Meet the Oscars, the first unit organization Just a few years ago, the very idea of 3D printed organs or bone was something that was limited only in the realm of science fiction. But now experts predict that patients will be able to have access to 3D printed tissue within the next decade, something that causes many debates but also raises many ethical issues. We can only replace the existing tissue, or we can improve ourselves and; If we can create functional bodies, Why don't we create an entirely new life form; In an effort to make us think about these issues, the Dutch filmmaker Floris Kaayk recently published his work "The Modular Body", consisting of 56 clips which show and describe in detail the creation of a bio-printed plasma called Oscar. The project is surrounded by an extreme privacy, as Kaayk wants to believe is real and raises more interest and discussion around the. The Modular Body is a fairly staggering task, It says the (Luckily fictional) history of the Oscars, a deformed creature who needs daily fresh blood to live, and created in the lab by scientist Cornelis Vlasman who leads a team of Dutch scientists.

- Lava formations under the seabed Underwater volcanoes erupt quite often, and the flowing lava creates impressive formations on the seabed. The most prolific volcanic systems on Earth are hidden beneath the ocean depths. Scientists have estimated that there could be more than a million underwater volcanoes around the world.

- The DART spacecraft crashes into asteroid to change its trajectory After 10 months of space travel, the DART probe hit its target by dropping more than 20.000 km/h in the asteroid Dimorphos located about 11 million kilometers from Earth. The purpose of the mission was to deflect the orbit of the asteroid in order to protect us from an asteroid heading towards our planet. The images were captured by the probe before impact with the approximately 160-meter-diameter asteroid. It will take a few weeks for scientists to confirm that the asteroid has indeed deviated from its orbit.
