Designing the perfect heart for humans

Gene editing was an essential factor in the first successful pig-to-human heart transplant performed on January 7, 2022. One month later, the recipient continues to recover with no signs of rejection. Over the next ten years, as information technology takes over medicine, radical breakthroughs like this will become commonplace.  Here is what’s coming next…

Genetic Engineering and the Fight Against Covid-19

Genetic Engineering and the Fight Against Covid-19

Scientists have been studying the creation of genetic code to fight diseases for 30 years. Yet, it was only last year that this became a reality. In 2020, the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines revealed the power of genetic engineering to quickly reprogram biology away from disease. This marked the beginning of a new era in medicine.

Vertical Farming: When Food Production Becomes Information Technology

There is a glitch in our agricultural system – it is weather dependent. We are constantly chasing the perfect environment to grow the perfect crops. By the time our produce makes it to our tables it may have spent weeks or even months in storage, on ships and trucks. But Ray Kurzweil sees a paradigm shift coming to agriculture that is going to change everything. It's called vertical farming.
