It came from the constellation Sagitta more than 2 billion years ago.
Earlier this month, on October 9th, one of the most intense gamma ray bursts hit the Earth.

Astronomers named the event GRB 221009A and they report that it was at least 10 times brighter than previous gamma-ray bursts. The scientists speculate that it also released the same amount of energy that would take thousands of suns their entire lifetimes to generate.
The study describes the integration of cell division machinery in synthetic cells, a breakthrough in the field.
For decades, researchers have been fascinated by the process of cell division, a highly intricate process driven by a precise cocktail of components. To better understand this phenomenon, researchers have been trying to create synthetic cells that mimic nature.
While it will take some time before we have fully functional synthetic cells, a study led by researchers from DWI—Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials has brought this goal one step closer. The study describes the integration of cell division machinery in synthetic cells, a breakthrough in the field.
Tesla CEO sees Twitter as a ‘bloated’ organization, employing far more people for its revenues.
Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover has entered an interesting stage where he can sit down with the company’s lawyers and iron out a deal. However, the deal could see 5,000 employees facing the axe at Twitter, Washington Post.

Twitter currently employs 7,500 workers, and documents accessed by the media outlet show that Musk plans to trim down the workforce by as much as 75 percent, down to a skeleton staff of just 2,000. In internal Slack channels, employees have reacted to this news with anger, WaPo reported.
The first in the world to do so.
Researchers at the North University of China have successfully completed the test of a Hyperloop-like train system that runs trains in a low vacuum environment inside a tube, local news outlet, China Daily.
In theory, the system can be used for transporting people as well as goods and consists of long tubes that maintain a low vacuum to allow transport with minimal air resistance.

Hyperloop is the name given to a high-speed transit system that was popularized by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in 2012. A year later, Musk also released a white paper that conceptualized such a system running between Los Angeles and San Francisco in the U.S.
That’s what Musk announced during Tesla’s Q3 2022 earnings call.
The third vehicle platform for Tesla, following the big one supporting the Model S and X and the small one supporting the Model 3 and Y, has received new information from company CEO Elon Musk.
Customers, investors, and Tesla supporters have been anticipating the company’s introduction of a new vehicle that will be less expensive than the current models for some time.

The cost and labor involved in manufacturing Tesla’s new vehicle platform will be significantly reduced. The company added that it will produce more than all of its other existing vehicles put together.

Some animals do not age at all and prove that aging is not inevitable. Scientists are working on ways to slow down and even reverse aging.
The discovery that earned Japan’s Shinya Yamanaka the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine has paved the way for new research proving that aging is a reversible process. Currently just being tested on lab mice, will the cellular reprogramming soon offer eternal youth?
