Hurtigruten Norway, an adventure cruise company, recently revealed its plans for a zero-emission electric cruise ship that would have retractable sails. Solar panels will cover the entirety of the ship, and the cruise could set sail in 2030. The company currently owns a fleet of eight different ships, each with a capacity of 500 passengers,...
Bryan Johnson, a software developer living in Dallas, Texas, harbors an extraordinary plan. To rejuvenate his body and achieve a youthful state akin to that of a teen. The 45-year-old has an estimated net worth of around $400 million. He is driven by a vision to develop a revolutionary internal anti-aging procedure. Bryan Johnson’s goal...
According to a recent peer-reviewed study that was published in Nature Neuroscience, scientists have created a noninvasive A.I. system that is focused on translating the brain activity of an individual into a text stream. This system has been called a semantic decoder- which will be able to benefit patients who have already lost their ability...
The United States is standing at the cusp of a significant change, perhaps the most consequential since the New Deal. Shifting to cleaner sources of power demands a massive increase in solar power. Not just limited to home rooftop setups but also solar installations located near urban areas. However, a critical question arises, one that...
A recent study conducted by Dr. Sierra Solter-Hunt, former NASA scientist, has raised some concerns. The focus of the study was on the potentially detrimental effects of mega satellite constellations, more specifically, the Starlink constellation from Elon Musk-owned SpaceX, on Earth’s magnetosphere. Dr. Solter-Hunt’s research shows that these constellations might be contributing to an accumulation...
Biohacker Bryan Johnson, known for his unconventional methods in combating aging, recently gave an update regarding his journey towards reversing his age.1 The Texan software developer has invested millions in his pursuit to “not die”, and has garnered attention for his alternative and “innovative” approaches to staying young. Johnson notoriously started infusing himself with his...
A startup called Sun-Ways is taking an innovative approach to renewable energy. They plan to optimize solar power by installing power panels between railway tracks. As opposed to fields of solar panels to catch the energy, these panels do not occupy any landscape or impact the environment. Sun-Ways is waiting for the approval of the...
The world has been in dire need of consistent renewable energy sources for some time now. One innovative solution to this problem is the use of floating solar panels. These solar panels work the same way as any other solar panel does but are instead installed on water bodies like lakes, reservoirs, and oceans. This...
A team of scientists have created the first modular body—a living, organic being that isn’t alive and is powered by technology. The organism, named OSCAR, was created by biologist Cornelis Vlasman. It is a proof-of-concept for his theory that an organism can comprise multiple parts that work together to form a single entity. The idea...
A team of scientists is working to “reincarnate” the extinct woolly mammoth through genetic modifications. The Texas-based biotech company Colossal claims it will create a creature that closely resembles the prehistoric animal by 2027. They explained that their de-extinction goal is to make “a cold-resistant elephant with all of the core biological traits of the...
Imagine having a house that was completely earthquake proof. Now, imagine that the house was also environmentally friendly. That’s just what the Development Association for Renewable Energies started building in Nigeria. Their houses are not just earthquake-resistant, but also bullet-proof… and built out of discarded plastic water bottles. The Earthquake-Proof Water Bottle Houses in Nigeria...
Elon Musk recently asked his Twitter followers if TikTok would be detrimental to the development of the world. He tweeted, “Is TikTok destroying civilization? Some people think so. Or perhaps social media in general.” The tech entrepreneur went on to question the importance of TikTok after speaking to his Twitter staff. This was his first...
