Just as car created job for drivers, computer created job for data entry operator.robots will also create new types of high paying jobs.

For decades, the arrival of robots in the workplace has been a source of public anxiety over fears that they will replace workers and create unemployment.

Now that more sophisticated and humanoid robots are actually emerging, the picture is changing, with some seeing robots as promising teammates rather than unwelcome competitors.

Engineered immune cells, known as CAR T cells, have shown the world what personalized immunotherapies can do to fight blood cancers. Now, investigators have reported highly promising early results for CAR T therapy in a small set of patients with the autoimmune disease lupus. Penn Medicine CAR T pioneer Carl June, MD, and Daniel Baker, a doctoral student in Cell and Molecular Biology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, discuss this development in a commentary published today in Cell.

“We’ve always known that in principle, CAR T therapies could have broad applications, and it’s very encouraging to see early evidence that this promise is now being realized,” said June, who is the Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy in the department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Penn Medicine and director of the Center for Cellular Immunotherapies at Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center.

T cells are among the immune system’s most powerful weapons. They can bind to, and kill, other cells they recognize as valid targets, including virus-infected cells. CAR T cells are T cells that have been redirected, through genetic engineering, to efficiently kill specifically defined cell types.

Vitaly Vanchurin, physicist and cosmologist at the University of Minnesota Duluth speaks to Luis Razo Bravo of EISM about the world as a neural network, machine learning, theories of everything, interpretations of quantum mechanics and long-term human survival.

Today we have the impression that our planet is a stable place, in exception of some natural disasters. But there was times earth was not a live-friendly place. A important condition for life is the presence of liquid water (maybe not everywhere). Land was inhabitated till the Ordovizium because of air Oxygen poverty.

Many Factors are changing the state of our planet. For first the sun which is increasing their radiation by ageing. This is evident because it shifts the inner bounder of the habitable zone away from sun. Another Problem is the ageing of earth and the decreasing of geological activities. This will reduce the exhaust of greenhouse gasses and so the outer border of habitable zone will shrink. Maybe after 500 Million years life on earth is no more possible, but just Pangea Ultimo will be a very hostile, deserted World. Later Water will evaporate, combinated with volcanic gases Earth will get a very dense athmosphere very Venus-like. This state will Keep for billions of year — a very sad end for our planet before Sun, after the collapse of hydrogen burning and a instable phase will finally inflate to a red giant. It’s not sure if earth will be absorbed but otherwise it would be a devastated, lonely planet travelling through space… Have you ideas for another Video — write it in the coments — best ideas will be realized… I also make gaming-Videos about Amazing-Frog and Minecraft, my Server https://minewind.com …

This is an Approach to explain how life came to earth. It’s a story of chemistry, I hope this will not be to boring ;).

What happened in the 2 Billion years after the emergence of Life, between 3.5 and 1.5 billion years? More than I once thought.

Earlier this year, we announced our vision to empower any developer to become a space developer through Azure. With over 90 million developers on GitHub, we have created a powerful ecosystem and we are focused on empowering the next generation of developers for space. Today, we are announcing a crucial step towards democratizing access to space development, with the preview release of Azure Orbital Space SDK (software development kit)—a secure hosting platform and application toolkit designed to enable developers to create, deploy, and operate applications on-orbit.

By bringing modern cloud-based applications to spacecrafts we not only increase the efficiency, value, and speed of insights from space data but also increase the value of that data through the optimization of ground communication.

Many of the fundamental technological improvements that have accelerated the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) in the past decade remain untapped by space development missions today. With the Azure Orbital Space SDK, we will help bring those improvements to space through modern agile software deployment, container-based development, use of higher-level languages, and cloud-managed networking. Extending the power of the Azure cloud into space means that spacecraft development will take less time, cost less, and bring more people into the space development ecosystem.

Researchers at the University of Maine on Monday unveiled what they say is a promising, climate-friendly response to the nation’s affordable housing crisis: the world’s first, bio-based 3D printed home.

University, state and federal officials joined Maine Gov. Janet Mills and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the 600-square-foot-home.

The home is made entirely from a wood-based material, which University of Maine researchers say is an inexpensive, renewable and recyclable building option.

To date, only a handful of countries have developed an independent launch capability. If all goes according to plan, Gilmour Space could enable Australia to become the 12th member of the club able to put its own rockets into space.

Founded in 2012, Australian company Gilmour Space is working on hybrid-engine rockets and associated technologies to support the development of low-cost space launch vehicles.
