Cloning technologies are being used to uncover the hidden medicines hiding in soil bacteria. You do not need to go too far back in recent history to find yourself in the golden age of medicine – a time when life-saving drugs were being discovered and developed at an unprecedented rate. Having been kick-started by the discovery of penicillin in the late 1920s, scientists spent the majority of the 20th century harvesting antibiotics, anticancer drugs and immunosuppressants from microbes living in the soil beneath our feet. These so-called natural products (NPs) were not just a source of new treatments; they formed the backbone of modern medicine. More than 500 life-saving treatments discovered during this golden age are still improving lives today – from penicillin, which remains a cornerstone…

Researchers at Meta are developing a wristband capable of controlling devices using subtle hand or finger gestures. A team from Reality Labs at Meta – Meta Platforms’ dedicated division for building hardware, software and research – have been working on another way to interact with technology on-the-go that does not require any input devices such as keyboards, just a wristband and hand gestures. This includes being able to move a cursor, open apps and send messages by writing in the air as if using a pencil. As the company said in a blogpost, “we believe that surface electromyography (sEMG) at the wrist is the key to unlocking the next paradigm shift in human-computer interaction (HCI)”. sEMG is a non-invasive method to measure muscle activity via sensors on the skin surface.
