The spacecraft captured the image when it was 4,200 miles from the object in the solar system’s distant Kuiper belt.

It took “200 years of training” to get to this point.

According to a recent study, older adults who move around more are likely to have significantly better memory and thinking skills.

How might the process be used in the future?

Due to advancements in genetic engineering, the researchers say they&s;re able to reprogram bacteria and create mutations in cell surfaces with “vast diversity.”

“By combining genetic tools (for creating mutations) with our microfluidic screening (for selection), we have the vision to mutate cells and then pick out the best candidates for electron transfer.”

A team of astronomers is using double-quasars to measure the Universe’s rate of expansion. Can they finally help end the debate?

Does your phone’s short battery life bug you? Static electricity could be coming to the rescue.

Researchers at Weizmann Institute of Science and Cinvestav recently carried out a study testing the theory of Hawking radiation on laboratory analogues of black holes. In their experiments, they used light pulses in nonlinear fiber optics to establish artificial event horizons.

Well…

(you thought).

A study of thousands of human genomes reveals where mutations happen most often when our parents’ genes combine.

There is a noble frontier in the making that is growing internationally at speeds yet to be comprehended. And this frontier goes by the name “Transhumanism,” which is the pursuit to overcome aging and all biological limitations via advanced science and technology. What started as nothing more than a fringe concept among futurist circles has now become a global movement consisting of philosophers, political activists, scientists, and technologists.

But when it comes to Transhumanism here in the United States, there was one particular event in mind that helped introduce this movement into the national dialogue. That event is now famously known as the “Immortality Bus tour,” for which was led by then-presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan, representing the U.S. Transhumanist Party.
