#ScifiVsReality The Chinese company Betavolt Technology has developed a radionuclide battery that could power smartphones without the hassle of recharging. The nuclear battery, planned for 2025, can supply power for up to 50 years. #Scifi #NuclearBattery buff.ly/41Y7GHC
#ScifiVsReality Pie charts are among the most popular graphics, but most experts avoid #PieCharts. Why? Small percentages are quickly misrepresented and challenging to read. For colour-blind people, the chart is almost impossible to interpret. #Scifi buff.ly/2Z9E8IZ
#ScifiVsReality Multi-resistant germs are a significant problem, especially in hospitals. Researchers have discovered a new class of #antibiotics that can kill these bacteria. Zosurabalpine has proven to be highly effective in the laborator. #Scifi buff.ly/47qUs7h

#ScifiVsReality Dive into the future! China is making waves in data storage with an underwater data center,leveraging the power of 6 million PCs! By 2025, 100 of these oceanic data hubs will save 122 million kWh yearly, equal to 160,000 citizens’. #Scifi buff.ly/3NcLVxN
#ScifiVsReality Exciting Breakthrough in MS Treatment! First-of-Its-Kind Trial Sparks Hope for Multiple Sclerosis Patients. Over 2 million worldwide affected. Stem cells, the body's 'master cells,' injected into brains show promising results. #Scifi #MS buff.ly/3uGQJVD
#ScifiVsReality A vegan diet is not only good for the climate but also health. According to research, insulin levels and the risk of heart attack fell, and weight was reduced compared to the control group that ate meat. #vegan #GoVegan #Scifi buff.ly/47MFcmw
#ScifiVsReality When you talk about the climate crisis, you quickly fly. For the first time, a commercial aircraft has flown on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), sustainable petrol made from sugar and fat. #FFF #ClimateCrisis buff.ly/3N8Q2ee
#ScifiVsReality Researchers have discovered that it is beneficial for a newborn's language skills if they are exposed to language in the womb. This means that learning begins even before birth. There is evidence that we can recognise music #Newborn #Scifi buff.ly/47yfF0c
#ScifiVsReality Our brain cannot functionally reorganise itself, according to scientists. If a study participant regains cognitive function, it is more likely that the brain will increase computational capacity, drawing on pre-existing functions. #Scifi buff.ly/3uz7jqu.
#ScifiVsReality On Friday (17th November), the global average temperature was more than two degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial level for the first time since records began - Era of global boiling has arrived. #Scifi #FFF buff.ly/40NXp08
