Mice became young again! In March of 2017 a sensational discovery was published by Dr. Peter de Keizer, a Dutch Scientist at Eramsus MC in Rotterdam, in which he stated that he and his team had found a way to reverse aging in mice. ( Read the article by clicking here ) His research had been targeted toward fighting Cancer and slowing the aging process. But when they saw the results in mice, they were astonished: ‘These effects were not what we were purposefully looking for – we had been looking at the kidneys of the mice. But when we realised the implications, we started dancing in the lab,’ said De Keizer The compound is FOXO4-DRI which is relatively easy to produce. Which means it could become available for everyone. It is of-course fascinating and we all hope that this will be a significant step in aging more healthily! Don't try this at Home! Dr. de Keizer urges every one to wait until further test have been conducted. "Mice are...

Possible solution to drought stricken areas Dutch Artist/Inventor Ap Verheggen developed a device with a central unit costing €3, and created water out of thin air in the Mali desert! True, with the current design it took 6 hours to produce 1 glass of water, but if you have many of these devices then your are getting somewhere.  He had been working on the device in the Netherlands, but the humidity in Holland is always high, so creating water wasn't so difficult. It works by sufficiently cooling the air such that you reach the dew point and water starts to condensate. If you collect the water properly then you will produce pure clean water.

Of course he (and his team) will have to develop more robust water devices, but once developed you can think of many possibilities. May be in 10-20 years time the Sahara desert will ...
