The colorectal cancer vaccine test was a success

colorectal

The first phase of human testing of the colorectal cancer vaccine was a success and holds great promise. A new study published in major scientific journals proves that the vaccine is safe and stimulates the activation of the immune system: a real "green light" for new large-scale tests. A relentless killer – Colorectal cancer is the second highest mortality rate in the world: not only is it difficult to diagnose, but it is also… Read more

China is absolutely racing to change its transport in the direction of unmanned vehicles: for this reason it is building special highways for this type of car. The new route, approximately 100 kilometers long, includes two completely dedicated lanes: the objective is to give autonomous vehicles a space adjacent to those driven by humans but with equal conditions, to better test their yield and performance. The new highway will rise between the urban areas of Beijing… Read more

Singularity: Kurzweil expects intelligent computers as humans within 12 years.

According to futurologist and Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is approaching by leaps and bounds. “By 2029, computers will have the same level of intelligence as humans.” This is the statement made in a recent interview at the SXSW Conference. What is the singularity? (It is always good to remember this) It is a process-event that will bring the intelligence of computers to a higher level than that of human beings. And according to leading experts on the subject it seems to be getting closer over time. Even the theoretical physicist Stephen… Read more

Infrared Wifi: 40 giga per second.

Infrared Wifi: 100 times faster than the current one. This is the goal achieved by Joanne Oh, a researcher at the University of Eindhoven. By developing a low-intensity infrared “network” to transmit data within an environment, she obtained a formidable system: 40 Gigabits per second of speed and no overhead (each device uses its own infrared “ray”). The system is simple and in principle very economical to set up. The data is distributed by some small antennas… Read more

The next hard drive? It will be DNA.

The preservation of information is increasingly crucial: this is why companies like Microsoft are studying the "hard disks" of the future. Among the most promising research is that which focuses on a truly exceptional "physical memory": DNA. Our DNA is a medium that stores data about us: on an IT level its "performance" is extraordinary. Like Hard Disk, DNA does not degrade over time. It is so versatile that it contains in just 4 grams all the information produced in an entire … Read more

“The biggest health problem in the world is age-related diseases.” Not a revolutionary statement from Dr. Brad Perking, the medical director of Human Longevity. Yet of his recent speech in Abu Dhabi, these were the last words stuck in the present. In his projections of the near future, the doctor's analysis was much more visionary, as is typical of him. Human Longevity inc. is the company founded by Craig Venter with an initial investment of over… Read more
