Cosmic Gold Rush: Inside the 2025 Race to Harvest Asteroid Riches

The near-Earth asteroid 16 Psyche is speculated to be worth $10,000 quadrillion, vastly exceeding Earth’s total economy. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx delivered 4.29 ounces (121.6 grams) of Bennu material to Earth in 2023, the largest asteroid sample to date. NASA’s Psyche mission, launched in

Neuromorphic Computing: The Brain-Inspired Tech Revolutionizing AI and Beyond

What Is Neuromorphic Computing (and How Does It Work)? Neuromorphic computing – sometimes called brain-inspired computing – is an approach to computer design that mimics the structure and function of the human brain Ibm. Instead of the traditional model where separate units

Pig Neurons in Human Brains? The 2025 Reality Check on Neuron Xenotransplantation—Breakthroughs, Risks, and What Happens Next

What exactly is neuron xenotransplantation? Neuron xenotransplantation is the transplantation of neurons or their precursors between species, most realistically from genetically engineered pigs to human patients. It’s distinct from allografts (human‑to‑human) and from organoid research that places human cells into animals for

Rewinding the Clock: How Yamanaka Factors Are Resetting Aging Cells

Shinya Yamanaka discovered the OSKM factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc—in 2006 to reprogram mature cells into pluripotent stem cells. In 2016, Izpisúa Belmonte and colleagues showed partial in vivo reprogramming in progeria mice by cycling OSKM for 2–4 days with rest, yielding

The Secret “Zombie Cell” Killers: Niche Senolytic Drugs Fighting Aging’s Clock

In 2015, a Mayo Clinic and Scripps Research team showed that a combination of dasatinib and quercetin selectively kills senescent cells in aged mice, improving frailty and heart function. The first-generation senolytics include dasatinib and quercetin and entered human safety testing for

Asteroid Gold Rush: Inside the Race to Scout and Mine Space’s Richest Rocks

OSIRIS-REx, the NASA asteroid-sample-return mission (2016–2023), delivered a ~250-gram Bennu soil sample to Utah in September 2023, with early analysis showing carbon-rich material around 5% by weight and water-bearing clays. The Psyche mission, launched in October 2023, targets the metal-rich asteroid 16

Deep-Water Wind Revolution: Floating Turbines Set to Transform Offshore Energy

Floating wind turbines are offshore wind generators mounted on buoyant platforms tethered to the seabed with mooring lines, allowing deployment in waters far deeper than 60 meters where fixed-bottom foundations aren’t feasible. About 80% of the world’s offshore wind potential lies in

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

A CO₂ Battery stores energy in a closed loop by using surplus electricity to compress CO₂ to about 70 bar at roughly 400°C, then transferring heat to a thermal storage medium and liquefying CO₂ for storage in pressurized tanks. Discharging reverses the
