The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Sam Worley
April 18, 2019

Scientists are using 42,000-year-old DNA to try to clone an extinct horse, they’re harnessing human cells to 3D-print a functional heart for transplant, and they’ve figured out a way to construct a DNA material capable of metabolism — that’s to say, it contains some of the properties of life. There’s a lot of trippy stuff going on in this week’s coolest scientific discoveries, but here’s the bottom line: It’s aliiiiiiiiiiiiive!

The province of North Kivu, in the northeast corner of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has been ravaged by war for much of the last two decades. But this summer, the nearly 6 million people who live there had to fight a new kind of vicious enemy — Ebola. As of Aug. 8, the World Health Organization had received reports of 44 cases, 17 of them confirmed, of this rare but deadly hemorrhagic fever caused by the Ebola virus.

The World Health Organization declared that smallpox had been eradicated in 1979, but the possibility that variola, the virus that causes this deadly illness, could surface in the form of a bioweapon engineered in a lab has worried military and public health planners ever since. A weaponized version immune to existing vaccine stockpiles could put billions of people at risk. In the event of an attack, scientists would have precious hours to develop and mass-produce an antidote.

A New Zealand Company Provides The Truth For Serum Used In Biopharmaceuticals

Kristin Kloberdanz
July 17, 2017
When most people think about vaccines, they don’t think about cows. But fetal bovine serum (FBS), a blood byproduct of the meat industry, is a crucial building block for vaccines. So scientists making the vaccines need to know precisely which country the serum is coming from because the serum could contain specific bovine viruses or infectious agents.

A real flying car landed at the Paris Air Show, Michelin unveiled a vision for 3D-printed tires you will never have to replace, and a team in North Carolina developed a smart patch that “harvests” body heat and turns it into electricity. What a powerful idea!
