Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan told CNBC that this group is growing significantly faster than past cohorts and with actual revenue. The winter 2025 batch of YC companies in aggregate grew 10% per week, he said.
“It’s not just the number one or two companies — the whole batch is growing 10% week on week,” said Tan, who is also a Y Combinator alum. “That’s never happened before in early-stage venture.”
That growth spurt is thanks to leaps in artificial intelligence, Tan said.
Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho’s research team has recently been highlighted for their work on developing an original technology for cancer reversal treatment that does not kill cancer cells but only changes their characteristics to reverse them to a state similar to normal cells. This time, they have succeeded in revealing for the first time that a molecular switch that can induce cancer reversal at the moment when normal cells change into cancer cells is hidden in the genetic network.
KAIST (President Kwang-Hyung Lee) announced on the 5th of February that Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho’s research team of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has succeeded in developing a fundamental technology to capture the critical transition phenomenon at the moment when normal cells change into cancer cells and analyze it to discover a molecular switch that can revert cancer cells back into normal cells.
A critical transition is a phenomenon in which a sudden change in state occurs at a specific point in time, like water changing into steam at 100℃. This critical transition phenomenon also occurs in the process in which normal cells change into cancer cells at a specific point in time due to the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes.

If quantum computers are to fulfill the promise of solving problems faster or which are too complex for classical supercomputers, then quantum information needs to be communicated between multiple processors.
Modern computers have different interconnected components such as a memory chip, a Central Processing Unit and a General Processing Unit. These need to communicate for a computer to function.
Current attempts to interconnect superconducting quantum processors use “point-to-point” connectivity. This means they require a series of transfers between nodes, compounding errors.
The Odysseus spacecraft made a rough landing on the moon last year, toppling over and rendering much of its equipment unusable, but an onboard NASA radio telescope called ROLSES-1 was able to make some observations
Amazon, Meta, and Google have come together to make a pledge towards the largest deployment ever, powered by nuclear energy. How have tech giants made the pledge?
MIT researchers from America have taken a leap towards achieving nuclear fusion, finding key material for the vacuum vessels to extend the reactor’s lifespan.
In the 1930s, researchers first noticed oddities in how galaxies moved, suggesting something invisible exerted gravitational pull. Decades later, studies of the cosmic microwave background —the lingering radiation from the universe’s birth—confirmed dark matter’s importance in shaping cosmic evolution.
A pivotal study by the Planck Collaboration in 2018 revealed that dark matter makes up roughly 27% of the universe’s total energy. By comparison, ordinary matter—the stuff of planets, stars, and us—accounts for only 5%.
Scientists have spent decades trying to understand what dark matter might be. Supersymmetry, a popular theory in particle physics, proposes a “partner” particle for every known particle, potentially offering clues about dark matter’s identity.
Scientists have discovered a “blueprint” for long life by decoding the genome, gut health and lifestyle of the world’s oldest person who died last year at 117.
Maria Branyas Morera, an American-Catalan Caucasian woman, was born in March 1907 in San Francisco, US, and died in August 2024.
While centenarians are becoming more common thanks to advances in health care, supercentenarians aged over 110 are still extremely rare.
