A lot has happened in the world of science in the past 10 years. From water on Mars to memory manipulation to a crazy thing called “dark matter,” everything on this list proves that if the next decade is anywhere near as important for science as the last, we are truly living in exciting times.
10 The Reprogramming Of Stem Cells
Stem cells are pretty cool. They are just like any other cell in your body—except they possess the innate ability to change into any kind of cell they like at will. This means they can turn into, for example, a red blood cell if that’s what your body lacks right now. This is a huge deal for regenerative medicine, since this is a single source that can provide cells needed to repair damage done to your body by disease.
9 The Largest Black Hole Ever Discovered
In 2009, a team of astronomers set about measuring the mass of a black hole that had been recently discovered, dubbed S5 0014+81.
8 Memory Manipulation
In 2014, scientists Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu made negative memories in the brain of mice are viewed by the mice as positive, and vice-versa. They implanted light-sensitive proteins into the mice and, you guessed it, shined a light into their eyes.
7. A Computer Chip That Mimics the Human Brain
Containing 5.4 billion transistors and consuming 10,000 times less power than conventional computer chips, SyNAPSE works by simulating the synapses found in your brain. 256 million of them, to be precise.
6 A Step Closer To World Robot Domination
In 2014 (wow, a lot happened in 2014), 1,024 “kilobots” received the task to arrange themselves into the shape of a star. Without any further instructions, they worked together and came together in a perfect star shape.
5 Dark Matter’s Existence Confirmed
In 2009, several US laboratories announced they had captured dark matter on sensors inside an iron ore mine half a mile underground. Two particles had been detected exhibiting all the suspected characteristics of dark matter.
4 Is There Life On Mars?
In 2015, NASA released images showing long, dark streaks on the surface of the red planet that appear and disappear throughout the seasons.
3 Reusable Rockets
SpaceX, the private space exploration company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has managed on several occasions to land a rocket on a remote-controlled barge in the middle of the ocean.
2 Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time that travel at the speed of light. They were predicted by Albert Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity, which states that mass curves space-time.
1. Trappist-1
TRAPPIST-1 is the name given to the star system approximately 39 light-years away from our solar system. So, what makes it so special? Oh, not much. Besides it is having a star 12 times less massive than our sun, with at least seven planets orbiting around it—three of which are inside the habitable zone that could potentially harbor life.
