Researchers create a harvesting system that can extract clean drinking water from air

A shortage of food supply sure is scary, but nothing is more troubling and alarming than the prospect of losing precious life-sustaining water. Now a group of scientists have developed a device that can extract clean drinking water right from the air. And not only is it possible in a general sense, but that water can reportedly be extracted from even the most arid places on Earth, thanks to this device.

The Dangers of Human Gene Editing

Perhaps no technology yet has been poised to change the world so profoundly. All life on Earth, every living organism, now stands the possibility of potentially being “edited” on the most basic genetic level, enhancing or degrading it, but forever changing it. Talk of gene editing usually revolves around its use to treat diseases and produce super-crops and livestock to “save the world.” But as history has shown us, any technology is but a double edged sword. Whatever good it is capable of, it is proportionally capable of just as much bad.

Heads Up, Couch Potatoes: TV Really Does Rot Your Brain

A new study suggests that a major fast-track toward cognitive decline is skipping the gym and sitting in front of the TV for hours and hours.
