CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat, and its name refers to the short repeating DNA sequences stored in the genomes of bacteria and other microorganisms. This system helps bacteria and other microorganisms to be immune from viral attacks, as seen on the figure above. What makes this mechanism game-changing is that we can apply this system with the Cas9 enzyme and gRNA, which now becomes the CRISPR-Cas9 system – a gene-editing tool capable of modifying genes of organisms, such as plants, animals, and even humans. This new system can help induce genomic mutations through cutting a part in a sequence of the DNA of an organism (courtesy of the Cas9 enzyme), guided by the g(guide)RNA. This revolutionary technology is much more efficient than previous DNA editing techniques, and will become a staple in the future genetic research. Some applications include possibly providing cures to some genetic disorders and designer babies (babies genetically-engineered with specific traits)

Psychology and the search for life's meaning: Positive Psychology.

What is it that makes life fulfilling and worth living? It was the question Martin Seligman, the pioneer of positive psychology, popped in with his colleagues in 1998 when he chose this topic to be the theme for his presidency at the American Psychological Association.

With this, scientists ran researches but none of them seemed to measure the most obvious and easiest topic, which is happiness.

Ever since, scientists responded to this that by the year 2014, studies about happiness were over 10,000 per year.

Positive Psychology seeks to study how one person could live a good life. Happiness was the most prominent subject studied along with this and even became the face of this branding.

Up to this day, positive psychology has emerged with therapy, schools, businesses, even the U.S. Army, character strengths, optimism, life satisfaction, wellbeing, gratitude, compassion, self-compassion, self-esteem & self-confidence, hope, and elevation, aside from happiness.

Flood-Resistant Crops

"Without efforts to ensure our crops adapt, the security of the world's food supply is at risk." - University of California

Crops are typically imported and exported through other countries in agricultural countries, and we benefit from them. However, when the rainy season begins, the majority of crops will perish due to excessive flooding. Thanks to new research, flood-resistant crops were developed and discovered. In the study, the researchers looked at cells that live at the tips of plant roots, as roots are the first responders to a flood. These areas contain cells that can assist a plant in becoming more resistant to flooding. Drilling down even further, the researchers examined the genes in these root tip cells to determine whether and how their genes were activated when they were submerged in water and deprived of oxygen. They discovered that the genes responsible for flooding adaptations are known as, Submergence up-regulated families (SURFs). This trend is likely to continue as the climate continues to change.

Human’s senses are an essential part of our body. Each sense provides unique information that our brain interprets in order to respond to information about our environment, which aids in our survival. When something interferes with the function of our senses, it can limit our interactions with the world around us or make certain activities more difficult.

One of the most important senses is the sense of touch. The sense of touch conveys important social information, which aids in the strengthening of interpersonal bonds. The sense of touch enables us to do many things even when we are blind, such as grasping objects or walking. It also enables us to receive data about our internal and external environments. But what if we've lost our ability to feel?

Bionic Skin made possible for people who lost their sense of touch feel their missing limbs again. This helped them to feel again something they haven’t felt for many years and go back to their old life. It also helps people who was born with missing limbs to feel complete and enjoy their life. This invention gave back the life of people’s sensitivity not only through the way of just a prosthetics but it lets people feel like it is their own hands and skin.

Nikola Tesla the inventor of Alternating Current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission.  AC is a type of current in which the electrons periodically change direction back and forth. AC has the ability to transport electricity over a long distance. Most devices (large factories, houses, villages, buildings, etc.) that are directly connected to the electrical grid operate on alternating current, and electrical outlets in homes and commercial areas supply alternating current as well. Devices that require Direct Current (DC), like laptops, usually have an AC adapter that converts alternating current to direct current. Alternating current is the current of choice globally as it has many clear advantages compared to direct current.

In 7.9 billion people around the world, there are 422 million people that have diabetes, and every year about 1.6 million deaths are being recorded because of it. Anton H. Clemens invented and created the first blood glucose meter and glucose self-monitoring system in 1970. These are also known as a glucometer, and it helps monitor the fluctuating glucose level of patients especially those who are suffering from diabetes. It assists the healthcare workers, just by looking at patients' blood glucose profiles, in diagnosing and scheduling their patients' activities and medication. A blood glucose profile is a snapshot of a person's blood glucose fluctuations the whole day. Also, it helps patients in monitoring and controlling their blood glucose levels even at home. With this invention, we can prevent and lessen the damage of low and high glucose levels to the body's heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

When the engine is still being built, people in that era are living their lives as they always have, with nothing to make their lives simpler. People generally suffer from a lack of transportation and are unable to go around in a timely manner. When George Brayton of the United States created the first commercially accessible liquid-fueled engine, it improved people's lives, at least for the wealthy, but as time passes, engines are becoming more and more inexpensive. Because of how quickly we can go to locations, this can help our civilization advance. I believe we would not be where we are now if transportation had not been invented. I believe that the engine had a significant positive impact on us.

