In November 2018, a Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, announced that he had genetically modified human beings, causing shockwaves throughout the scientific and health community around the world.
As society becomes increasingly reliant on technology, it’s not surprising that concerns over genetic modification and other advancements in science would arise. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the potential implications of this Chinese scientist’s announcement and what you can do to stay safe if such technologies are ever developed within […]
Earth is the only planet in the universe as we know it.
For a long time, scientists believed that there must be other planets out there in the universe. And now, we know that they were right – there is one planet out there that is very similar to Earth and is said to be the only planet in the universe as we know it. What is […]
Scientists who are creating therapies to eliminate HIV have used a drug called LASER ART as well as a gene editing method to test laboratory mice.
Laser Art and gene editing are two of the most promising methods scientists have found for curing HIV infection. Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta conducted a study where they used both laser art and gene editing to test their effectiveness on laboratory mice. The results were positive, and suggest that these methods could be […]
In the workplace, robots, AI (artificial intelligence) factory, In factories, they are forced to do repetitive and boring tasks, while humans are responsible for the thinking and supervising parts.
Robots and AI are changing the way we work in factories. In the past, factories were filled with machines that forced humans to do repetitive and boring tasks. But now, robots and AI are changing the way we work in factories. The robots that are used in factories today are not as advanced as those […]

When I was in college, I had the opportunity to work with a brilliant young computer scientist. His name was AlexNet, and he changed the way we see image recognition algorithms. Today, you might be wondering how you can access his legacy and see the first image on the internet. Luckily, there’s an app for […]
Einstein’s theory of relativity is a physical theory that best explains the large objects in our universe.
In 1905, Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, which is the most accurate description of the physical world we know. This theory explains how large objects move and how their motion affects smaller objects. It also provides a foundation for understanding time and space. What is Einstein’s theory of relativity? Einstein’s theory of relativity […]

Jeanny Yao and Miranda Wang are two 20-year-old schoolgirls who have become overnight celebrities after they created a type of bacteria that can fight plastic pollution. The girls, who are students at the University of California Los Angeles, developed the bacteria while conducting research for their biology classes. Background of Jeanny Yao and Miranda Wang […]
For decades, biologists have puzzled over Ediacaran organisms.
For decades, biologists have puzzled over Ediacaran organisms. These enigmatic fossils have left many questions unanswered, including why they suddenly appeared in the fossil record and what role they may have played in the evolution of life on Earth. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most well-known Ediacaran fossils and […]
solar energy The nuclear power industry, founded by Bill Gates, is looking to build small, high-tech nuclear power plants that will increase the ability to store electricity from renewable sources such as wind power in power grids.
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, continue to grow in popularity. However, due to the intermittency of these types of energies, it can be difficult to store them in power grids and use them when needed. Bill Gates’ nuclear power industry is looking to improve upon this by creating small, high-tech nuclear […]
