• New technology from California-based, AI chipmaker NVIDIA is capable of creating full-scale 3D objects like Michalangelo's David sculpture solely from 2D short videoclips
• The AI software is called Neuralangelo
• It's capable of generating life-like replicas of buildings, sculptures and much more, allowing for the recreation of the real world in the digital world
• The AI tool is being hailed for its authenticity and ability to capture fine details
• 3D generation is one of the most difficult and complicated tasks that AI is attempting to master
• Experts say the Neuralangelo software has moved the process considerably ahead.

• Mercedes has unveiled a stunning new concept, the Vision One-Eleven, which is a look at the future of driving an electric supercar
• Powered by 4, new, YASA axial-flux electric motors with a total of 1,920 hp and 2,360 lb-ft of torque
• Motors are 1/3rd the weight of conventional radial flux motors & compact enough to be mounted in the wheels
• Augmented Reality goggles for driving with 180-degree views
• Gullwing doors
• Stunning, sleek, aerodynamic design
• 46-inches tall, low front end, muscular back & huge wheels
• Front light display can post messages to other drivers
• Space age, lounge-like interior with huge HD infotainment screen
• EV is a tribute to 1970's MB C111 experimental prototype
• It's a spectacular new car design from MB which many would love to see go into production.

• Global scientists are studying Bowhead whales to determine why they live over 200 years and are almost cancer free
• Their goal is to determine how humans might enjoy the same longevity and cancer resistance
• New research findings from scientists at the University of Rochester in New York found that the whales, which are native to the Arctic, have a rare ability to repair their damaged DNA which, in turn, slows the aging process
• Despite averaging 80 tons with a huge number of cells, Bowheads are not prone to cancer
• Scientists found they have high amounts of 2 proteins - CIBP & RPA2, which are integral to the DNA repair process
• Humans have a much less developed DNA repair process than the whales
• Scientists want to determine what makes the whales' process so efficient & possibly find applications for human longevity and cancer prevention.
