    ‘De-extinction’ company Colossal Biosciences have announced the healthy births of their latest effort to bring prehistoric animals back from beyond the grave - ‘dire wolves’.
    Today, the dire wolf was made famous by the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, as companions of the Stark family, but it was in fact an American canid that had previously been extinct for over 12,500 years.
    The successful birth of three ‘dire wolves’ is the latest attempt by Colossal to ‘de-extinct’ animals - a project that to date has resulted in mice with wooly mammoth genes.
    “I could not be more proud of the team. This massive milestone is the first of many coming examples demonstrating that our end-to-end de-extinction technology stack works,” says CEO of Colossal Ben Lamm. “Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies. It was once said, ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ Today, our team gets to unveil some of the magic they are working on and its broader impact on conservation.”
    Additionally, Colossal has birthed two litters of cloned red wolves, the most critically endangered wolf in the world, using a new approach to non-invasive blood cloning.
    The three litters of Colossal’s dire wolves include two adolescent males (Romulus and Remus) and one female puppy (Khaleesi). Colossal also birthed two litters of red wolves from three different genetic founder lines. These litters include one adolescent female red wolf (Hope) and three male red wolf puppies (Blaze, Cinder, and Ash).
    Sceptics, however, state that the grey wolf's genome is so similar to its dire wolf ancestor that it is difficult to say whether these are genuinely an example of de-extinction - or simply an example of genetically altering modern wolves to look like their legendary ancestor.

    The three litters of Colossal’s dire wolves include two adolescent males (Romulus and Remus) and one female puppy (Khaleesi). Colossal also birthed two litters of red wolves from three different genetic founder lines. These litters include one adolescent female red wolf (Hope) and three male red wolf puppies (Blaze, Cinder, and Ash).
    Sceptics, however, state that the grey wolf's genome is so similar to its dire wolf ancestor that it is difficult to say whether these are genuinely an example of de-extinction - or simply an example of genetically altering modern wolves to look like their legendary ancestor.

    ‘De-extinction’ company Colossal Biosciences have announced the healthy births of their latest effort to bring prehistoric animals back from beyond the grave - ‘dire wolves’.
    Today, the dire wolf was made famous by the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, as companions of the Stark family, but it was in fact an American canid that had previously been extinct for over 12,500 years.
    The successful birth of three ‘dire wolves’ is the latest attempt by Colossal to ‘de-extinct’ animals - a project that to date has resulted in mice with wooly mammoth genes.
    “I could not be more proud of the team. This massive milestone is the first of many coming examples demonstrating that our end-to-end de-extinction technology stack works,” says CEO of Colossal Ben Lamm. “Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies. It was once said, ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ Today, our team gets to unveil some of the magic they are working on and its broader impact on conservation.”

    Researchers have built virtual reality goggles for mice -  to help study human brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s.The mini VR headsets were created using low-cost, off-the-shelf components, such as smartwatch displays and tiny lenses.They rack the rodent’s eye movements and changes in pupil size.For experiments, a mouse stands on a treadmill, with its head fixed in place, as it peers into a pair of eye pieces. It’s neural activity patterns can then be fluorescently imaged.The technology is said to have the potential to help reveal the neural activity that informs spatial navigation and memory function.This would give scientists new insights into disorders such as Alzheimer’s and its potential treatments.The US team at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York State,   was led by biomedical engineering,  professor Chris Schaffer and assistant neurobiology and behaviour professor Ian Ellwood.

    OPS: A mouse on a treadmill staring into the specially made VR goggles.

    The world’s thinnest spaghetti, 200 times less thick than a human hair, has been created by researchers.
    The stringy pasta favourite is not intended to be a new food but was created because of the wide-ranging uses that extremely thin strands of material, called nanofibers, have in medicine and industry.
    Nanofibers made of starch – produced by most green plants to store excess glucose – are especially promising and could be used in bandages to aid wound healing, as scaffolding for bone regeneration and for drug delivery.
    However, they rely on starch being extracted from plant cells and purified, a process requiring much energy and water.
    A more environmentally friendly method, the researchers say, is to create nanofibers directly from a starch-rich ingredient like flour, which is the basis for pasta.
    The team from the UK’s University College London (UCL) made spaghetti just 372 nanometres , billionths of a metre, across using a technique called electrospinning.
    Threads of flour and liquid are pulled through the tip of a needle by an electric charge.
    The work was performed by chemistry master degree student Beatrice Britton.

