What do an egg and a computer network have in common?

“By recreating the violent shock of an asteroid impact, scientists found that a famously resilient bacterium can survive the crushing forces that could launch it off Mars. The discovery strengthens the idea that life might hitchhike between planets after major cosmic collisions. Credit: SciTechDaily.com” (ScitechDaily, Asteroid Impacts Could Launch Living Microbes From Mars) If an asteroid impact were to launch living microbes from Mars, we could ask another interesting question. Could life be born on Mars? Or did some other asteroid bring those organisms' ancestors to the Red Planet? Another thing is also interesting. If the meteorite Alan Hills, ALH84001, involves remnants of ancient microbes. Could those microbe remnants come from Mars? There is also a possibility. The temperature of that meteorite. Which fell to Antarctica, acted as a call signal for some bacteria that might not be anywhere else than in the Antarctic ice. This is the reason why researchers should collect sample...

Researchers created a clone of a mouse. And then they re-cloned that clone. This thing makes it possible to create immortality. Practical solutions require more work. But the beginning is always difficult.  After 57 generations, less than 1% of those clones survived. The problem is in the DNA damage that forms when the DNA is separated and injected into the next generation of embryos. The system must have the ability to test. And find errors. And then fix them in the DNA molecules. The system must have the DNA code in digital form. Then it must read the DNA before it injects it into the next-generation embryos. The system must also take. The DNA from individuals. They are as young as possible. That guarantees the ability. To get the DNA. With minimal damage. Then the system must find critical errors. And changes from the DNA. And use nanotechnology to replace them. The digital copy or DNA’s digital twin makes it possible to compare the DNA that the system uses.  To the model. ...

“For more than 70 years, the Tellegen effect has been something of an 'optics unicorn': a phenomenon well described in theory but practically impossible to observe because it is usually vanishingly weak in natural materials. Now, researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Aalto University in Finland, and Stanford University report what they describe as the first experimental detection of the Tellegen effect for visible light.” (University of Gothenburg, Scientists Finally Spot the Elusive Tellegen Effect) Reseachers at the University of Gothenburg and Aalto University spotted the Tellegen effect in optical metasurfaces. First time in history. Researchers formed an elusive Telleren effect in the optical area. Reseachers rejected natural materials. They developed the synthetic metamaterials. And. That opened new ways to create the Tellegen effect in material.  And before anybody can benefit from that effect, the systems and metamaterials must turn more advanced. The Tellegen ...

The new pregnancy robot from China can open the road to the stars. However, it can also serve darker purposes. Chinese developers created a humanoid robot that can carry an artificial womb. This kind of robot. It can be used to replace humans in childbirth. And the visions that this technology gives are not always bright. The robot that carries and gives birth to genetically engineered superhumans can serve the darkest visions that mankind can imagine.  The ability to create artificial, genetically engineered humans who have no connections to things like parents is the thing that allows developers to make perfect servants to leaders. They do not have similar morals. Or ethical ways of thinking as regular people. The robot. It can drive information. Into. Those fetuses' nervous system. By using electric shocks.  Of course, it can give birth to babies, whose mothers don’t dare to give birth. But that robot can make it possible to create humans who have no relationship with real ...

 The new number of calculated digits for pi is 314 trillion. This number was created using a monolithic computer in 110 days. There is no ending for that number, which is. About 3,14... Pi is quite easy to calculate if we need only a couple of decimals. The pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. And NASA tells. That only about 37 digits of pi are needed to calculate the circumference of the observable universe with extreme precision. The fact is that. The pi seems infinite. And this means. That there will be more and more decimals that the machines can generate, using pi.  Or its formula. This causes one interesting thing. The pi is a quite good tool for calculating certain types of quantum decimal numbers. Researchers used a computer without breaks for 110 days. And they didn’t find an end for that decimal number. Next time, they could start from that point. There are 314 trillion digits calculated. And maybe that thing can bring new things about th...

“A gene borrowed from the naked mole rat, an animal famous for extraordinary longevity and disease resistance, helped mice live a little longer and stay healthier, pointing to a surprising biological 'export' of longevity traits across species. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene, Paving the Way for Extending Human Lifespan) By using genetic engineering, we can extend our life expectancy. Very much. Another thing. That can increase our lifespan. It would be nanotechnology.  This removes chemical toxins from our bodies. Researchers found things. Like the mechanism that helps DNA to repair itself. And that thing can extend our lifetime. This is one of the things that genetic engineering can bring to us. Genetic manipulation is easier to make in the single-cell-stage embryo. The fact is that genetic engineering and exchange. The DNA can transform one organism into another. And this is one of the things. We must realize when we develop DNA-...
