In the future, a pig donor organ can be used for human heart transplantation. American specialists from the National Institutes of Health have worked for 10 years to improve the technology of human heart transplantation

Sometimes advances in modern technology can be mistaken for magic. Exact science works instead of magic

Ultimately, according to British experts, HIV can be completely eradicated

British doctors from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as University and King's Colleges in London, announced the first case of an adult cured of HIV infection. Reported by The Sunday Times

Researchers have found an antibody that can effectively suppress 96% of HIV strains. This can be an important step towards treating the disease. As you know, immune cells - B-lymphocytes - it's very hard to fight HIV

Scientists from Pennsylvania announced that they had carried out an unprecedented operation to remove HIV from the genome of a living being. The operation was carried out at the molecular level and using experimental technologies

Researchers from Germany have created a drug that is able to rid the body of the human immunodeficiency virus. Until then, only the symptoms of the latter had been effectively suppressed, according to the Nature website

On the territory of Russia, for the first time in the world, the technology for treating type 1 diabetes through xenotransplantation, that is, the transplantation of animal cells to humans, was approved for use and sale, writes New Scientist

A group of researchers from Nanjing Medical University issued an official statement. Genetically modified pigs should be born by the end of this year, providing doctors with a rich array of organs for transplantation

British physician Sam Parnia, who specializes in bringing the dead back to life, insists that outdated resuscitation methods are wasting lives that could have been saved

The technology of pre-implantation genetic screening NGS (next-generation sequencing), which allows, among other things, relatively quickly and inexpensively detecting chromosomal abnormalities in embryos obtained as a result of IVF, has successfully passed the first test

UK resident Michelle Morgan-Granger - one of the first patients to undergo groundbreaking surgery using bovine or cow heart tissue to heal and repair the liver

In the Chilean Atacama Desert, local scientists, along with colleagues from the Smithsonian Institution, studied the skeletons of 75 whales found here, which died about 2-7 million years ago. They all lay side by side, just a few meters from each other

Autonomous robot Promobot v.3 saved a child in the Perm Polytechnic. The girl nearly collapsed a rack of heavy equipment. The robot came to the rescue in time and held the rack

Every year, tens of thousands of people around the world are trapped in a vegetative state and, as you read this, they continue to be there - between life and death. Three scientists are working to free them

Neuroscientists have developed a technique that can alter cognitive and brain function. In other words, it is a technique that can improve brain performance

The study of death, as is known, can be accompanied by discoveries that are of value to life, as confirmed by biologists who have studied the phenomenon known as the "death spiral", which is a phase of the existence of a biological organism

Science has come close to the possibility of having children based on genetic material not from two, but from three parents at once

Strange, of course, but quite a natural question - Is it possible to unlock a smartphone using a dead body? The fingerprint of the corpse does not change, and in films it is often shown - cut off my finger and voila, I went to the right place

What you see in this photo is - the result of the action of the apparatus called the "Coin Reducer"

Physicists and engineers from Germany and Austria have developed very thin sensors that can interact with surrounding magnetic fields. By placing them on the skin, you can control virtual and real objects without touching them

We stumbled upon this device, forgotten, but very original and working, by chance: in Popular Science, Jun, 1956, literally a couple of paragraphs were devoted to it. It was especially remarkable that it was invented in Russia. Here's what was in the article:Today 470 views 403 reads 2 min

Abstract In recent assessments of the strategic prospects for the development of nuclear power, one can note the tendency of a condescending arrogant attitude towards thermonuclear energy, which, unfortunately, in large part corresponds to the real state of affairs

An incredibly strong, hardy mouse with extraordinary muscles was created by Swiss scientists from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne. Researchers have successfully reprogrammed rodent genes with interesting results

Scientists have theoretically substantiated the possibility of attracting objects through their interaction with quantum mechanical waves of probability

British physicists have created the first full-fledged "levitator" - a device capable of lifting and holding matter in the air - using peculiar acoustically analogs of holograms

Arx Pax, which created the Hendo hoverboard last year, has announced a partnership with NASA's aerospace agency and has begun work on a project to create technology that we have seen more than once only in science fiction films about space

A group of scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), during the ATLAS experiment, proved the existence of a phenomenon called light scattering by light

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is a universal constant

He is around us and allows us to see the world. But ask any of us, and most will not be able to explain what this light really is. Light helps us understand the world we live in
