Humans have always suffered from terrible diseases. It was not until the rise of enlightened thought throughout the 19th century that mankind began to effectively combat illness. Since then, advances in biological and medical sciences have defeated virtually incurable and formerly fatal diseases. However, despite our successes, there is a group of age-related cellular pathologies …
The human population is growing at an ever-increasing rate. In a world driven by energy, it is only a matter of time before we run out of our current energy sources, namely oil and coal. Therefore, providing clean and sustainable energy to everyone is at the top of the to-do list for roboticist all over …
Thinking about the future is always inspiring. The reason is simple: the history of past events cannot be changed, as they are written; the future, on the other hand, is neither constrained nor delimited by our understanding. Hence, many imaginative thinkers of past centuries dreamed of “impossible things” such as flying cars or holograms. Interestingly …

3D printing has come a long way since its invention back in the 1980s. The clunky mechanical components of old have been substituted out for refined, slick, and precision machined parts that enable additive manufacturing on a scale never seen before. Regardless, the throughput of the technology is still far behind that of conventional manufacturing …
With more and more focus being shifted on sustainable energy sources, investment in electric vehicles is at all-time highs. Of course, most of these vehicles are still conventionally manufactured, but OEMs have slowly started to employ the use of additive manufacturing technology in a bid to cut both costs and lead times. Tesla goes additive …
Everyone up to date on biotechnological advances has heard of the CRISPR system for editing genomes. But it is also true that there is a lot of fuss about this technology, and not for nothing. The original function of this bacterial system is one of the most ingenious ways for simple organisms to acquire immunity …

Allergies are increasingly common pathologies in human society. In the past, it was believed that they were due to an exaggerated reaction of the immune system to a specific antigen or a hypersensitive reaction. Today we know that it is actually the harmlessness of the external agent that leads to pathogenesis, paradoxically. In fact, there …
