In some circumstances, is yield farming with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) another term for wash trading? Yield farming is the process of getting tokens in return for providing crypto assets to fledgling marketplaces. The activity surged this summer starting with decentralized finance (DeFi) money markets like Compound. But now the game has migrated to other markets as well. Just like players at arcades, yield farmers put in money and get tokens in return. Then they use those tokens to play video games, hoping to win a prize by beating the game. In the NFT space, this dynamic is being pioneered by Rarible, […]

True to his earlier promises, Musk is promoting the idea that intracranial interfaces must be developed in order to cure brain-related conditions and eventually to enhance human capabilities. The founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, has shared new details about another one of his projects, a brain-computer interface called Neuralink, confirming on Twitter that at some point in the future, it will allow people to “listen” to music without actually using their ears. The feature was announced by Musk while promoting his yet-to-be-released product’s other capabilities, such as its potential ability to fix brain/spine injuries and work in conjunction with […]

According to professor Anders Fomsgaard, the vaccine boosts cell immunity, which safeguards against the virus by eliminating infected cells. As scientists worldwide are working to develop a way to protect people against the coronavirus, Denmark’s State Serum Institute (SSI) has presented a new candidate for a COVID-19 vaccine. The candidate vaccine – known as CoVAXIX – is a so-called DNA vaccine. It is not contagious and is seen as “very safe”. So far it has been successful on mice. After a handful of trials, the SSI called the project “promising”. Trials revealed that the SSI vaccine helps develop antibodies that neutralise […]
Burger King has pledged to do its bit to combat global warming by attempting to reduce cow farts through dietary changes – but only for a limited time. The move was instantly mocked on social media as superficial pandering. “Cow farts & burps are no laughing matter,” the restaurant chain tweeted on Tuesday, declaring that it will be changing its livestock’s diet “to reduce emissions” by around 33 percent. The company aims to achieve this target by adding some lemongrass to the animals’ menu. The seriousness of the decision was perhaps undermined by the country music video accompanying the tweet, which […]

The pharmaceutical firm Moderna has reported good results so far in trials of its novel-coronavirus vaccine, inspiring cautious optimism in scientists scrambling to contain the damage from the ongoing pandemic. But these same scientists warn against getting too excited about early results, however positive.
