In a thought-provoking video, we confront prevailing misconceptions about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and reveal their potential benefits. Through an illustrative example from Hawaii in 1992, where the papaya industry faced devastation from the ringspot virus, we witness how genetic engineering emerged as a savior, reviving the industry by introducing resistant papaya varieties. Distinguishing between traditional selective breeding and genetic engineering, we illuminate the historical context of genetic manipulation, dating back thousands of years. Dispel with the myth of inherent d ..read more

California-based startup Varda Space Industries has made history by successfully returning samples of the drug made in space.  The company's in-space manufacturing capsule faced months of orbital confinement due to re-entry denial from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). After obtaining the necessary approvals, the re-entry capsule safely landed in the Utah desert at the Utah Test and Training Range on Wednesday, February 21. Parachutes facilitated the touchdown of the W-1 mission re-entry capsule, which contained the space-grown antiviral drug crystals. W-1 back on Earth pic ..read more

To address a longstanding hurdle in biomedical research, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a new nanoscale sensor.  This innovative technology can monitor areas 1,000 times smaller than current technologies, particularly advancing the observation of brain chemistry at the smallest level. As per the press release, this sensor holds the potential to detect minute changes in the chemical composition of living tissue at sub-second resolution.  Silicon-based biosensor It is based on silicon technology and applies microelectronics production processes ..read more

The first shipment of Siemens Gamesa's colossal 350-foot-long (108-meter) wind turbine blades has embarked on its journey from the manufacturing hub in Hull, United Kingdom, to the Moray West offshore wind project located off the coast of Scotland. Nine out of the 180 blades earmarked for the 882-megawatt (MW) wind farm have been loaded onto the Rotra Mare transporter ship, poised to bolster Scotland's renewable energy infrastructure. ?Our first B108 blades leave the factory for the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland, capable of powering 1.3 million homes with clean energy. These 108m ..read more

The demand for organ transplants has long been a pressing issue within the medical community, with thousands of patients worldwide awaiting life-saving procedures. In the United States alone, over 107,000 individuals found themselves on transplant waiting lists as of January 2023. Despite remarkable advancements in medical science, the shortage of viable donor organs remains a significant obstacle, perpetuating a cycle of uncertainty and desperation for those in need. In 2022, a record-breaking 42,800 transplants were successfully conducted, marking a monumental achievement in the field of or ..read more

The Taiwanese armed forces have reported integrating a new, powerful, counter-drone weapon across its services. The SKYNET ADS weapon is a double-barreled-looking gun developed by the Taiwanese company DronesVision. This anti-drone system is produced domestically and built from scratch in Taiwan. It has a futuristic firearm shape reminiscent of sci-fi films like The Terminator and an ergonomic design to make it easy for infantry and security guards to operate. The SKYNET ADS can effectively block hostile drones' video transmission and GPS signal and even force them to return or land on the gr ..read more

Google's Gemini AI has recently found itself in a bit of a quandary. The tech titan said today that it will be putting a pause on the image generation feature in Gemini AI, reported Reuters. The snag comes after the tool was found conjuring up inaccurate depictions of historical figures and some image requests yielding some rather unexpected results. The pause comes after an apology Google had also issued an apology yesterday for ‘missing the mark.’ “We're working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini's Al image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that's ge ..read more
