The first two-way control of a virtual object by study participants while lucid dreaming has been documented, according to the findings of a new research effort.

Researchers with REMspace, a California startup, report that five participants in the recent study were successfully able to control a virtual Cybertruck while lucid dreaming, and even avoid obstacles that appeared on a screen.

The low amount of bacteria from the gut microbiota able to process bilirubin, a product of heme degradation, during the neonatal period of life suggests a strong connection between the microbiome composition and development of jaundice in infants. In other words, the lack of certain bacteria in the gut of infants seems to be linked to the risk of developing jaundice.

Chinese EV leader BYD is launching its new in-house smart driving tech next month. According to local reports, the advanced ADAS feature will roll out by the end of March.

A report from LatePost (via CnEVPost) Monday claimed the first BYD city pilot assist driving feature will be available on March 30. BYD’s Denza N7 SUV will be the first of the auto giant’s 20+ lineup to receive the upgrade.

Citing sources close to the matter, the report says major cities like Shenzen (BYD’s headquarters) will be the first to see the feature rollout.

An Australian cultured meat startup has “resurrected” the woolly mammoth — in the hope that people will think about eating it.

The challenge: Our traditional way of producing meat — by raising and slaughtering animals — is both bad for the environment and arguably unethical, yet demand for meat continues to increase.

Cultured meat, which is grown from muscle cells in a lab, can perfectly replicate the flavor of meat that comes from animals, so carnivores may prefer it to plant-based alternatives — once prices come down, at least. But some people may hesitate to even try cultured beef or pork when they could just keep eating the “real” stuff.
