Since humanity first imagined the reality of intelligent machines, we've been afraid that they'll overpower us one day.

A crowdfunding platform aims to solve the puzzle of aging

Aging happens to all of us, but scientists still don’t know the mechanism behind it. We need to focus on finding an answer, says molecular biologist Oliver Medvedik.
