scientific discoveries are being made every day that are changing the world we live in. This list contains some crazy scientific innovations—and they’ve all been made in June 2013. From physics to medicine to biology, the following stories are sure to blow your mind. Technological and medical advancements that most people believed would never happen in their lifetime, let alone at this very moment, are real and continuing to develop. These discoveries bring with them a myriad of new technology and techniques that will only grow and improve with time to make the world a better place to live in.


TELEKINESIS
Y'all remember jean grey from the xmen??
Being able to control the motion of objects may seem like the plot of a science fiction novel, but thanks to researchers from the Minnesota College of Science and Engineering, it’s now a reality. Using a noninvasive technique known as electroencephalography that harnesses brainwaves, five students were able to control the motion of a helicopter.

Facing in the opposite direction of the copter, students were able to move the vehicle in various directions by imagining themselves moving their left hand, right hand, and both hands. After some time and training, participants were soon able to get the helicopter to perform several maneuvers including passing through rings with an image of the flight being showed to them on a screen. Researchers are hoping to expand this new noninvasive brain wave technology to eventually restore motion, hearing, and sight in patients suffering from paralysis or neurodegeneration.

TINY BATTERY
With the recent invention of 3-D printers, the sky is the limit for the types of intricate and complex objects it can create. On June 18th, it was announced that a team of researchers at Harvard and the University of Illinois were able to synthesize a lithium-ion battery smaller than a grain of sand and less than the width of a human hair.

Researchers were able to achieve this astounding accomplishment through the delicate layering of a network of interlaced electrodes. After a 3-D design is complete on the computer, the printer uses specially made liquid inks containing electrodes designed to immediately harden once they hit the air. The device can serve a wide range of uses due to its size.

Prior to this battery, the existence of incredibly small battery-powered objects was few and far between. This is because devices designed to be incredibly small required batteries that were just as big as they were to give subsequent energy or they were given incredibly small batteries lacking any substantial power. The 3-D printer uses the inks and a detailed design from a computer program to be able to create the microbatteries.


Bioengineered Body Parts

I HATE MY NOSE!!! I WILL PROBABLY CUT IT OFF AND GET A NEW ONE.


a group of doctors at Duke University successfully implanted the first bioengineered blood vessel into a live patient. Though bioengineering has been advancing rapidly, this procedure was the first successful implant of any synthetically bioengineered body part.

Implanted into a patient suffering from the end stages of kidney disease, the vein had been synthesized from donated human cells that were then developed on a scaffold. In order to prevent any antibodies in the patient from attacking the foreign vessel, the qualities that could trigger the attack were removed. The vein has proved more successful in tests than synthetic or animal-based implants because they are not prone to clotting and don’t pose risk of infection during the surgery.

Incredibly, the veins are made of the same flexible materials that they’re connected to and even take on the properties of their cellular environment and other veins. With the success of this procedure, this emerging field has huge implications for further uses in the medical world. Soon, doctors hope to be bioengineering veins for heart disease and maybe even go on to bioengineer whole organs or body parts.

SIGHT FOR THE BLIND
The first bionic eye prototype was introduced by a team of Australian designers in early June. The bionic eye works by having a chip implanted into the user’s skull and then connected to a digital camera in the glasses. While the glasses currently only allow the user to see outlines, the prototype has a lot of promise to be improved upon in the future. Once the camera captures an image, the signal is changed and sent wirelessly to the microchip. From there, the signal activates spots on the microchip implanted into the visual cortex of the brain. The team of researchers is hoping to further the capabilities of the glasses while keeping them lightweight, adjustable, and comfortable for the wearer. It should be usable by 85 percent of people who are legally blind.


Immunity To Cancer

The University of Rochester published a study on June 19th suggesting the mechanism that allows naked mole rats to be immune to cancer. These creepy subterranean rodents may get a lot of heat for their looks, but they seem to be having the last laugh when it comes to their immunity to cancer.

A gooey sugar known as hyaluronan (HA) has been found in the spaces between naked mole rats’ cells, which seem to stop them from growing close together and forming tumors. The substance, acting like a parent chaperone at a high school dance, causes early contact inhibition, which is a process that stops cells from multiplying once they reach a certain density. A double mutation in the two enzymes that promote HA’s growth and reduce its breakdown is thought to be the reason for the elevated amount of the substance. Scientists tested the theory by infecting skin cells containing both high and low amounts of HA with cancer.

It was found that in the cell with low levels of HA, the cancer multiplied rapidly, but in cells with high HA, tumors failed to form. Scientists are hoping to modify laboratory rats to produce high amounts of HA in an attempt to make mice immune to cancer.
