These important developments will do just that technological and medical progress which will form the basis.

highlights and interesting While we list what happened, we would also like to point out that there are plenty of developments in 2023.

GLP-1 drugs; It not only treats obesity but also protects health.

In the Science Magazine 2023 compilation “Breakthrough of the year” GLP-1 drugs were chosen as the These drugs, used to treat obesity, which is one of the biggest public health problems, are more than the obesity drugs that have been around for many years and are full of failures.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) mimics the intestinal hormone. Although it was discovered in the 1980s, it wasn’t until 2023 that the story was completed. GLP-1 was initially developed only for diabetes, but after many studies reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack was also found.

Thanks to the medicine weight is not just lost It also offers other health benefits. This ensures that GLP-1 is chosen as the “Invention of the Year”.

A black hole has been discovered that is much larger than previously thought.

An international group of researchers has measured small time variations in radio signals from pulsar stars discovered cosmic waves. These low-frequency gravitational waves, which are traveling through the Milky Way for the first time, were detected billions of light years away. distant echoes of black holes.

The findings of the discovery reveal that the early universe much larger black hole It means to be found. Continuing to study gravitational waves could also reveal other details about the origins of the universe.

Mind reading device that will bring hope to those who have lost the ability to speak

Although this device is not technically possible in the field of mind reading, the University of Texas has conducted a study that will be among the “best” of 2023 with its artificial intelligence-based systems. Semantic decoder, It’s based on how the person responds to things like a podcast or an image. System, dictionary of brain activities and then uses the dictionary as a cross-reference to other things the person observes.

Although mental privacy and ethical rules have come onto the agenda with this research, the system Those who have communication disorders and lose the ability to speak It shines a light of hope for you.

Phosphorus discovered on Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, shows that life may be possible there.

Previously, five of the six elements needed to sustain life (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur) were found on Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. The last element in 2023 Phosphorus was also found. This means that Saturn is a strong candidate for extraterrestrial life.

Artificial intelligence continued unabated in 2023 and was used effectively in science.

ChatGPT and others artificial intelligence tools, From the moment it was released, it attracted great interest and was used by everyone. Some achievements of artificial intelligence, which have found a wide place in science, remained on the agenda during the year.

with a language model Ancestorhas a predictable function protein sequences He showed he could produce. Trained on 280 million protein samples, Progen appears as a multimodal model.

In April, ChatGPT was measured for quality and empathy in responding to online medical questions. performed better than doctors was seen. In May, the artificial intelligence tool tested patients up to three years before diagnosis, using only their medical records. people at highest risk for pancreatic cancer successfully determined.

Of course, there is more than this to the achievements of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can do things in a very short time that humans can do in months. important contributions to science continues to be provided.

The largest whole-brain connectome ever created.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created the first map showing how every neuron in the brain is connected. fruit fly larva There are 3016 neurons and 548,000 synapses on this map.

Thanks to this research, signals travel through the brain at a neural level. behavior and learning It will be possible to understand the basic principles that lead to this.

Synthetic human embryos have been created that eliminate the need for eggs and sperm.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology have discovered a revolutionary discovery synthetic human embryo made. These synthetic embryos, which resemble embryos at the earliest stage of human development, impact of genetic disorders and it was a discovery that would support the biological causes of miscarriages.

The search for natural hydrogen is increasing.

Hydrogen was also included in Science Magazine’s scientific developments of the year. From fossil fuels to green fuels Research has been conducted into hydrogen for some time now, which is expected to play a major role in the transition.

In 1987, a hydrogen-seeking borehole in Mali exploded and was subsequently sealed with concrete. In the hole that was reopened in 2012 98 percent hydrogen found it. By connecting a generator to the source, a All the village’s electricity was produced. The only waste from the system was water.

The study conducted in 2023 showed that the hydrogen pressure in the bore has not decreased since 2012. So this is a source deep in the earth, replenishes the hydrogen in the borehole resources.

This discovery naturally accelerated the search for hydrogen sources and led to further research. more than 100 million dollars investments were made.

Human genome project that will lead to the detection of even a single cancer cell

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have developed a software tool to assemble complete genome sequences from different species. This software called Verkko, He sketched the genome of a group of individuals with different genetic characteristics from different continents.

Many researchers have successfully mapped the entire Y chromosome, revealing the discovery of 41 additional genes. These developments will not only improve the accuracy of DNA sequencing for the male reproductive chromosome, but also It will also help identify genetic conditions. The ability to uncover genetic roots will be another benefit of the human genome project.

Apart from what we mentioned of course space travel, artificial intelligence and health Researches have been conducted in many areas such as. In addition to this content, which we have compiled from dozens of studies in 2023, you can also discuss other scientific developments below.
