Estimated so far. A study published in the journal Science (New Window) (in English) shows that now isolated populations … [Read more…]

Scientists are developing 3D DNA nanorobots, and according to a former Google researcher, humanity could achieve immortality by 2030 thanks to these nanorobots – embarce.developpez.com

Researchers at New York and Ningbo Universities in China announce that they have developed reproductive-capable 3D DNA nanorobots. These tiny robots could be used on missions to search for and destroy cancer cells or collect toxic waste. Researchers are using a new method to fold DNA in three dimensions, enabling unlimited self-replication. These advances build … [Read more…]
