MINI BRAIN
Christopher Hadiono, a 16-year old high school student has redesigned a bioreactor that can hold more "mini-brains" at a lower price through 3D printing. The SpinΩ is now aiding studies on the Zika virus.

“We did not think that even a biotechnology graduate student could make this into a reality, once you have a good idea, that changes everything.”
While it’s current commercial versions cost around $2000, Hadiono’s bioreactor, named SpinΩ, costs around $400 and allows several devices to be run all at the same time due to its small size.

Human Longevity, Inc. raised more than $220 million. It has previously raised $80 million in 2014.
The ultimate goal of HLI is not only to keep a database on the world’s human genotypes and phenotypes, but also to subject this data to machine learning that has the ability to predict susceptibility to diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.

IBM HAS OFFERED CLOUD ACCESS TO THEIR QUANTUM
COMPUTER
Quantum computing is still very much in the early research stage, but IBM is hoping to
accelerate the progress around it by making a quantum computer available to researchers as a cloud service.

calling

While conventional systems are designed on binary principles (where opening/closing semiconductor gates represents on/off, or 0/1) quantum systems utilize “qubits’ which can be on, off or both on and off.

IBM has created its own quantum chip running at 5 qubits. It could take a machine running between 50 and 100 qubits to surpass the capabilities of today’s fastest super computers.

Augmented Reality: Holograms for everyday useThe technology is different from virtual reality headsets.
With augmented reality, you still see the real world – but with some digital embellishments.
Microsoft’s prototype augmented reality headset, the HoloLens, doesn’t even use a screen.
The device adjusts the scene before you by projecting light directly on to your retina, conjuring virtual objects that Microsoft calls holograms.

California’s minimum wage hikes are going to force logistics firms with low-paid warehouse workers to invest more heavily in robotic technology.
“It will increase the introduction of robotic technology with these companies,” he said. “That’s the conveyor belts and things that pack boxes and move them down the belt.
That sort of thing is going to increase, and it’s already been increasing.”John Husing Inland Empire Economist

DIVERSITYA huge revolution is taking place in the
technology industry, with women forming an increasing part of leadership and the entire tech
workforce – evidenced in part by fast growth in annual events such as the Women in Tech
Summit that takes place in several US cities.
Bridging the gender gap is a great place to be. Tech holds the reputation of being diverse in its
make up across nationalities, but gender remains a concern.
True diversity is more than visual however.
Real diversity requires difference in thought.

WHAT IS BITCOIN?
A consensus network that enables a new payment system that is entirely digital.
The first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority
or middlemen. It is a form of currency that is more stable per user than the fiat currency of many countries, some of
which are categorized as developed.

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.”
