Asiaâs roll-out of 5G will bring benefits across the new economy
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: augmented reality, biotech/medical, economics, internet, robotics/AI, virtual reality
While these âmoonshotsâ are still some years away, there are viable applications of 5G in the near term. South Korea launched the worldâs first commercial 5G network in April and has seen data transfer rates rise from 50 megabits per second to over 700 Mbps. This enables the delivery of augmented reality, virtual reality and AI-enhanced real-time sports content.
With the arrival of next-generation mobile networks, new services like remote surgery will be suddenly feasible. More immediately, expect a boom in video traffic and augmented reality content.

First-of-Its-Kind Neutron Star Flashes Bizarre âCyclotron Lineâ at Earth
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: space
A twisted little neutron star devoured chunks of its stellar twin, revealing a never-before-seen phenomenon to scientists watching on Earth.
Unlike most objects in space (including other neutron stars and planet Earth), neutron star GRO J2058+42 doesnât have two simple magnetic poles at its north and south ends. Instead, it has a distorted magnetic field, with warped regions of intense magnetism sprinkled across the objectâs surface.

The Cancer Within Modern Medicine Part 5: Transhumanism
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, Ray Kurzweil, robotics/AI, singularity, transhumanism
Wow, the shit flies are flying out of the trash cans of Earth⊠I myself do not desire the thought of man and machine becoming one literally bolted together. But only as Singularity has been now for centuries.
For centuries every technological marvel of the era man became the brain of the covered wagon the bicycle the car the train the Plane now Rocket ships.
Each machine man had to become one with it for it to work. Mans brain became machine like-calculating to operate these miracles of each generation.

Maze Ransomware Demands $6 Million Ransom From Southwire
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: cybercrime/malcode
Maze Ransomware operators claim responsibility for another cyber attack, this time against leading wire and cable manufacturer Southwire Company, LLC (Southwire) from Carrollton, Georgia.
Southwire is one of North Americaâs leading wire and cable makers, âbuilding wire and cable, utility products, metal-clad cable, portable and electronic cord products, OEM wire products and engineered productsâ per a press release published in January 2019.
Maze Ransomware, a variant of Chacha Ransomware, was discovered by Malwarebytes security researcher JĂ©rĂŽme Segura in May. The malware strain has become increasingly more active starting with May 2019.

Viewpoint: Rampage movie offers twisted take on CRISPR gene editing
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, entertainment, genetics
Is a film based on a video game with fleeting mentions of a biotech buzzword compelling sci-fi? No. But I liked Rampage anyway.
The use of CRISPR to edit genes is perhaps the only novel plot point in this latest monster movie. An evil head of a biotech company subverts a scientistâs work to fashion a bioweapon that revs up the growth hormone gene, and more, in three unfortunate animals. Cue Godzilla, King Kong, and the beast in Lake Placid.
But the screenwriters seem to confuse gene editing with an infectious bioweapon, like anthrax. The tagline at IMDb reveals the befuddlement: âWhen three different animals become infected with a dangerous pathogen, a primatologist and a geneticist team up to stop them from destroying Chicago.â Infectious disease, genetic modification, or both?

Plant stem cells in cosmetics: current trends and future directions
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, food, life extension
Plant regeneration at the cellular and tissue level is a unique process. Similar to animals, the stem cells in plants have properties that help stimulate and regenerate plants after injury. The unique properties of plant stem cells have been a recent area of interest and focus both in developing new cosmetics and studying how these extracts/phytohormones will influence animal skin. This special report focuses on the current evidence-based trends in plant stem cell-based cosmetics and sheds light on the challenges that we need to overcome in order to see meaningful changes in human skin using topical cosmetics derived from plant stem cells.
Keywords: : aging skin, antiaging, Ayurveda, cosmetics, epidermal stem cells, herbs, plant stem cells, regeneration.
Plants are equipped with a robust mechanism for regeneration of their tissues under stress. Significant efforts have been put into understanding this mechanism in the expanding field of plant biotechnology [1]. In animals, tissue regeneration occurs following a wound stimulus, resulting in the initiation of organ repair. By contrast, the regenerative efforts made by the plants are not only for tissue repair from damage, but also for the development of a new plant [2]. In other words, cutting the branch of a tree also results in a new bud/branch growth. Can we use this unique property in plants for improving tissue regeneration in animals? âEat an apple a dayâŠBut can it keep aging away?â is thus the question. This report focuses on current applications of plant stem cell-based cosmetics and current research into effects of plant stem cells in human skin.
