You can live to 150? Scientists create app that shows human lifespan could nearly double
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, mobile phones, robotics/AI
An iPhone app that estimates biological aging discovered that life expectancy has the capacity to be almost double the current norm.
GEYLANG, Singapore â Have you made any plans for the 22nd century yet? A new study finds you might want to think about it because itâs possible for humans to live to see their 150th birthday!
Scientists in Singapore have developed an iPhone app that accurately estimates biological aging. It discovered that life expectancy has the capacity to be almost double the current norm. The findings are based on blood samples from hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and United Kingdom.

Strange robotic thumb can impact how the hand is represented in the brain
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, robotics/AI
UCL researchers have created a strange robotic âthird thumbâ that attaches to the hand and adds a large extra digit on the opposite side of the hand from the thumb. Researchers found that using the robotic thumb can impact how the hand is represented in the brain. For the research, scientists trained people to use an extra robotic thumb and found they could effectively carry out dexterous tasks such as building a tower of blocks using a single hand with two thumbs.
Researchers said that participants trained to use the extra thumb increasingly felt like it was part of their body. Initially, the Third Thumb was part of a project seeking to reframe the way people view prosthetics from replacing a lost function to becoming an extension of the human body. UCL Professor Tamar Makin says body augmentation is a growing field aimed at extending the physical abilities of humans.

The Worldâs First Robot Chef Is Finally Here, and It Even Cleans Up After Itself
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: food, robotics/AI
Anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen knows that thereâs at least one gadget out there for every single step in the cooking process. But there has never been an appliance that could handle them all. Until now, that is.
Later this year, London-based robotics company Moley will begin selling the first robot chef, according to the Financial Times. The company claims the ceiling-mounted device, called the Moley Robotics Kitchen, will be able to cook over 5000 recipes and even clean up after itself when itâs done.
