A new sequencing technique that maps out and analyzes DNA damage demonstrates how bacterial cells function in two critical excision repair proteins. The team’s research and discovery not only heralds the use of this new mapping technique, it could also pave the way for a solution that will help address antibiotic resistance.

After a Chinese factory replaced 90% of its human workforce with automated machines, it experienced a 250% increase in productivity and an 80% drop in defects. As technology improves, the range of tasks that can be taken over by automated systems will continue to expand, leaving the future of human labor in a state of flux.

Blockchain could be a tool to help organizations such as the United Nations meet goals meant to improve the lives of each person on Earth. The platform provides a system that can help tackle issues like poverty, hunger, equal rights, climate change, and clean energy.

Researchers were able to build an integrated circuit-based transmitter that can send data faster than fiber optic cables and 5G wireless networks. If this development leads to such speeds in wireless data transmission, all modern technology could be able to be improved, and communication technology would advance.
