We usually use macaques for this (I haven't read the paper). Is there a review paper comparing both creatures? If they are really better, I should look into procuring some. Macaques are quite expensive in north America.

They ought to rename themselves to biomedical hacking. Biohacking in contemporary usage usually refers to homebrew laboratory-grade biotechnology (those involving PCRs, gene modification, a ton of biochemistry). The dangerous things forum i

Molecular biology education needs more funding. Teaching it at scale (and more importantly, communicating new discoveries outside of textbooks) still remains a challenge. Keeping up with the field without reading papers is much harder compa

If tube fed diets are the trick, why not just go with Soylent? It's about as bacteria-free as food can reasonably get.

Anything biodegradable (in the composting sense) almost always does not last long absent significant chemical treatment. If you think current faux-leather technology is a step down from the real thing, then mycelium based products will be e

Why in the world would you need CRISPR or lab grown meat? Just sequence the DNA and send it off to a DNA assembly service. The price is a couple hundred bucks a pop. You don't have to replicate the entire DNA, just the segments used fo

Elemental hydrogen has this problem: it is hard to store. You need low temperatures, high pressure, and corrosion resistant containers. But there is one weird trick: if you bind hydrogen to carbon atoms, then you get best of both worlds. Th

Most commenters here are misunderstanding the paper. This is research on a wireless RF power transfer and low strength magnetic field sensing system for BCI sensors. It is not about BCI sensors itself. This is about wireless power transfe

Protein catalysts almost always contain an inorganic atom. We will be able to make more efficient catalysts with better understanding of protein structure but the need for metals won't necessarily go away.

The editor autocompletion and standard library documentation could use a lot of work. The introductory tutorials are overly focused on type theory and details and do not give a good overview of which generic data structures to use in produc
