Clipped this part of a Ted talk from Ray Kurzweil. We're gonna have an awesome future.

China is making a groundbreaking move in the race for renewable energy by developing an enormous solar power plant in space. This ambitious project involves placing a massive solar array—about 1 kilometer wide—into **geostationary orbit**, 36,000 kilometers above Earth, where it…

Astronomers have just made a jaw-dropping discovery that could shake up our view of the universe! A new study suggests it’s 100 times more likely that Earth and our galaxy are located in a giant cosmic void, a massive 2 billion light-year-wide region with far less matter than…

A popular sugar substitute may not be as harmless as it seems. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder shows that erythritol—a common sweetener found in many “sugar-free” and “keto” products—may alter brain blood vessel cells in ways that could increase the risk of…

New research reveals that introducing a single gene from the naked mole rat—a rodent renowned for its exceptional lifespan—into mice can extend their life and enhance overall health. The gene, known as hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), increases the production of hyaluronic acid—a…

Before T. rex ruled the globe, there was another king of the world. And scientists just found it. Paleontologists have uncovered a new species of tyrannosauroid dinosaur in Mongolia that represents the closest-known ancestor of the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex. Named…

Gillbert is a 3D-printed robotic fish created by UK student Eleanor Mackintosh to fight water pollution by removing microplastics. Inspired by real fish, it filters water through mesh "gills" while swimming. Successfully tested in real environments, this award-winning,…

Electronic devices could soon be 1,000 times faster, thanks to a new quantum breakthrough. US researchers used light to control a special material called 1T tantalum disulfide, making it switch instantly between blocking and allowing electricity to flow. This switching is the…

Surgeons just revived a ‘dead’ heart — and then successfully transplanted it into a baby. In a medical breakthrough, surgeons at Duke University successfully revived a heart that had stopped beating for over five minutes—and transplanted it into a three-month-old baby, saving…

⚠️ Quitting antidepressants is like quitting a highly addictive drug, new research shows. Users may face months of withdrawal symptoms — or even years. Experts are calling it a public health crisis. People who quit antidepressants may experience severe and long-lasting…

Scientists may have just found a drug-free cure for baldness. A surprising discovery may offer hope to millions struggling with hair loss—and it doesn’t come in the form of a pill or cream. In a study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, researchers found that deoxyribose,…

A glowing golden orb found deep in the Alaskan sea might be a new lifeform — or something even stranger Two miles beneath the frigid waves of the Gulf of Alaska, scientists recovered an object that defies every category we’ve ever known. Roughly the size of a grapefruit, the…

Recent research has shown surprising dietary behavior among California ground squirrels (especially the rock squirrel and golden-mantled ground squirrel). While squirrels are traditionally seen as herbivorous or omnivorous, subsisting on seeds, fruits, and occasionally insects,…

A revolutionary mRNA vaccine developed by scientists at the University of Florida could change the way we treat cancer forever. Unlike chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, this vaccine trains the immune system to recognize and destroy tumors without toxic side effects. It boosts…

Scientists just created the world’s first fluid-based neural network — a thinking machine made of moving water In a bold new direction for computing, researchers at the University of Chicago have built a neural network entirely out of water and salt — a fluidic system that…

Scientists built a bioprinter that creates working human livers — in under 30 minutes In a bioengineering facility in Texas, researchers have unveiled a 3D bioprinter that can print a functional human liver in less than half an hour. Not just tissue, not just shape — a working,…

Scientists at the University of Florida have developed a breakthrough mRNA vaccine that may be able to fight almost any type of cancer—without needing chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. It works by reprogramming the immune system to identify and destroy tumors, even in cases…

MIT engineered a window that pulls water from air — with no power at all In one of the driest deserts on Earth, engineers from MIT tested something extraordinary: a passive glass window that turns desert air into drinkable water — without any wires, electricity, or plumbing.…

Some good longevity news

For the first time ever, scientists in China have reversed type 1 diabetes in a 25-year-old woman using stem cell therapy. Researchers reprogrammed her own fat cells into insulin-producing cells and implanted them into her abdomen. Remarkably, within just 75 days, she began…

Scientists have identified an Amazon rainforest fungus called Pestalotiopsis microspora that naturally digests polyurethane plastic, even thriving without oxygen. First discovered by Yale student researchers in Ecuador’s Yasuni National Forest in 2011, this fungus can use…
