Daimler has just announced that it is halting all future development of gasoline engines. The automaker will solely focus on electric cars from here on out. This implies that Mercedes-Benz is taking the same approach.
The future is electric. We all know that and so too does Daimler now with this move to electric-drive only for future vehicles.
Cryosurgery is usually used for skin tumors. However, some internal tumors can be treated this way as well. The surgery involves the use of liquid nitrogen.
Here’s some good news as we head into cold and flu season: Scientists may have found the cure for the common cold.
“Our grandmas have always been asking us, ‘If you’re so smart, why haven’t you come up with a cure for the common cold?” one of the study’s co-authors, Jan Carette, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, said in a statement.
No offense to Grandma, but there’s a reason finding a cure for the common cold, which affects millions of Americans each year, has been so elusive. There isn’t just one virus that’s behind the infection. Many different respiratory viruses can bring on the common cold, but most are caused by rhinovirus infections. There are approximately 160 known types of rhinovirus, which, as Stanford noted in a news release, explains why getting a cold doesn’t make you immune to picking up another one a month later.
Sept. 18 (UPI) — When it comes to controlling early symptoms of type 2 diabetes, two drugs are better than one, a new study says.
Prescribing metformin and vildagliptin to people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes reduced their long-term blood sugar levels more than single-drug therapy, according to findings published Wednesday in The Lancet. The patients also had lower rates of treatment failure than those who only used Metformin, the current first-line drug used by new type 2 diabetics.
“The findings of VERIFY support and emphasize the importance of achieving and maintaining early glycaemic control,” the authors wrote.
If there’s anything that’s captivated mankind’s imagination more than new ways to kill one another, it’s how to beat the grim reaper. Just kidding, how to kill people still generates the most funding of all, but this article isn’t about that, it’s about immortality and the new age billionaires who are funding it.

What might it take to feed a million people on Mars? Lab-grown meat, tunnel-grown crops and cricket farms, a new study finds.
When it comes to plans for crewed missions to Mars, NASA typically assumes round trips with only brief stopovers on the Red Planet. However, commercial space companies have emerged with the goal of colonizing outer space, with SpaceX specifically aiming to develop a civilization on Mars.
