January 2019
In January, IBM unveiled Q System One, the first commercial quantum computer. A young researcher used a 3D printer to make prosthetic limbs. It was discovered how human blood cells can be reprogrammed into neural stem cells. Much was published about the causes of Alzheimer's disease. There was also an article about robots smaller than a human air able to starve and shrink cancerous tumors. Moreover, there were several articles about the benefits and harms of vitamins. Finally, there was a report about eye drops that dissolve cataracts.

March 2019
In March, a quantum computer was allegedly used to reverse time, and CRISPR to put a GIF inside a living organism's DNA. A genetic mutation that makes a woman feel no pain was also found. Moreover, an artificial cell was created that makes its own energy by photosynthesising. A couple of articles reported about brain-computer interfaces. There were also a couple of articles about antidepressants and the treatment of ADHD. Also, a new mode of antibiotic resistance was revealed.