    OPS: The world's thinnest spaghetti. The novel “nanopasta” formed a mat of nanofibers about 2 cm across that was visible,shown here.

    Human’s might one day be able to regenerate ageing cells to extend life spans after medical testing on humble fruit flies worked.
    A team of researchers in Japan transferred genes from simple organisms able to regenerate into those of the more complex fruit fly.
    It was discovered that the transferred gene suppressed an age-related intestinal issue in the flies.
    The results suggest that studying genes specific to animals with high regenerative capability may uncover new mechanisms for rejuvenating and extending the healthy lifespan of other unrelated species.
    The intestinal health of the flies was tracked with a blue dye which led researchers to name them Smurfs after the blue skinned animated characters.
    The study was carried out by a team from the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

    OPS:The left two images show intestinal proteins of a fruit flay disrupted by aging, and those on the right show the same proteins better preserved against age-related mechanisms due to the genes transplant..

    Smiling for just a split second makes people more likely to see happiness in another person’s expressionless face, new research has discovered.

    And the finding could lead to new treatments for depression or disorders that affect expression, like Parkinson’s and autism.  

    Even a brief weak grin makes faces appear more joyful according to the study.

    The pioneering experiment used electrical stimulation to spark smiles in volunteers while they looked at digital avatars.

    The volunteers were asked to assess whether the avatar looked happy or sad.

    In half of the tests, the muscles in the volunteer that controlled smiling were activated at the revealing of the avatar’s face.

    A painless electric current manipulated muscles momentarily into action – creating a short uncontrollable smile. 

    By using computers, the team was able to control the onset of smiles with millisecond precision. 

    In total 47 people took part in the study at Essex University in the UK.

    OPS: An induced smile given to a volunteer. The experiment showed that when looking at an expressionless avatar face, inducing a smile in the volunteer made them regard the expresionless avatar as being happy.

    The rodents do not wear the lenses in a headset.

    Instead, the goggles are attached to the base of a VR system.

    Mice are placed close enough so that the lenses cover their entire field of vision.

    The mice can also run in place thanks to a treadmill.

    American football stars look bigger with a higher number of their jerseys a new science study has revealed.

    The investigation was started after a report by sports broadcast channel ESPN explored the reasons so many football wide receivers prefer to wear jersey numbers between 10 and 19.

    It found that many players believed the lower numbers made them look faster and slimmer than the higher numbers traditionally assigned to their position.

    A psychology and neuroscience professor at the University of California Los Angeles in the USA, Ladan Shams, told ESPN there was no scientific research on the topic.

    But now she has led a study that proves the theory.

    OPS:Research subjects consistently said that images of players in jerseys numbered from 10 to 19 (top line) looked thinner than those in jerseys numbered from 80 to 89 (bottom line)

    American football stars look bigger with a higher number of their jerseys a new science study has revealed.

    The investigation was started after a report by sports broadcast channel ESPN explored the reasons so many football wide receivers prefer to wear jersey numbers between 10 and 19.

    It found that many players believed the lower numbers made them look faster and slimmer than the higher numbers traditionally assigned to their position.

    A psychology and neuroscience professor at the University of California Los Angeles in the USA, Ladan Shams, told ESPN there was no scientific research on the topic.

    But now she has led a study that proves the theory.

    A way of flat printing 2D objects which can be turned into 3D items simply by immersing them in hot water has been developed by scientists.

    The technique uses origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

    These 2D printed shapes self-fold in seconds

    The team said 3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object.

    The process usually wastes a lot of material required to support the unfinished object.

    The researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material.

    For some time, 3D printing has been used to prototype products and is now seeing more use in the fabrication of commercial items, including even parts for jet engines.

    But every method of 3D fabrication comes with limitations, such as the long time taken to complete prints or the wastage of vestigial materials in printing.

    The new system allows printed objects to self-fold into complex 3D shapes under the right conditions.

    The team from the University of Tokyo in Japan have called this self-folding system 4D printing.
