This is a gif and it’s (one of the) definitions of adorable. You need to check it out.  

Apparently, our cousins like fall too.

Hard Science

If the implants are successful in human trials, they could help restore vision for 2 million people with age-related macular degeneration.

Retinal Implants Could Restore Sight to More Than 2 Million People

Human trials are on the horizon for the potentially life-changing tech.

Obesity affects more than 600 million adults and around 41 million children under the age of 5 according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. 
Researchers may have found a way to halt the development of both type 2 diabetes and obesity in humans using a recently discovered protein.

Thanks to a Novel Protein, We Could Bring an End to Obesity

It was discovered unexpectedly from a common gut bacteria.

Enhanced Humans

Novartis has abandoned its 2014 goal to start testing two types of smart contact lenses —one for diabetics and one for people with far-sightedness — on humans in 2016.
If they do come to fruition, the lenses would join the growing pool of smart lenses that can administer medications, act like binoculars, and seamlessly connect us to the IoT.

We’ll Have to Wait a Little Longer for Autofocusing Contact Lenses

Our futuristic eyes won't be arriving just yet.

There weren’t many people who had heard of bioterrorism before 9/11. But shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, a wave of anthrax mailings diverted the attention of the public towards a new weapon in the arsenal of terrorists—bioterrorism. A US federal prosecutor found that an army biological researcher was responsible for mailing the anthrax-laced letters, which killed 5 […]

The Future of Extremism: Artificial Intelligence and Synthetic Biology Will Transform Terrorism

The future of terrorism will be high-tech. Will we be ready?

Predictions from the co-chair of the World Economic Forum’s Future Council, Melanie Walker, say we'll soon enter a post-hospital world due to advances in personalized medicine, health monitoring, and nanotechnology.
New and evolving technologies in medical science convince Walker we'll live in a society not dependent on hospitals by 2030.
