Rewinding the Clock: How Yamanaka Factors Are Resetting Aging Cells

In 2022, 124-week-old mice treated with inducible OSK via AAV9 and a 1-day-on/6-days-off cycle lived about twice as long in remaining lifespan, with a 9–12% median lifespan extension. Earlier studies showed partial reprogramming with OSKM extended lifespan and improved tissue function in mice. Human cell experiments reset aging markers by about 30 years. Safety concerns, including cancer risk, remain unresolved.

Asteroid Minerals: Mining C-Type, S-Type & M-Type Space Rocks Worth Trillions

C-type asteroids make up over 75% of known asteroids and are rich in water and organics, while S-types contain significant metals including platinum and gold. M-type asteroids, though rare, hold vast iron-nickel and platinum-group metals. NASA's Psyche mission launched in 2023 to study asteroid 16 Psyche, and OSIRIS-REx returned Bennu samples in 2023. Launch costs have dropped below $2,000 per kilogram.

Unmasking Russia’s Troll Farm Empire: Inside the Kremlin’s Global Disinformation Machine

The Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg employed about 400 staff by 2015, producing hundreds of posts and comments per shift under strict quotas. During the 2016 U.S. election, IRA campaigns reached over 126 million Americans and led to indictments and sanctions. The group later outsourced operations to Africa and, by 2024, shifted to AI-driven influence, with Google reporting over 400 enforcement actions in 2023.

Bottling Power in CO₂: How Compressed Carbon Dioxide Could Revolutionize Energy Storage

A CO₂ Battery stores surplus electricity by compressing and liquefying CO₂, then recovers power by reversing the process through turbines. The system delivers 66.7 kWh per cubic meter, uses standard industrial parts, and avoids lithium or rare metals. Energy Dome’s Sardinia pilot began in 2022; commercial units are planned in Italy, Wisconsin, and India. Google has partnered to expand global deployment, including in Oman.
