“New research from the University of Michigan proffers a way for robots to understand the mechanisms of tools, and other real-world articulated objects, by creating Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) objects that demonstrate the way these objects move, potentially allowing the robot to interact with them and use them without tedious dedicated preconfiguration.”

“At the highest level, the reason we’re building Earth-2 is to be able to predict and monitor climate change, but also develop strategies to mitigate and adapt to change,” Karthik Kashinath, principal engineer at NVIDIA and engineering lead for the Earth-2 initiative”

“Stanford University researchers have discovered a rapid and sustainable way to synthetically produce a promising cancer-fighting compound right in the lab. The compound's availability has been limited because its only currently known natural source is a single plant species that grows solely in a small rainforest region of Northeastern Australia.”

“In the new study, Cambridge scientists discovered not just a new mechanism for metastasis, but completely recontextualized its role. It’s long been thought that metastasis was an abnormal process that arises in cancer, but the new study found that it’s a process used by healthy cells as well – cancer just hijacks it for its own purposes.”

“These findings are among the most important to have come out of my lab for three decades,” said Professor Richard Gilbertson, Group Leader of the study. “Not only have we identified one of the elusive drivers of metastasis, but we have also turned a commonly held understanding of this on its head, showing how cancer hijacks processes in healthy cells for its own gains. If validated through further research, this could have far-reaching implications for how we prevent cancer from spreading and allow us to manipulate this process to repair damaged organs.”

The team now plans to investigate ways to take advantage of this discovery to prevent metastasis, including repurposing existing drugs.”

“Our brains are among the most complex objects in the known universe. Deciphering how they work could bring tremendous benefits, from finding ways to treat brain diseases and neurological disorders to inspiring new forms of machine intelligence.

But a critical starting point is coming up with a parts list. While everyone knows that brains are primarily made up of neurons, there are a dazzling array of different types of these cells. That’s not to mention the various kinds of glial cells that make up the connective tissue of the brain and play a crucial supporting role.

That’s why the National Institutes of Health’s BRAIN Initiative has just announced $500 million in funding over five years for an effort to characterize and map neuronal and other types of cells across the entire human brain. The project will be spearheaded by the Allen Institute in Seattle, but involves collaborations across 17 other institutions in the US, Europe, and Japan.

These awards will enable researchers to explore the multifaceted characteristics of the more than 200 billion neurons and non-neuronal cells in the human brain at unprecedented detail and scale,” John Ngai, director of the NIH BRAIN Initiative, said in a statement.”

“Vincent Pasque’s team at KU Leuven has developed the first model for a specific type of human embryo cells, extraembryonic mesoderm cells. Professor Pasque: “These cells generate the first blood in an embryo, help to attach the embryo to the future placenta, and play a role in forming the primitive umbilical cord. In humans, this type of cell appears at an earlier developmental stage than in mouse embryos, and there might be other important differences between species. That makes our model especially important: research in mice may not give us answers that also apply to humans.”

The model cells were created by the researchers using human stem cells, which can still grow into all cell types in an embryo. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in human embryos and hence serve as an excellent model for that cell type.”

“Professor Vincent Pasque and his colleagues at KU Leuven have used stem cells to create a new kind of human cell in the lab. The new cells closely mirror their natural counterparts in early human embryos. As a result, scientists are better able to understand what occurs just after an embryo implants in the womb. The was recently published in the journal Cell Stem Cell.”

“Leak-free pipe constructed of self-assembling, self-repairing nanotubes that can link to different biostructures is a huge step toward developing a nanotube network that might one day carry specialized drugs, proteins, and molecules to specified cells in the human body. The highly precise measurements were recently outlined in Science Advances.”

That too. Telekinesis will be enabled in VR too tho remember that. I think they are both languages in their own nature. They are tunable via the magic 3, energy, frequencies and vibrations. This is all simulated btw, we are already gods. Bees, ants and other species communicate in a mindhive like manner which can be identified as either or (telepathy and telekinesis).
