Large Combination Antiaging Research Update

Aubrey de Grey reports on the large mouse study of combination antiaging treatments. The survival curves are definitely approaching the stage where we can draw tentative conclusions concerning average lifespan. What we won’t be able to do for a good six months yet, probably more like nine months, is speculate even tentatively about maximum lifespan, …

LPP Fusion explains why Tungsten and Beryllium electrodes for their dense plasma fusion reactor work

The LPP Fusion research team is still working with the tungsten electrodes but they know the beryllium electrodes will be needed soon. Tungsten is being used now because of its extreme resistance to the heat generated by runaway electrons during the early stages of FF-1’s pulse. They are combining that thermal resistance with a technique …

First 3D Metamaterials will enable higher resolution ultrasound, stealth submarines and other applications

Researchers have developed the first three dimensional metamaterials by combining physico-chemical formulation and microfluidics technology. This is a new generation of soft metamaterials that are easier to shape. In their experiment, the researchers got ultrasonic oscillations to move backwards while the energy carried by the wave moved forwards. Their work opens up new prospects, especially …
