Chair et Métal - L'Humanité augmentée

In experiments involving a simulation of the human esophagus and stomach, researchers at MIT, the University of Sheffield, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have demonstrated a tiny origami robot that can unfold itsel

As a proponent of attaining indefinite human longevity through the progress of medical science and technology, I am frequently asked to address key questions about the effects that indefinite life extension would have on human incentives, behaviors, and societies. Here, I offer my outlook on what some of these impacts would be.

Scott Hassan estime que la vie est trop courte pour prendre les transports en commun. Les robots peuvent bien se déplacer à notre place.

The researchers say an invisible film composed of polymers can be applied to the face and could make bags under the eyes, wrinkles and other dermatologic problems vanish.

With a new device, which for the first time integrates natural human vision with artificial vision, patients with advanced eye disease have had some of their sight restored.

Si vous avez vu le film Re-Animator, c'est ce que propose de réaliser Bioquark. Ils veulent réellement remettre en marche le cerveau de personnes décédées.

We will defeat cancer thanks to a combination of technologies: personalized nutrition, genomic sequencing, artificial intelligence and nanobots.

Sony has a filed a patent for smart contact lenses that will allow you to record and play back video. The Japanese tech giants describe the idea as “a contact lens and storage medium capable of controlling an image pickup unit provided in the contact lens.”

Un pas de plus vers l’homme augmenté. C’est ce que souhaite réaliser Google à travers un brevet déposé pour une lentille connectée intraoculaire, aux applications multiples et apparentées à de la science-fiction. C’est le magazine américain Forbes qui a eu connaissance de ce brevet. C’est clairement un premier pas de réalisé vers le transhumanisme. Ceux qui ont suivi la série d’anthologie britannique Black Mirror connaissent déjà les possibilités offertes par cette technologie, ses dégâts aussi. Le concept de lentille connectée n’est cependant pas nouveau. En 2014, Google annonçait déjà avoir signé avec la société Alcon, filiale de Novartis, pour la production de lentilles connectées destinées aux personnes diabétiques, permettant de suivre l’évolution de la glycémie seconde par seconde en analysant le contenu des …

Facial surgery can require bone to be removed, and material has to be harvested from elsewhere in the body to fill in the gaps. New research could provide an alternative, creating custom-made, 3D-printed implants from a mixture of plastic and bone powder.

Découvert, en 2014, par les lecteurs de "We Demain", Nicolas Huchet est devenu une icône du mouvement "maker".

This is incredible.

Après avoir perdu l'un de ses doigts, l'ingénieur américain Nick Brookins a mis au point une prothèse imprimée en 3D. Ses plans sont en libre accès sur internet.

Northwestern University researchers have a 'Trojan horse' strategy for treating asthma and allergies. HowStuffWorks Now explains.

The development of efficient and reliable ways to make precise, targeted changes to the genome of living cells is a long-standing goal for biomedical researchers. Recently, a new tool based on a bacterial CRISPR-associated protein-9 nuclease (Cas9) from Streptococcus pyogenes has generated considerable excitement (1). This follows several attempts over the years to manipulate gene function, including homologous recombination (2) and RNA interference (RNAi) (3). RNAi, in particular, became a laboratory staple enabling inexpensive and high-throughput interrogation of gene function (4, 5), but it is hampered by providing only temporary inhibition of gene function and unpredictable off-target effects (6). Other recent approaches to targeted genome modification – zinc-finger nucleases [ZFNs, (7)] and transcription-activator like effector nucleases [TALENs (8)]– enable researchers to generate permanent mutations by introducing doublestranded breaks to activate repair pathways. These approaches are costly and time-consuming to engineer, limiting their widespread use, particularly for large scale, high-throughput studies.

An international study, published in the journal Science has led to a promising breakthrough in the field of anti-aging medicine. A vitamin called nicotinamide riboside (NR) -- already known to boost metabolism -- has been found to restore the body's ability to regenerate and repair itself.

Google has patented a new technology that would let the company inject a computerized lens directly into your eyeball.

Bioquark n'est pas une entreprise comme les autres et pour cause car elle travaille sur une technologie permettant de... ranimer les morts. Pas sûr que ce soit
