What We Have Accomplished So Far in 2018

2018 has already brought some awesome breakthroughs. Sharing with you some of the important breakthroughs of this year so far.

Scientists began testing the world's first universal flu vaccine on humans, which could eventually eliminate the need for annual injections.

Scientists discovered clean-water ice just below Mars surface.

The drinkable water could be useful for future explorers and colonists.

Brain imaging reveals how Alzheimer's protein, called Tau, kills nerve cells.

The researchers found that the protein spreads in the brain like infections. Blocking it's spread could someday prevent the disease from taking hold.

Scientists discovered a promising anti-obesity drug, which can promote weight loss without suppressing appetite. It can also restore blood cholesterol levels to normal.

Researchers recreated the DNA of a man who died nearly 200 years ago. The DNA was created from his living descendants rather than his physical remains. The technique could revolutionalize archeology, medicinal cloning and forensics.

Researchers at NASA have invented a new space navigation technique, which could help guide spacecrafts into the far reaches of the universe.

The new X-ray based technique uses pulsars as guide stars.

Scientists are making carbon fiber from plants instead of petroleum paving the way for lighter and cheaper cars that consume less fuel.

Researchers discovered a direct proof that the Ozone layer is indeed a healing. Thanks to the global efforts of banning harmful chemicals in 1987. The Ozone layer is expected to make full recovery by 2060.

Newly developed lens can focus all colors of the rainbow in the same spot. It will open new possibilities in virtual and augmented reality.

Researchers developed a therapeutic virus that can attack brain cancer. The virus also stimulates the patient's own immune system. It's the first virus to able to pass through the brain blood barrier.

Mathematicians discovered the largest prime number to date, its called M77232917, and it's the 50th prime number of its type. The newly found number has 23,249,425 digits. Nearly a million digits larger than the previous record holder.

A drug developed for diabetes proved efficient in treating Alzheimer's. The drug improved memory formation and the formation of new neurons. It also decreased the amount of toxic amyloid plaques in the brain and reduced both chronic inflamation and oxidative stress.

A drug developed for diabetes proved efficient in treating Alzheimer's. The drug improved memory formation and the formation of new neurons. It also decreased the amount of toxic amyloid plaques in the brain and reduced both chronic inflamation and oxidative stress.

Mathematicians discovered the largest prime number to date, its called `M77232917`, and it's the 50th prime number of its type. The newly found number has `23,249,425` digits. Nearly a million digits larger than the previous record holder.
