1. Three Dimensional Moving Holograms Breakthrough Announced – A team led by University of Arizona (UA) optical sciences professor Nasser Peyghambarian has developed a new type of “holographic telepresence” that allows remote projection of a three-dimensional, moving image without the need for special eyewear such as 3D glasses or other auxiliary devices. The technology is likely to take applications ranging from telemedicine, advertising, updatable 3D maps and entertainment to a new level. Source: KurzweilAI.net
2. A Cure for the Common Cold? – Landmark research led by Dr. Leo James from the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LM in Cambridge UK has discovered that antibodies can fight viruses from within infected cells. This finding transforms the previous scientific understanding of our immunity to viral diseases like the common cold and gastroenteritis. It also gives scientists a different set of rules that pave the way to the next generation of antiviral drugs. Source:KurzweilAI.net
