This week: Radically extending lifespans with genetic engineering, wirelessly charging self-driving cars, suturing wounds with lasers, mile high skyscraper to be built in Japan, and Elon Musk wants to build an electric powered jet that can vertically take of and land. Scientists Can Now Radically Extend The Lifespans of Mice – And Humans Could Be Next With a bit of clever genetic engineering, a team of scientists has just found an astonishing way to  significantly expand the

This week: An Antarctic base on skis, combating dengue fever with GM mosquitoes, stem cell therapy to combat HIV, enormous skyscrapers packed with green tech, and a battle between giant robots. Antarctic Ski Station CONSTANT darkness, bone-chilling temperatures and cut off from the rest of the world. Living in Antarctica isn’t for the faint-hearted – and I should know, I overwintered there a while back. But at least I lived in a base built on rock; it’s quite another matter w
