Conception is starting with blood cells from female donors and trying to transform these into the first “proof-of-concept human egg” made in the lab. The company hasn’t done it yet—nor has anyone else. There are still scientific puzzles to overcome, but Krisiloff sent out an email to supporters earlier this year saying his startup might be “the first in the world to accomplish this goal in the not-too-distant future.” It says that artificial eggs “could become one of the most important technologies ever created.”

That’s no exaggeration. If scientists can generate supplies of eggs, it would break the rules of reproduction as we know them. Women without ovaries—for example, because of cancer or surgery—might be able to have biologically related children. What’s more, lab-made eggs would cancel the age limits on female fertility, allowing women to have related babies at 50 60, or even beyond.

The Large Hadron Collider might have just discovered new physics https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/the-large-hadron-collider-might-have-just-discovered-new-physics Mon, 01 Nov 2021 03:23:46 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/the-large-hadron-collider-might-have-just-discovered-new-physics

Yay 😃


CERN’s gargantuan particle collider could change everything by discovering a new force of nature.

Diesel-Killing Locomotive Of The Future Runs On Solar Power https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/diesel-killing-locomotive-of-the-future-runs-on-solar-power Mon, 01 Nov 2021 03:23:37 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/diesel-killing-locomotive-of-the-future-runs-on-solar-power

This rolling sheet of solar panels may not look like much, but it could help spark a solar power revolution in the railroad industry.


The creators of the solar-powered locomotive of the future were aiming to set a Guinness record for speed last weekend, and that is more than just your ordinary attention-getting stunt. Demonstrating the functionality of PV panels on rail cars could help set the stage for solar power to knock diesel fuel out of the railroad business. No word yet on the official results, but solar is beginning to wiggle its way into a field dominated by fossil fuel.

The Solar Train Of The Future Hits The Tracks, With Only Solar Power

When people say “solar train,” they usually mean a battery-powered train charged by solar panels parked in a solar farm, such as the UK’s Riding Sunbeams project. In other words, the solar power is there, but it is not actually along for the ride.

The highest amplification in tiny nanoscale devices https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/the-highest-amplification-in-tiny-nanoscale-devices Mon, 01 Nov 2021 03:22:31 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/the-highest-amplification-in-tiny-nanoscale-devices

A team of researchers from the University of Florida, led by Dr. Philip Feng, in collaboration with Prof. Steven Shaw in Florida Institute of Technology, has now demonstrated extremely high-efficient mechanical signal amplification in nanoscale mechanical resonators operating at radio frequency. The devices employed in this research might be the tiniest mechanical resonators exhibiting amplification, and the gain achieved is the highest known for all mechanical devices reported to date.

The displacement is realized based on “parametric pumping or parametric amplification” of mechanical motion. Parametric amplification can be mainly achieved when a parameter of system is modulated by twice multiples of the . A simple example of parametric amplification is a child playing a swing. The child can periodically stand and squat twice in a single period of the swing to increase or “amplify” the swing amplitude without anyone helping to push.

The researchers have realized the parametric amplification in the tiny nanoscale devices. The nanoscale drumhead mechanical parametric amplifiers demonstrated in this research consist of an atomically thin two-dimensional semiconducting molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membrane where the thickness of the drumheads is 0.7, 2.8, 7.7 nanometer with 1.8 micrometer in diameter and 0.0018–0.020 m3 in volume. The nanodrums are fabricated by transferring nanosheet exfoliated from bulk crystal over microcavities to make suspended atomically thin nanodrums.

Wealthy Chinese Shift Focus From Making Money to Protecting It https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/wealthy-chinese-shift-focus-from-making-money-to-protecting-it Mon, 01 Nov 2021 02:22:59 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/wealthy-chinese-shift-focus-from-making-money-to-protecting-it

China’s rich aren’t sleeping well these days. As President Xi Jinping’s campaign to redistribute income gains momentum, the wealthy are on the defensive, deleting social media profiles and moving money around with an eye toward the next crackdown.

The new emphasis on protection is a shift for the upper classes, who have for years benefited from stellar economic growth and a relaxed official attitude to personal fortune. The country created a new billionaire every week in 2,021 bringing the total to more than 750 — more than India, Russia and Germany combined and just behind an estimated 830 in the U.S., according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

This is the radical tech NASA needs to focus on, says ‘October Sky’ engineer https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/this-is-the-radical-tech-nasa-needs-to-focus-on-says-october-sky-engineer Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:22:17 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/10/this-is-the-radical-tech-nasa-needs-to-focus-on-says-october-sky-engineer

Here’s why.


Homer Hickam is the author of Rocket Boys, the book that inspired the film October Sky. The NASA engineer reveals why he thinks the agency should focus on nuclear rockets and other ideas.
