegas this week to show off their latest ideas—some quirky and far out, others more relevant in the near term—as the industry navigates technological shifts in its business.
During the week, car executives unveiled new in-car software, hyped automated-driving tech, and highlighted new partnerships and investment deals. Auto makers in recent years have accelerated the rollout of their new battery-powered models.
Airbus will collaborate with Voyager Space to develop the new Starlab space station by 2028.
Airbus and Voyager Space have announced a partnership to develop and operate Starlab – a free-flying space station that will serve NASA and function as a global customer base of space agencies and researchers. Starlab is planned for launch in 2028 to ensure a continued human presence in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).
An international research team has discovered a potential new target for a drug that could prevent the deadly metastases responsible for 90% of cancer deaths.
According to a study published in Nature, an international team of researchers has identified a mechanism that allows cancer cells to spread throughout the body. They found that cancer cells move faster when they are surrounded by thicker fluids, a change that occurs when lymph drainage is disrupted by a primary tumor.
These findings provide a potential new target for stopping metastasis, which is responsible for 90% of cancer deaths.
With 2023 right around the corner, we make 5 predictions that will happen in the artificial intelligence (AI) world.
5 Predictions.
1) GPT-4 to be released.
2) Autonomous Vehicles as primary source of transportation for general population.
3) Evolution of search engines.
4) Humanoid robot development.
5) Run out of data to train AI language models.
A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. Their findings offer direct evidence of previously theorized efficient growth, as predicted by the non-linear growth theory of waves. This should improve our understanding of not only space plasma physics but also space weather, a phenomenon that affects satellites.
When people imagine outer space, they often envision it as a perfect vacuum. In fact, this impression is wrong because the vacuum is filled with charged particles. In the depths of space, the density of charged particles becomes so low that they rarely collide with each other.
Instead of collisions, the forces related to the electric and magnetic fields filling space, control the motion of charged particles. This lack of collisions occurs throughout space, except for very near to celestial objects, such as stars, moons, or planets. In these cases, the charged particles are no longer traveling through the vacuum of space but instead through a medium where they can strike other particles.
A study demonstrates full energy–momentum matching, and enhanced interaction, between free electrons and photons through a continuum of flatband resonances, realized in a silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal slab.
