Israeli genealogy company MyHeritage has released a groundbreaking new feature to animate faces in still photos.
From its power as an antioxidant through to SIRT activation and beyond, resveratrol as a health aid and as an anti-aging compound is a word that has made many headlines and is the topic of many conversations.
From forming the basis of an excuse to drink bottle after bottle of red wine, to a newspaper selling headline it has bee around for decades now and every time it seems to be slipping away, a new insight arrives to bring it back as strong as ever.
Indeed, it is one of the most popular supplements currently available.
So in this video I bring together a background of what it is, when we discovered it and where you can find it naturally, along with a whole raft of studies showing what it can possibly do for the human body.
So I hope this clears up any loose ends for you and if you want to know more about Sirtuins why not check out this video… https://youtu.be/cNUFesiescc Do you supplement with this or any other products, why not let us know your regime below…

Do you remember the test about self control? It’s the test where you get more if you are patient and don’t eat the marshmallow at once. The cuttlefish just passed it. 😃
Much like the popular TikTok challenge where kids resist eating snacks, cuttlefish can do the same! Cuttlefish can delay gratification—wait for a better meal rather than be tempted by the one at hand—and those that can wait longest also do better in a learning test, scientists have discovered.
The technology could boost aerial robots’ repertoire, allowing them to operate in cramped spaces and withstand collisions.
If you’ve ever swatted a mosquito away from your face, only to have it return again (and again and again), you know that insects can be remarkably acrobatic and resilient in flight. Those traits help them navigate the aerial world, with all of its wind gusts, obstacles, and general uncertainty. Such traits are also hard to build into flying robots, but MIT Assistant Professor Kevin Yufeng Chen has built a system that approaches insects’ agility.
Chen, a member of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Research Laboratory of Electronics, has developed insect-sized drones with unprecedented dexterity and resilience. The aerial robots are powered by a new class of soft actuator, which allows them to withstand the physical travails of real-world flight. Chen hopes the robots could one day aid humans by pollinating crops or performing machinery inspections in cramped spaces.
The Meaning of Life

An AI meditation on the Meaning of Life.
All the imagery is generated by the AI using a text prompt.
I inputed “The Meaning of Life” — and these are the results.
It produced a lot of content, with a lot of themes, symbology and mysterious objects. I edited the video together as if the AI was talking to me, guiding me. I tried to listen to its voice, and communicate what it was trying to say.

Planned future experiments will help researchers choose between the two pictures. But whichever model is right, SeaQuest’s hard data about the proton’s inner antimatter will be immediately useful, especially for physicists who smash protons together at nearly light speed in Europe’s Large Hadron Collider. When they know exactly what’s in the colliding objects, they can better piece through the collision debris looking for evidence of new particles or effects. Juan Rojo of VU University Amsterdam, who helps analyze LHC data, said the SeaQuest measurement “could have a big impact” on the search for new physics, which is currently “limited by our knowledge of the proton structure, in particular of its antimatter content.”
Twenty years ago, physicists began investigating a mysterious asymmetry inside the proton. Their results show how antimatter helps stabilize every atom’s core.
The comet was discovered in January and may be bright enough to see without a telescope.
