While their purpose was unknown, a study published in the Cambridge Archaeological Journal in January 2023 suggests this may be the earliest notational system.
Biologist Shinya Yamanaka discovered a series of proteins capable of reconfiguring average cells into stem cells in 2012. This discovery is still being explored.
As of 2023, two teams from the United States have tested these proteins, discovering they may extend human lifespans and even reverse the effects of old age.
With the miniaturization of electronic devices seemingly hitting a plateau, the concept of the "metadevice" is being explored and may serve as the basis for 6G.
These liquid metal robots can support 30 times their weight when solid and are malleable enough to be stretched and manipulated to perform different tasks when liquid.
While 3-D printed products are often too brittle or malleable due to the ink’s limitations, researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering may have a solution.
They published a study in "Materials Today" on using living bacteria as an ingredient for "BactoInk." This ink is far more durable than conventional 3-D printed objects.
