“Hidden Breakthroughs: 69 Scientific Marvels That Shocked Experts but Were Ignored by the World”
Segway. No one cared.
The Protein Folding Problem has been largely solved.
We can take a string of amino acids and predict the structure with a high degree of accuracy in minutes. This used to take years.
The knowledge gained from this will change medicine and evolution in ways that we cannot yet comprehend.
As a geologist, the discovery of mantle blobs and the latest theory that they may be debris from whatever early planetary collision that formed moon is f*****g wild.
That in 2022, we achieved net positive fusion energy, or Q=1. More recently we’ve gotten Q=2.3.
We did it on 1970 laser technology. Our modern stuff just needs to be technically proven in this high power setup. Just need to make the cheap industrial high power lasers and array towards a reaction chamber. We could have real fusion power plants in the next five to ten years.
Photons behave differently when they’re being observed by a human or instrument vs. when they’re not being observed.
Still a lot more to do here but we recently discovered a potential explanation for how environmental and metabolic factors influence the expression of certain genes in our DNA: amyloid proteins.
This is remarkable because it partially redeems long-debunked genetic theorists like Lamarck, Lysenko and Ivan Michurin who thought environmental factors were the primary drivers of heritability, and believed DNA was over-sold in this regard.
