Their method accomplishes this by artificially bringing together two proteins in such a way that the new compound switches on a set of cell death genes… One of these proteins, BCL6, when mutated, drives the blood cancer known as diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma… [It] sits on DNA near apoptosis-promoting Read more…
Those who have followed SpaceX’s trajectory will know hop tests are a vital stepping stone for a reusable rocket program, as they allow engineers to test their rocket’s landing capabilities. Impressively, no private company or space agency in Europe had ever performed a rocket hop test before. Essentially, a group Read more…
Plans by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta to build an AI data centre in the US that runs on nuclear power were thwarted in part because a rare species of bee was discovered on land earmarked for the project, according to people familiar with the matter. Zuckerberg had planned to strike a Read more…

A passive house, it’s designed to be as energy efficient as possible, typically with top-notch insulation and a perfect seal that prevents outside air from penetrating the home; air flows in and out through filtration and exhaust systems only. Their benefits include protection from pollution and pollen, noise insulation and Read more…
AI-driven 0-day detection is here, detects, verifies, and issues pull requests for security vulnerabilities in your code. They write that AI-assisted security research “has been quietly advancing” since early 2023, when researchers at the DARPA and ARPA-H’s Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge demonstrated the first practical applications of LLM-powered vulnerability detection Read more…
