Anti-Aging Antibodies?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education, life extension

There’s only one alliterative phrase i like more than ‘the sheekey science show’, and that’s ‘anti-aging antibodies’. now, as it happens, one thing i spent a lot of time working on this year is antibodies. Antibody, make me feel this way. now while i cannot tell you yet what i was/am doing, i can tell you about two recent science stories that exploit antibodies to extend mouse lifespan. Firstly, i will bring your attention to this paper — immunotherapy targeting isoDGR-protein damage extends lifespan and then we’ll look at this paper that came out last month — Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan.

“Impossible” Neutron Breakthrough is Made, Building on Famous Double-Slit Experiment

Posted by in categories: innovation, quantum physics

A breakthrough that builds on the effects observed in the famous “double slit” experiment could allow physicists a greater ability to observe quantum effects within gravitational fields, according to new research published online.

A team of Italian scientists says they have successfully conducted neutron interferometry using more than one silicon crystal in a physics first that once seemed impossible, based on past attempts.

Phantom data could show copyright holders if their work is in AI training data

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Inspired by the map makers of the 20th Century, Imperial researchers have demonstrated a new way to identify copyright holders’ work in LLMs.

The technique was presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning in Vienna this week, and is detailed in this preprint on the arXiv server.

Generative AI is taking the world by storm, already transforming the day-to-day lives of millions of people.

SpaceX Reveals Raptor 3 Engine and Specifications

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

SpaceX has unveiled the Raptor 3 engine, marking significant advancements in thrust, specific impulse, and mass efficiency compared to previous versions. The Raptor 3 boasts a thrust of 280 tf, a specific impulse of 350s, and an engine mass of 1,525 kg. The SpaceX Raptor 3 engine has potential to exceed 300 tons of thrust in future iterations, emphasizing ongoing efforts to improve efficiency.

Raptor 3 is 36% lighter than Raptor 1. It has 51% more thrust at sea level versus raptor 1. Raptor 3 is 7% lighter than Raptor 2. It has 21% more thrust at sea level versus raptor 2. Elon Musk indicates that Raptor could get another 8–10% more thrust.

Raptor 3 has 2.75 million newtons of thrust versus 2.26 million newtons for the Raptor 2. 33 Raptor 3 engines would provide 90.75 million newtons of thrust for a 33 engine super heavy booster. 35 Raptor 3 engines would provide 96.3 million newtons of thrust for a 35 engine super heavy booster.