In the mid 1900s, the well known German scientist Paul Ehrlich set about developing medications to treat infectious illnesses. He was the person who coined the term  "chemotherapy" and characterized it as the use of chemicals to treat illness. Over the years, chemotherapy drugs (chemo) have effectively treated many individuals with cancer. Chemotherapy may shrink your cancer or hinder its development, which may help you live more and help with your side effects. Chemotherapy stays outstanding amongst other approaches to treat cancer because it attacks cancer cells that we can see, yet can't eliminate through surgery or radiation. Furthermore, it is the best and frankly, the best way to treat the cancer cells we can't see. If you have chemotherapy after surgery, this may reduce the odds of the cancer coming back. Cancer treatment is improving and evolving quickly, more (and better) prescriptions and steady treatments are accessible to assist patients prevent and manage potential side effects. At present, there's no evident cure for cancer. However, recent advances in medicine and technology are helping us to create a cure. Through chemotherapy, individuals with curable and incurable cancer can improve their quality of life.

Stove, a device used for heating or cooking, a device that almost every kitchen has in the modern day. The first ever stove recorded in history was built in 1490, Alasce.

Today, there are two main types of stoves, the gas stove and the electric stove.

The main difference between the two is a gas stove is better than an electric stove in terms of total energy consumption. Although, gas stoves can potentially create more indoor pollution than electric stoves if it's not ventilated to the outside, and the fracked gas that fuels your stove is a threat to water quality, public health, and the climate.

In conclusion, one of them is more efficient while the other is potentially cleaner, which makes it tricky to recommend a "best choice."

Stoves are one of the most important cooking appliances there is today. This technology helped us have an easier way to cook food which greatly helped in our survival. Although stoves cannot replace the traditional way of creating fire, it will still be of great help to people.

As time progresses and various things evolve, many discoveries have been contributed by research. Accordingly, the agricultural sector employed new ways of planting because of such findings. It includes hydroponics. Hydroponics are the growing of plants by submerging it in water and eliminating soil. It only uses water and nutrients in order to grow various fruits and vegetables. It was discovered by William Frederick Gericke while conducting research at the University of California. He was also the one who named this way of growing plants.

It has numerous advantages to the environment and society. First, it helps in the preservation of water. Due to its name, people can get the wrong impression that it uses excessive water. However, it actually preserves water because water used for the plants can be recirculated; contrary to when it is being seeped by the soil. More so, the use of harmful chemicals that can ruin the plants and environment (such as pesticides) can be avoided. Since soil is not used, soil-related diseases, bugs, and pests cannot infect the plants. It also saves a lot of money due to its low maintenance nature and lesser need for labor. Furthermore, it facilitates a micro-climate which means that it has its own house or structure away from harmful pests. Conditions inside this hydroponic house can be controlled, hence crops can be grown throughout the year. Lastly, it produces higher quality fruits and vegetables, and grows more crops than normal farming.

DNA is a molecule that keeps the genetic information of a human person. Recombinant DNA, invented by Herbert W. Boyer, Stanley N. Cohen and Paul Berg, is the process of taking a piece of one DNA and combining it with another DNA strand. It is a technology that made it possible to insert a human gene to genetic material of a common bacterium. The most common recombinant process is the production of insulins. Scientists build the human insulin gene in the laboratory, then, they remove a loop of bacterial DNA known as a plasmid before inserting the human insulin gene into the bacterial DNA. It is then put into fermentation tanks before purifying it to produce human insulin.

This process has helped many people with production of various vaccines and gene therapy. It is important to note that this could not have been achieved without the help of research, thus, solidifying the fact that research studies are crucial to the society.

In the 1940s, people who were diagnosed with mental disorders like melancholy (what we now know as depression) and schizophrenia were lobotomized. A lobotomy is a form of psychosurgery that uses a leucotome (medical instrument shaped like an icepick) to penetrate the brain and sever the connections in the prefrontal cortex. Most of the people who were obliviously subjected to this inhumane process were left bedridden, and others had negative side effects like seizures, lethargy, incontinence, and change in personality. Thankfully, members of society started to notice the problem and took it upon their hands to solve it. Not long after, lobotomy was deemed "contrary to the principles of humanity" by The Soviet Union and was banned in several countries like Japan and Germany during the 1950s. At present, we now have a better understanding of how to ethically help and treat people with mental disorders.  This can be done by (1) Talk Therapy which was developed and improved by research psychologists like Sigmund Freud, Joseph Breuer, Carl Rogers, and Albert Ellis. Secondly, treatment can be done with the help of psychoactive medicines like antidepressants which were invented by Roland Kuhn in a psychiatric hospital. These drugs increase the activity of chemicals called neurotransmitters in the brain which would help lessen the symptoms of depression and anxiety. All that we know now are worth decades and even centuries of research passed on from one scholar to the next. The torch is now passed on to us so we can pave the way for a better and healthier society.

The history of medical oxygen begins in the 1770s when scientists Joseph Priestly and Karl Scheele independently isolated oxygen gas. By the time medical oxygen lived on as a quack remedy, researchers were insisting on whether continuous application of oxygen could save lives or not. In 1970, in a study of patients with severe pulmonary disease, it was discovered that while 62% of those who were untreated died, only 28% of patients receiving continuous oxygen did. This eventually put an end to the controversy, paving the way for greater research into the myriad benefits of oxygen in the subsequent 50 years.

Oxygen is a critical component of patient care at all levels of the healthcare system. It became a life-saver for COVID-19 patients who developed pneumonia and low blood oxygen level called hypoxaemia. In many cases, the Sars CoV-2 virus can cause lung inflammation. Hypoxaemia, the leading cause of death among COVID-19 patients, can occur in the most extreme situations. Patients could regain regular breathing with the help of oxygen therapy. To keep patients alive, they may be placed on a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine or a ventilator if they require more oxygen.
