Russia Developing its Own Hyperloop and Other Future Tech

It’s #FunFriday! And we’re back with the latest science and technology news for the day. Enjoy today’s digest!

Russia Developing its Own Hyperloop

After Elon Musk’s Hyperloop already has over 1000 companies fighting for the $150,000 winning prize, Russia is looking to develop a Hyperloop system of its own. Russian Minister of Transport Maxim Sokolov has stated that Russia, too, is building a Hyperloop system of its own.

At a recent press briefing in Sochi, Sokolov admitted having been familiar with the Hyperloop concept about 2 years ago at the St. Petersburg University of Transport and Communications. He claims that the technology has already been implemented in principle.

“If we assume the steps [to such technologies] In principle, Yes [we have achieved it]. In our transport strategy reflects the use of new means of transport, which can be attributed to this project. We are not just looking for such projects, but we understand that they are the future

Universal Treatment for Cancer Picks Up Pace with Successful Human Trails

From researchers trying to cure brain cancer using a new type of treatment to bringing back the dead with science, the world seems to be united in an effort to cure cancer once and for all. Now, a new type of universal cancer treatment by researchers at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany has been successfully tested on humans, paving the way for soon-to-be-discovered cure for cancer.

We recently reported about a similar type of treatment employing the use of borrowed T-cells to combat cancer. However, this treatment (called Immunotherapy) uses the body’s own immune system to shoot RNA at the specific antigen sites at the cancer site, forcing them to recognize them as a threat.

“[Such kind of] vaccines are fast and inexpensive to produce, and virtually any tumor antigen can be encoded by RNA. Thus, the nanoparticulate RNA immunotherapy approach introduced here may be regarded as a universally applicable novel vaccine class for cancer immunotherapy,” the researchers said.

Schizophrenic Patient Brain Might Heal Itself

A new study has revealed that brains of schizophrenic patients have the ability to limit and even reverse the heavy damage done in the initial stages of schizophrenia.

"Our results highlight that despite the severity of tissue damage, the brain of a patient with schizophrenia is constantly attempting to reorganize itself, possibly to rescue itself or limit the damage," said Dr. Lena Palaniyappan, Medical Director at the Prevention & Early Intervention Program for Psychoses at the London Health Sciences Centre.

Researchers, such as those working at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany, are pioneers of a movement to develop quality medical software products.
