Many people thought I was way too optimistic with my prediction (read the Popular Science article) about artificial wombs in 2004 with my Vice Motherboard story (which went viral). It turns out the tech is coming sooner than many imagined. Enjoy! http://www.popsci.com/artificial-womb-science-fiction #transhumanism

A bag-like device kept lamb fetuses alive longer than anything else has before. What does that mean for human pregnancy? Read on.

24 Natural DHT Blockers to Stay Away From

I don’t advocate natural DHT blockers and especially not natural DHT blockers. I advocate increasing DHT to the maximal. DHT is the greatest male hormone to have roamed the body. This post is to show you what to stay away from in terms of DHT.

DHT gets a lot of shit for prostate issues and hair loss. I haven’t seen a single conclusive study though. Some studies say its the DHT/testosterone ratio that causes hair loss, some say its low testosterone, and others say its high DHT. Bottom line is there is no conclusion.

Even if DHT cause hair loss, I don’t give a damn. Its just hair and nothing else. I’m going to stay far away from these 24 natural DHT blockers.

The 33rd annual Space Symposium wrapped up recently in Colorado and New Atlas was on hand to check out some of the exhibits and talks. Amidst the rocket models, jet engines and satellites, we found a quiet corner to sit down with Scott Fouse, the vice president of Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center. For our One Big Question series, we wanted to get his thoughts on what reaching for the stars will look like in the future, so we asked him: What will space exploration look like in 2040?

In the far future, tricorders are invented and humanity spends many centuries prospering due in part to their widespread adoption. It’s too early to tell whether we’re on that timeline or a different one, but rest assured that one part of Gene Roddenberry’s quixotic vision for the future has indeed come to pass. Tricorders are coming to the mass market, courtesy of the just-awarded Tricorder XPrize.

The $2.5 million first prize went to Final Frontier Medical Devices, a team of seven including four Trekkie siblings, for their DxtER diagnostic device (below).
