Human Skin Cells Have Heen Converted into Fertilizable Eggs for The First Time

Scientists announced on Tuesday that, for the first time, they have transformed human skin cells into eggs and successfully fertilized them with sperm in a lab—a breakthrough that could eventually help infertile individuals have children. The U.S.-led team of scientists cautioned that the technology is still many years from being accessible to hopeful parents. However, […]

Medically, What Does Sleep Talking Signify?

Healthcare, Medicine / Valeriano Ndeyi

Have your family or friends ever told you that you talk while sleeping? No need to feel ashamed! Research shows that over half of people have spoken out loud in their sleep at least once. This phenomenon, known as somniloquy, is surprisingly common and sparks a lot of interest. Many people who talk in their

How Does Eating Too Many Ultra-Processed Foods Affect your Body?

Healthcare, Medicine / Ana Kiesse Zeleme

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) — like sodas, snacks, and processed meats — are heavily altered, additive-filled products low in nutrients. They now account for nearly 60% of adults’ and almost 70% of children’s diets in the U.S. Designed to last longer and be more appealing, UPFs reduce overall nutritional quality and often lead to overeating. In

Study Reveals People Forgive Machines Similarly to Humans

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics / Jorge Paka

When technology malfunctions—like a frozen computer at a crucial moment, a GPS guiding us into traffic, or a washing machine halting mid-cycle—our initial response is usually frustration. These common annoyances often spark irritation. However, a recent study by two Israeli researchers suggests a surprising insight: we tend to extend forgiveness to machines in much the

Harvard Reverses Aging in Monkeys; Human Trials Coming soon

Healthcare, Midwifery / Jorge Paka

In a Moonshots podcast interview, Harvard Medical School genetics professor David Sinclair discussed a once-unthinkable breakthrough — restoring youth to animal cells and tissues. He said human clinical trials are set to start soon. In the discussion, the scientist noted that experiments on mice and green monkeys showed strong potential for substantially reversing aging. “We’ve

A Newly Discovered Skull in China is Challenging Current Understanding of Human Evolution

Biology, Evolution / Evelina Jeremias

In the tranquil curves of the Han River in central China, three ancient skulls remained hidden for nearly a million years. Over time, they were deformed by natural forces and buried in silence under layers of sediment. For years, scientists believed they belonged to a well-known part of our evolutionary story—Homo erectus, the upright human

A new study challenges the long-standing assumption that frozen conditions slow chemical activity, offering fresh insight into the mysterious orange tint of Arctic rivers. The research reveals that ice can actually outperform liquid water in extracting iron from common minerals. Arctic Rivers Turning Orange Over recent years, rivers across the Arctic have taken on an

AI-Created Viruses are Multiplying and Destroying Bacteria

1 Comment / Applied Science, Robotics / Evelina Jeremias

A petri dish filled with dead bacteria isn’t typically a reason to celebrate—but for Stanford researcher Brian Hie, it marked a breakthrough in his quest to engineer synthetic life. The killer was a bacteriophage, a virus that targets and destroys bacteria while leaving human cells unharmed. These viruses have evolved over millions of years to

DeepMind Unveils its First Thinking Robot AI

Applied Science, Robotics / Ana Kiesse Zeleme

Generative AI can also produce robot actions—the core idea behind DeepMind’s Gemini Robotics project. The team has unveiled two new models that work together to let robots “think” before they act. Simulated reasoning has improved language models, and that advance may soon reach robotics. DeepMind argues that generative AI is critical for robots because it
