21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)...

Seitdem die Forscher der Firma OpenAI ihr Chatbot ChatGPT für registrierte Nutzer öffentlich zugänglich gemacht hat, wird viel über darüber in den Medien diskutiert. Für die, die es noch nicht mitbekommen haben: ChatGPT ist ein Sprachmodell, eine künstliche Intelligenz (KI), mit der man sich nicht nur unterhalten kann, sondern die auch erstaunlich realistische Inhalte verfasst. Im Prinzip ist ChatGPT ein Textgenerator: man gibt eine Frage ein und erhält eine Antwort. Was unter anderem für die aktuelle Faszination sorgt, ist die hohe Qualität der Antworten, die ChatGPT liefert. 

Parkinson’s disease is an insidious disease: by the time it manifests as the typical motor dysfunctions such as tremors or muscle rigidity, portions of the brain have already been irreversibly destroyed. By this stage, the disease will have often begun already decades earlier.

In search of an early portent of the disease, researchers led by Prof. Paul Wilmes, head of the Eco-Systems Biology Group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg, may now have found one in the gut: they have shown that the bacterial community in the gut of Parkinson’s patients differs from that of healthy people even at a very early stage of the disease. The researchers present their results in the scientific journal “Movement Disorders”.

When we think about clothing, we usually think of it as something we wear to cover our body, convey our style and protect us from the environment. What if the cloth changes its visual appearance when you stretch your hand?... such mechanoresponsive material has enormous potential in a large range of transformative applications in the beauty and health industry.

Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer (CLCE) is a structurally coloured polymer system capable of changing its colour by mechanical deformation, due to the coupling of colour of helically aligned liquid crystal molecules and the viscoelasticity of rubber. Prof. Jan Lagerwall, Dr. Yong Geng and Rijeesh Kizhakidathazhath at the University of Luxembourg created colour-changing CLCE fibres that can be easily sewn into the fabric.
