LIVING FOREVER BY 2035 | New Aubrey De Grey Interview
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, government, life extension
To live forever. More and more scientists believe so and in a recent interview, Aubrey De Grey said that there’s a good chance for immortality by 2035. Young people on the other hand have a almost 100% certainty of living forever and never dying.
Reversing aging is no longer science fiction and will soon become a reality with advances in stem cell therapy and advanced injections that stop the aging process in young and old people. So what would a world without death look like? It’s definitely something the government has to look into.

$1.1M NIH Grant Will Further AI-powered Research Analysis
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI
A team of scientists from the University of Florida (UF) will use a $1.1 million grant to further their work on the use of artificial intelligence-or AI-powered medical research for predicting and diagnosing Parkinson’s disease while maintaining patient privacy.
This grant, from the National Institutes for Health (NIH), will allow the scientists to train artificial neural network models — computer systems modeled on the human brain and nervous system — and further develop AI technologies that can predict and diagnose Parkinson’s, according to a press release.
“The proposed research will remove a major roadblock that restricts medical data accessibility and hinders cloud-based operations of deep-learning artificial neural networks for biomedical research,” the investigators said.

Artificial photosynthesis turns CO2 into sustainable fuel
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: solar power, sustainability, transportation
AArtificial photosynthesis turns CO2 into sustainable fuel: Carbon capture is the idea of taking CO2 from the air and storing it. Carbon conversion is taking that same CO2 and turning it into something useful. CO2 can be used for a number of products, but one of the most exciting is alternatives to fossil fuels.
If we look at what’s possible with batteries today, you can do a lot. You can electrify certain portions of aviation, but they’re just never gonna touch that jumbo jet full of a couple of hundred passengers going a thousand miles. And that’s where sustainable aviation fuels come in.
Jason Salfi, CEO of Dimensional Energy, a company using artificial photosynthesis to produce carbon-neutral alternatives to fossil fuels. Their first product, a carbon-neutral jet fuel.

Imaging intact human organs with local resolution of cellular structures using hierarchical phase-contrast tomography
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: biotech/medical
Hierarchical phase-contrast tomography (HiP-CT) enables multiscale imaging of any region within an intact human organ down to cellular resolution. HiP-CT of five organ types revealed 3D morphological features in healthy and diseased tissue.
