What's the latest scientific or philisophical accomplishment /sci/?
Has a new branch been formed or has something revolutionary been created yet?

As a Biofag, I'd say CRISPR/Cas. That shit has amazing potential. There is an absolute glut of papers getting published that use it.

I proved Riemann hypothesis last Thursday.

So if this allows genome editing, then I can't wait to see what types of changes people decide make to DNA.

Yeah, but I hope theirs the possibility that these genetic alterations could lead to physical changes like perhaps genetically giving a human wings or something of that nature.

Still stuck with transistors.

Still waiting for optical circuits.

Now i'm kind of curious as to whether or not this might eliminate the need for antibiotics. Maybe one day superbugs won't be a problem.
