Pesquisadores liderados por ETH Professor Martin Fussenegger no Departamento de Ciência e Engenharia Biosystems (D-BSSE) em Basel ter produzido células beta artificiais utilizando uma abordagem de engenharia simples.

As células artificiais beta pode fazer tudo o que as naturais fazem: eles medem a concentração de glicose no sangue e produz insulina suficiente para reduzir eficazmente o nível de açúcar no sangue. Os pesquisadores ETH apresentou o seu desenvolvimento na última edição da revista Ciência.

In a new blow for the futuristic “supersymmetry” theory of the universe’s basic anatomy, experts reported fresh evidence Monday of subatomic activity consistent with the mainstream Standard Model of particle physics.

New data from ultra high-speed proton collisions at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) showed an exotic particle dubbed the “beauty quark” behaves as predicted by the Standard Model, said a paper in the journal Nature Physics.

Previous attempts at measuring the beauty quark’s rare transformation into a so-called “up quark” had yielded conflicting results. That prompted scientists to propose an explanation beyond the Standard Model—possibly supersymmetry.

The scientists who support Project Blue are already thinking about how future explorers could get to the planets around Alpha Centauri.

Planting a flag in Europe for the development of the kind of “deep technology” companies that have long been the bread and butter of Silicon Valley, the European venture firm Atomico has invested 10 million euros in the vertical take-off and landing plane developer, Lilium Aviation.

The roughly $10.7 million Series A investment announced at TechCrunch Disrupt London is meant to help Lilium develop into a manufacturer of a commuter alternative to helicopters and traditional planes.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, flying cars have ranked right up there with jetpacks as an example of the fulfillment of our expectations for future travel (I still think the Uber and Lyft app is pretty magical).
