American scientists are developing a pill that provides the benefits of exercise without the need to move a muscle. In tests in mice with the second drug, the rodents were able to run up to 44 more without requiring prior training, suggesting that humans could do the same.

Researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven and the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology have succeeded in erasing unpleasant memories from memory in mice using a kind of genetic switch. The results of their research have been published in the journal Biological Psychiatry.

Dr. John McGhee, Director of the 3D Visualization Aesthetics Laboratory at the UNSW Center for Art and Design, Australia, has used real data, obtained with a high-resolution electron microscope at the University of Queensland, to recreate a human breast cancer cell in a three-dimensional interface.

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have developed sunglasses with organic solar cells in their lenses, capable of generating electricity to supply two sensors, a processor and two small screens located on the temples. they are flexible, transparent and light; and they can be manufactured in multiple shapes and colors.

We are living in a very exciting time in terms of science and technology, in which things that we have always considered science fiction, are becoming normal things of our day to day, the amazing thing about all these scientific discoveries is that they are creating technologies that we they allow us to make new advances much faster, that is, our capacity for innovation is increasing “exponentially” as the years go by.

According to researchers at MIT, the day is getting closer when people will be able to eat their favorite dishes without gaining weight and live up to 120 years without suffering from diseases related to age and diet, such as diabetes or cancer. They have known for many years that controlled fasting can increase the lifespan of mammals by up to 50 and that, furthermore, mammals that have followed fasting programs do not suffer from the usual diseases of old age.
