When Craig Venter, the star of genome technology, joins forces in an investment with Apple and Google, you know it’s something big! Theoretically, if we were to decode the basic cellular structure of human beings, we would be protected from all forms of damage or deterioration. In essence, we would become immortal and no longer have to fear the rise of artificial intelligence as humans would replace machines. Is this a desirable effect? Our entire...

Over the past few years, technology has made life quicker and simpler for more and more people. Some people are now taking the next step: they are fusing their bodies with technology to increase their abilities and expand their senses, becoming real life cyborgs. They inject magnets into their fingers to sense electromagnetic fields, plant chips under the skin to open doors, implant devices into the skull with which they sharpen their senses. These...

Description
The CARMAT heart is the world's first fully implantable, self-regulating artificial heart. It was created by renowned French cardiologist Alain Carpentier who spent nearly two-and-a-half decades developing a mechanical pump that accurately replicates the contractions of a human heart. Unlike similar devices that simply maintain an unchanging rhythmic pulse, Carpentier's device adjusts the volume of blood it pumps according to the needs of the human...
Description
The two inventions by Arminas Ragauskas and his colleagues at the Health Telematics Science Center at Kaunas University of Technology offer a safe and accurate method to non-invasively measure intra-cranial pressure and brain blood flow autoregulation, respectively, employing ultrasound waves instead of costly and potentially dangerous invasive surgery and implantation of invasive sensors into the brain. If left unchecked, the pressure can increase...
Description
Anton van Zanten has dedicated a lifetime of invention to the improvement of automotive safety technology, most notably in the field of vehicle collision prevention. His milestone contributions include the widely marketed Electronic Stability Control system (ESC) - also known as ESP (Electronic Stability Program) - an electronic guidance technology that helps to avoid skidding under loss of surface traction, including aquaplaning or braking on snow...

Description
The invention by French neurosurgeon and physicist Benabid is a novel treatment approach to neurological conditions, known as high-frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS relies on a surgical procedure during which doctors insert a high-frequency electrical probe into the patient's brain - worn permanently like a pace maker - which can then be used to administer electrical charges at controlled intensities of 130 HZ to targeted regions of the...

It is the birth of neutrino astronomy. For the first time, astrophysicists can detect extraterrestrial neutrinos in the ice in the South Pole. Neutrinos are the most common and also most mysterious elementary particles. Since these particles are invisible to us, their mass is unknown. Also, they are not electrically charged and rarely interact with other matter. Each of the tiny neutrinos is a potential messenger with information about its origin....
