Neuralink: How The Human Brain Will Download Directly From a Computer
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI
As an immediate application, Neural Lace could potentially help patients suffering from brain injuries and certain illnesses. However, the utimate goal and mission of Neuralink are to successfully merge the human brain with machine, fusing human intelligence with Artificial Intelligence. As a result, this is expected to bring humanity up to a higher level of cognitive reasoning.

This Invention Will Keep Water Running After a Caribbean Hurricane Hits
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: climatology, innovation
Now, another hurricane season is already underway in the Caribbean.
Our research on rainwater harvesting — a low-cost, low-tech way to collect and store rainwater — suggests this technique could be deployed across the Caribbean to improve these communities’ access to water both after storms and in everyday life.
Even before hurricanes Maria and Irma hit last September, some Caribbean islands were unable to provide reliable clean water for drinking and washing to all residents.

New pill could see humans live to 150 ‘for the price of a coffee’
Posted by Jacob Anderson in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
An extraordinary new anti-ageing technique could see humans live to 150 years old and allow them to regrow their organs by 2020.
Harvard Professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales developed the new process, which involves reprogramming cells.

The man who tried to catalog humanity
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, known simply as “Luca” to generations of human geneticists, died this week at age 96. More than any other human geneticist, Cavalli-Sforza believed in the potential of genes and culture together to trace humanity’s origins. In the course of his work, he pioneered new ideas and models that brought together these two distinct areas of science.
Like most scientists, many of his ideas would turn out to be wrong in the details. But his work helped form the foundation of our current knowledge of human genome variation across the world.
In 1991, Cavalli-Sforza wrote an essay for Scientific American that explained the course of his life’s work to that point. He recollected a time as a young man when he worked in the Cambridge laboratory of Ronald A. Fisher, one of the founders of modern evolutionary theory.

As Florida’s toxic red tide stretches on, residents report health problems
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, health
This video is the second in a two-part series discussing 5G. In this video, we’ll be discussing the transition from fourth to fifth generation mobile networks along with the timeline for deployment of 5G infrastructure we can expect to see.
[0:35–5:15] First we’ll take a look at how 4G networks have been evolving and their future trajectory, as well as the organizations in charge of setting the standards for a mobile generation.
[5:15–9:55] Following that, we’ll look at how 4G networks will ease the transition to 5G, unlimited data plans and some of the use cases opened up by 4.5G/5G.
