A team of researchers from Purdue University claim to have discovered the “chemistry behind the origin of life” on Earth in simple droplets of water, and they’re using strikingly strong language to celebrate the findings.
Graham Cooks, chemistry professor at Purdue and lead author of a new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, called it a “dramatic discovery” and the “secret ingredient for building life” in a statement.
“This is essentially the chemistry behind the origin of life,” he added. “This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water.”
Drive just North of Scottsdale, Arizona, and you’ll find a loose grid of dirt roads known as the Rio Verde Foothills. It’s home to around 2,000 families drawn to rustic desert beauty and the freedom of living outside the city limits, but the town is about to become a symbol of the West’s growing water crisis.
John Hornewer moved to the area 23 years ago. When he discovered his new community didn’t have water service, he began hauling water for himself, along with some of his neighbors.
“As my neighbor saw me coming up the road with the trailer, they were like, ‘Hey, could you stop and drop off a load for me?’” Hornewer said.
The common longevity supplement NMN has recently been banned by the FDA for several reasons which have sent ripples through the longevity, sparking outrage and several concerns as to where the longevity industry is heading.
How will transportation look like in the future? In today’s video we take look into the Future of Transportation and explore some amazing technologies that will revolutionize how we travel in the future. There has been no denying that for several years in the past, the world has been undergoing massive changes, thanks to the advancement in technology. However, when it comes to transportation, the changes have not been that large. Transportations method such as cars, trains, ships, and planes have improved somewhat in functionality over time, but since their creation, they have in large part stayed the same.
In this video, we will unveil some amazing future transportation technologies that without a doubt will absolutely blow your mind!
The technologies we look at in today’s video include Earth-to-earth rockets, which will let you travel from one side of the earth to the other in less than 1 hour. This technology utilizes the famous Starship from Elon Musk’s SpaceX. We then move on to Hyperloop Systems, which is a cutting-edge new technology that makes use of a vacuum-sealed tube to send passengers or freight at high speeds. This concept was also introduced by Elon Musk, but through the company ironically named as The Boring Company. Further, we explore Fully Autonomous Vehicles, and in more in depth — into the various level of autonomation available today and what will be there in the future.
The video also covers Flying Taxis and Hypersonic Air Travel. The flying taxis, like the ones being constructed by Volocopter, is a new transportation method that could take the world by storm in the future. The same goes for hypersonic air travel that will let passenger again take to the sky in hypersonic aircraft similar to the Concord in the past, only much safer and considerably faster.
Elon Musk posted pictures with engineers at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, saying they were leaving after the billionaire asked some employees who had not resigned to meet with him.
Aging is a complex process that can lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, muscular degeneration, atherosclerosis and neurodegeneration, and it is currently one of the major scientific concerns in the field of medicine [1].
Several strategies have been developed to date for the promotion of healthy aging and an increase in the duration of life. One of the recent strategies that can decrease the deleterious impact of aging and increase the regenerative property at the cellular level is cellular reprogramming.
Cellular reprogramming can convert a somatic cell into an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). It not only helps to restore tissue and organ function but also helps to determine cell fate. This, in turn, helps in the maintenance of cellular identity through the expression of cell type-specific genes and suppression of lineage-inappropriate genes [2].
Canon is moving ahead with a plan to build a new factory in Japan to double the production of its semiconductor lithography equipment.
The planned facility will produce both the standard KrF and i-line machines that constitute the bulk of the division’s sales and the nanoimprint tools that Canon hopes will open a new era in semiconductor manufacturing.
Addressing investors after the announcement of third-quarter results in late October, Canon’s management referred to “our leading-edge nanoimprint lithography equipment.”
