While we learn to navigate the new iOS system and plug dirty sentences into ChatGPT, scientists have been hard at work cultivating the future of our technological landscape. 


Over the past several months, experts have been toiling away, developing groundbreaking new drugs for diseases like Alzheimer's and Melanoma, using IVF technology to save the white rhino, and growing mini human brains likely just to spice things up. 


From A.I. that can detect alien life to "coral gyms" aimed at keeping reefs vibrant and healthy, here are 20 shocking technological breakthroughs that prove we're inching closer and closer to the singularity.

    The FDA recently approved Amtagvi, a novel cellular treatment that is "designed to fight off advanced forms of melanoma by extracting and replicating T cells derived from a patient's tumor.”

    Donanemab, a new drug from Eli Lilly, was able to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s by roughly a third. "We are now entering the time of disease modification, where we might realistically hope to treat and maintain someone with Alzheimer's disease, with long-term disease management rather than palliative and supportive care," explained neurologist Dr. Cath Mummery.

    Scientists have tested an “inverse vaccine” on mice. They’re unsure whether this tactic is "applicable to human disease in which we don't know the antigen,” but they suspect it could help people with autoimmune diseases have less of an immune response from vaccines.

    Scientists recently discovered that space time is warped by gravity. To quote SETI Institute astro physicist, Michael Lam: “What we measure is the Earth kind of moving in this sea. It's bobbing around — and it's not just bobbing up and down, it's bobbing in all directions."
