In a groundbreaking effort to enhance lunar exploration, NASA
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the United States government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Established in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act, NASA has led the U.S. in space exploration efforts, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle program.
Anduril, a technology start-up that designs autonomous systems and weapons for government agencies and the military, plans to build a $1 billion factory in Columbus, Ohio, the company said on Thursday.
It said the factory, called Arsenal-1 and described as a “hyperscale” plant, would bring more than 4,000 job to Ohio and eventually produce tens of thousands of autonomous systems and weapons each year.
“We will be creating with our partners in Ohio something that does not currently exist” at such a scale, Anduril’s chief strategy officer, Chris Brose, said in a briefing with reporters. The company has worked closely with state officials on the project and has secured tax breaks to locate it in Columbus.
In today’s AI news, François Chollet, an influential AI researcher, is launching a new startup that aims to build frontier AI systems with novel designs. The startup, Ndea, will consist of an AI research and science lab. It’s looking to “develop and operationalize” AGI. It’s a goalpost for many AI companies …
In other advancements, San Francisco-based Luma released Ray2, its newest video AI generation model, available now through its Dream Machine website and mobile apps for paying subscribers (to start). The model offers “fast, natural coherent motion and physics,” according to CEO Amit Jain.
And, Microsoft has been positioning Copilot as the “UI for AI.” Now, as the next step in this work, it is launching Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat — a rebranded version of its free AI chat experience for businesses, enhanced with agentic capabilities.
Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum surveyed 1,000 global employers, who collectively employ more than 14.1 million workers across 22 industries, for its Future of Jobs report—and it found that 41% of bosses think they’ll need to reduce their workforce in the next five years. Why? Because they predict there will be a pool of workers whose skills or roles become obsolete thanks to AI.

The utility of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) as a therapy for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the focus of a State-of-the-Art Review published Jan. 8 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.
Jalaj Garg, MBBS, FACC, et al., discuss the procedure’s journey to becoming a mainstream approach for stroke prevention, advancements in LAAO devices over the past two decades, and domains requiring additional scientific inquiry. The authors describe the LAA as an “important therapeutic target” in treating patients with AFib, as the LAA is “the most common site for thrombus formation and an important source of non-pulmonary vein triggers.” They outline the anatomy, physiology and clinical relevance of the LAA along with the evolution of LAA exclusion techniques and devices overtime.
Acknowledging the major advancements in LAAO device technology and clinical benefits, the authors note the ACC, American Heart Association and Heart Rhythm Society have “updated recommendations to Class 2a in patients with moderate to high risk for stroke or contraindications to long-term [oral anticoagulation (OAC)], with weak recommendations (Class 2b) in patients with moderate to high risk for stroke or reasonable to continue long-term OAC.”
CERN discovers antihyperhelium-4, the heaviest antimatter particle to date.
Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered the heaviest antimatter particle ever observed: antihyperhelium-4.
This exotic particle, the antimatter counterpart of hyperhelium-4, contains two antiprotons, an antineutron, and an antilambda particle. The breakthrough offers insights into the extreme conditions of the early universe and sheds light on the baryon asymmetry problem — why our universe is dominated by matter despite matter and antimatter being created in equal amounts during the Big Bang.
The discovery was made using lead-ion collisions at the LHC, recreating the hyper-hot environment of the newborn universe. Machine learning models analyzed the data, identifying antihyperhelium-4 particles and precisely measuring their masses.
While the experiment confirmed that matter and antimatter are created in equal portions, the mystery of what tipped the cosmic balance remains unsolved. With ongoing upgrades to the LHC, more groundbreaking discoveries in antimatter research could be on the horizon.

Glioblastoma, an aggressive and often fatal form of brain cancer, has long posed a formidable challenge to doctors and patients alike. Yet, a groundbreaking clinical trial is offering a glimmer of hope, capturing global attention for its potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. A 62-year-old engineer, faced with a grim prognosis, has experienced something extraordinary—his tumour has shrunk significantly in a matter of weeks. This remarkable outcome marks the beginning of a journey that could redefine how we treat one of the most challenging cancers. What makes this approach so promising, and how could it change the future for patients?
Glioblastoma, often referred to as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is the most aggressive and common form of primary brain cancer in adults. Originating from glial cells—specifically astrocytes that support nerve cells—this malignancy is notorious for its rapid growth and diffuse infiltration into surrounding brain tissue, making complete surgical removal challenging.
While research continues on the potential of psychedelics as a clinical treatment, a recent study highlights the need to better understand their adverse effects.

A cryogenic microscope reveals the atomic-scale processes that disrupt the charge-ordered state in a material as the temperature rises.
Many of the exotic materials being investigated for next-generation technologies exhibit charge order, a state in which the electrons arrange themselves into a periodic pattern, such as stripes of high and low electron density. Researchers have now shown that they can track the evolution of this state as it warms up and melts away by using a cryogenic electron microscope [1]. Their experimental approach offers a new way to explore the interactions between different phases of quantum materials, which could inform the development of future electronic and data storage devices.
In certain materials with strongly interacting electrons, charge order appears—usually below room temperature—as an electron density that varies periodically in a pattern of stripes, a checkerboard, or a more complicated 3D structure. Researchers want to understand this phase because it coexists and interacts with other states and properties of the material, many of which are useful for novel devices and technologies. In high-temperature superconductors, for example, charge order is known to suppress the material’s superconducting behavior. In other materials, strong coupling between charge order and ferromagnetism can trigger colossal magnetoresistance, a property that could be exploited in magnetic storage devices.
