Bringing a new dimension to underground energy, Deep Fission Nuclear has raised US$30 million to build a micro-reactor inside a borehole one mile (1.6 km) deep, with completion targeted for July 4, 2026, under the US Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program. An unconventional approach to reactor design More than a year ago, the company […]

A recent clinical trial indicates that magnesium supplements may encourage the growth of gut bacteria capable of slowing colon cancer development – though the effect appears to depend on an individual’s sex and genetic makeup. Colorectal cancer remains a global burden While increased colonoscopy screening has helped reduce colorectal cancer rates, the disease still ranks

Here’s some uplifting news: the Earth’s ozone shield is on the mend. In 2024, the seasonal gap in the stratosphere measured smaller than during the years 2020 through 2023. A step toward full protection This signals progress toward restoring full ozone coverage, which protects us from the Sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation. The World Meteorological Organization

Neutrinos rank among the most mysterious particles in the standard model, largely because they are so elusive. Although around 400 trillion of them stream through every human body each second, produced mainly by the Sun, they almost never interact with ordinary matter—making them notoriously difficult to study. A Giant Leap in Detection To peel back

A recent study proposes that alien civilizations could potentially pick up on the signals we use to communicate with our spacecraft and rovers—and that we might detect them in a similar way. Radio Waves That Spill Into Space When scientists send instructions to a Mars rover or redirect an orbiter, they rely on strong radio

Blood-producing stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), function best when they’re stable and well-rested—like managers keeping a factory running smoothly. But when the body faces stress, such as infection or injury, these cells quickly ramp up production of immune cells to defend against threats. Over time, repeated stress wears them down, causing them

BEIJING (WSYX) — Scientists have shown that genetically modified human stem cells can delay aging symptoms in monkeys, potentially paving the way for treatments aimed at age-related decline in humans. Stem Cell Therapy Cuts Aging Signs in Monkeys Without Side Effects Over a 44-week period, researchers treated cynomolgus monkeys with senescence-resistant mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs)

A 25-year UFRJ study developed polylaminin, a placenta-derived drug that shows promise in regenerating spinal cords. The research, led by Professor Tatiana Coelho de Sampaio, head of the Extracellular Matrix Biology Laboratory at UFRJ’s Institute of Biomedical Sciences, showed that some patients regained partial or full movement after treatment. Polylaminin works by rejuvenating mature neurons

According to OpenMind AGI, the robotics industry has long been fragmented, with developers limited by closed ecosystems, hardware-specific tools, and complex learning curves. Today, the company announced the beta launch of OM1, which it calls “the world’s first open-source operating system for intelligent robots”—a universal platform enabling robots to perceive, reason, and act in the
