SMACIN GRACEFULL TEAM Dioseve wants to help infertile people with tech that grows egg cells Based in Japan, biotech startup Dioseve’s ambitious goal is to grow human oocytes, or eggs, from other tissue. Its aim is to help people struggling with infertility, and it recently raised $3 million led by ANRI, with participation from Coral Capital. ADVERTISEMENT Dioseve’s mission might sound like it comes out of science fiction, but it’s based on a scientific technique called induced pluripotent cells stem (iPS) cells, which was first developed in 2006. ADVERTISEMENT The startup’s scientific advisor, Dr. Nobuhiko Hamazaki, a research specialist at the University of Washington, created Dioseve’s technology, called DIOLs (directly induced oocyte-like cells), which can turn iPS cells into oocytes en masse. DIOLs is currently in trials and has been published in scient

SMACIN GRACEFULL TEAM Scientists discover BEST EVER semiconductor material Scientists discover best ever semiconductor material Comfortably past the turn of the 21st century, what is that one thing that sapiens absolutely can’t do without in this modern era? Semiconductors. ADVERTISEMENT So what are Semiconductors and why are they so important? Found in a plethora of electronic products around the world, a semiconductor is a material that conducts electricity more than an insulator but less than a pure conductor, and this advantage of controlling conductivity via doping is what makes them a ground-breaking technological advancement. There are majorly three use cases, memory chips, microprocessors, and integrated chips. ADVERTISEMENT In simpler terms, it is an extremely crucial component of most (if not all) electronic devices and all that we see and use
