It’s official, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which is currently the world’s largest digital camera, has been installed on the Simonyi Survey Telescope at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. Weighing nearly 6,200 pounds and measuring 5.5 ft (h) x 9.8 ft (w), the camera is literally the size of a small SUV, with a 3.2-gigapixel (3,200-megapixel) focal plane, making it the highest-resolution camera of its kind.

Australian Man Titanium Artificial Heart BiVACOR
We may be decades away from artificial wombs, but one Australian man was able to leave St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney with a full titanium artificial heart from BiVACOR this past month. Officially called the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH), this device basically replaces both ventricles of the heart, taking over the pumping of blood to the body (systemic circulation) and lungs (pulmonary circulation).
