Salvatore Cezar Pais is a US Navy researcher. Salvatore has three amazing patents that would be incredible breakthroughs in physics if they are true. The least extreme is a patent for Piezoelectricity-Induced Room Temperature Superconductor. The other two patents are gravity wave generator and inertial mass reduction. If these could be realized as technologies then …
Elon Musk expects at least 20 or 30 missions from each Falcon 9 block 5 booster rockets. Currently, the booster rockets have been reused 3 times with some recovered for their fourth launch. Thirty reuses of a first stage Falcon 9 block 5 could reduce the cost of the booster from $30 million to $1 …

CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system has made pluripotent stem cells that are functionally “invisible” to the immune system which will prevent rejection of stem cell transplants. Universal stem cells can be produced that will work for everyone and there will not be the need for personalized stem cells. This will bring mass production of stem cells for …
Wave Computing accelerates deep learning by using dataflow technology to eliminate the need for a host and co-processor in the processing of a neural network. In November, 2018, Wave Computing closed their Series E funding round at $86 million. Total investment in Wave is now over $200 million. Oakmont Corporation led the round. Open.ai has …
There are fears that the US will have a hot civil war. There is currently what has been described as a cold civil war.

Graphcore’s IPU (Intelligence Processing Unit) accelerators and Poplar software together make the fastest and most flexible platform for current and future machine intelligence applications, lowering the cost of AI in the cloud and datacenter, improving performance and efficiency by between 10x to 100x. Graphcore recently closed a new $200 million funding round which values the …
The Salk Institute discovered a potent neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory chemical in a native California shrub may lead to a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease based on a compound found in nature. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. …
Salk Institute researchers have used CRISPR/Cas9 therapy to suppress aging, enhance health and extend life span in mice. Above – This image shows two mice of the same age with progeria. The larger and healthier mouse on the left received the gene therapy, while the mouse on the right did not. Credit: Salk Institute They …
