Scientists are trying to revive the Tasmanian tiger
In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have achieved a remarkable feat – the isolation and sequencing of RNA molecules from an extinct species. This pioneering endeavor involved studying a well-preserved specimen of a Tasmanian tiger, which had been dried and stored at room temperature for over a century in a museum collection. The implications of this milestone are profound, particularly...
DARPA Readies Microchip Implant that can detect COVID-19, Could Hit Markets by 2021
The most significant scientific discovery since gravity has been hiding in plain sight for nearly a decade and its destructive potential to humanity is so enormous that the biggest war machine on the planet immediately deployed its vast resources to possess and control it, financing its research and development through agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Defense Advanced Research...
Mysterious newly discovered virus DEFIES EVOLUTION, current scientific understanding
Scientists in Japan have discovered a new type of virus which could redefine our understanding of viruses and how they propagate and spread, all while sifting through pig feces.
Unlike most other organisms which fall under the definition of ‘life,’ viruses have no cells: they are merely a particle of genetic material (RNA or DNA) within a protein shield that is capable of infecting a cell before...
China: “Genetically Edited” Babies Prove that All Human Attributes are Genetic, not Environmental
News that a doctor in China has produced the world’s first “gene-edited babies” has proven once again that all human attributes are genetic in origin, and not environmental, as the race-denying liberal establishment claims.
According to news reports, the Chinese team, led by He Jiankui of Southern University of Science and Technology of China in Shenzhen, used the CRISPR gene editing technique...
Ageing process Reversed in human cells for first time
Scientists have successfully reversed the process of ageing in cells for the first time in a move which could help beat the likes of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Many people hope to reverse the process of ageing in a bid to remain healthier and live longer or ultimately to live forever.
And now researchers have made a breakthrough.
As the body ages, it loses its ability to control how genes are regulated...
Human genes ‘continue to function after we die’
Cells in the body continue to function for a period after death, new Spanish research claims, with some genes even becoming more active when an individual shuffles off this mortal coil.
Scientists hope that this new discovery will help forensic scientists more accurately pinpoint the time of a person’s death. An international team examined 36 different types of tissue from 540 corpses to come to...
Curiosity Rover Finds Crucial Life-Sustaining Nitrogen on Mars
Scientists studying the Red Planet have for the first time detected nitrogen, a component crucial to the existence of life, extracted from nitrate molecules as a result of heating surface sediments, adding evidence that Mars could once have sustained life.
Carbon-based life is not possible without nitrogen. The element is required for the shaping of molecules such as DNA and RNA, both of which carry...
Mystery viral paralysis hits California
A mystery virus has provoked reports in California, in what appears to be a cluster of cases of viral paralysis, caused possibly by Enterovirus, which appears to have effects similar to poliomyelitis, or Polio, namely paralysis, in some cases in all four limbs.
The Polio virus, or Paralytic Poliomyelitis virus, is one of several Enteroviruses, and these attack and infect up to 50 million people every...
Italian scientists take first DNA image
Italian researchers expect to observe individual DNA molecules through a silicon pillars technique performed to observe the seven wires of the chain. Previously, the interpretation of the images required very complex mathematical calculations. Scientists at the University of Genoa have taken direct photographs of the seven strands of DNA.
Scientists at the University of Genoa, in the west of Italy,...
Discovery of World's Largest Virus in Chile Astounds Scientists
The world’s largest virus has been discovered off the coast of Las Cruces, Chile. Appropriately named Megavirus chilensis, it is about 10 to 20 times larger than the average virus and 6.5% bigger than its nearest competitor, the Mimivirus. The Megavirus measures about .7 micrometers (thousandths of a millimeter) in diameter and is an oddity among its virus brethren, which are usually smaller...
NASA Finds New Life
The new life forms up close, at five micrometers.
NASA has discovered a new life form, a bacteria called GFAJ-1 that is unlike anything currently living in planet Earth. It’s capable of using arsenic to build its DNA, RNA, proteins, and cell membranes. This changes everything. Updated.
NASA is saying that this is “life as we do not know it”. The reason is that all life on Earth is...
