Elon Musk Tweets he has ‘Verbal’ OK To Build N.Y.-D.C. Underground Hyperloop

Posted by | Jul 20, 2017 | |

Earlier today entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted that he received “verbal government approval” to build an underground one tube train transit network. In a few tweets this morning he detailed that the system would connect passengers to city centers in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. If the underground One tube train transit network were actually built, it would become the longest tunnel in the world. Such a project would combine two of Musk’s interests in the underground tunnels he’s currently digging with The Boring Company and the fast-moving rail system known as the One tube Hyperloop train. One...

Genetic Engineering Algae to Save our Coral Reefs

Posted by | Jul 20, 2017 | |

Coral reefs are our oceans breathtakingly beautiful forests which support a multitude of sea life and act as a natural shielding for coastal regions. Higher sea temperatures from global warming force corals to discharge the symbiotic algae (called Symbiodinium) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. These colorful “rainforests of the sea” can live through a bleaching event, but they are under more strain and are subject to high rates of die-off. But pollution from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to ocean acidification which limits corals ability to grow and repair. So ocean acidification on...

New Immunotherapy Approach Uses Engineered Macrophages to Attack Solid Tumors

Posted by | Jul 20, 2017 | |

Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that are the “first responders” of the immune system, attacking and digesting cellular debris and foreign microbes. In theory, macrophages should also destroy cancerous cells, but in reality cancer cells give off the same chemical signals as healthy ones, essentially going undetected by our “first responders” of the immune system. Sometimes the immune system does detect cancer cells, but the response is not strong enough. In response, researchers have used strategies to boost the immune system via immunotherapy treatments to help the immune system detect cancer cells and bolster its response...

Projecting Sharp, True Color, Realistic Looking Holograms Efficiently

Posted by | Jul 19, 2017 | |

Many of us not so young folks got our first look at the concept of holograms in the iconic scene from Star Wars, in which R2-D2 projects a hologram of Princess Leia saying, “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope?” Holography is essentially a photographic technique that projects the light reflected from an object. Today holograms are mostly static images, that make your eyes and brain believe you’re seeing something in 3-D, but most of them aren’t really all that persuasive. A team of University of Utah electrical and computer engineers are working feverishly to be the first...
