A flaw in a commonly used piece of software has left millions of web servers vulnerable to exploitation by hackers.
Elon Musk has announced a new timeframe for his massive Mars project, and it is a lot closer than you would believe.
In an article published Monday, Musk said, âIâll be surprised if weâre not landing on Mars within five years.
Musk, the 50-year-old SpaceX founder and CEO who was selected Timeâs Person of the Year, has grandiose ambitions for Mars: a self-sustaining metropolis with solar-powered hydroponic fields where people may live indefinitely, 34 million miles from Earth.
Rejuveron increases to near-majority stake in Endogena to progress treatments for degenerative diseases of the eye.
Boston-based biotech Vincere Biosciences is on a mission to combat neurodegenerative disease by improving the quality of the mitochondria in our cells. The company was spun out from AI drug discovery company NeuroInitiative in 2018 after its platform identified that modulation of certain enzymes to repair mitochondrial health âmay slow or stop the progression of Parkinsonâs disease and other age-related disorders.â
In addition to seed funding, Vincere has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and Michael J Fox Foundation, and the company is now gearing up for a Series A funding round in early 2022.
Longevity. Technology: Mitochondriaâs role in longevity is a hot topic. Often referred to as the âpowerhouse of the cellâ, these miniature organs within our cells play a key role in providing the energy needed for growth, repair and rejuvenation. As we age, our mitochondria begin to decline in function, and this decline is linked to a range of age-related diseases. We caught up with Vincereâs co-founder and CEO Dr Spring Behrouz to find out how her company aims to tap into the potential of these small but mighty biological players.

When the largest of stars dies, the supernova they produce can outshine a whole galaxy, and potentially sterilize vast swathes of space. Future civilizations will need to be able to prevent or mitigate such events, though some might seek to artificially ignite a nova.

Interstellar travel is very time consuming, moving from star to star, but perhaps we could use stars themselves as spaceships, and move whole solar systems or even galaxies.
Today weâll look at how to use Shkadov Thrusters, novas, supernovae, black holes and quasars to move through space, literal starships.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has generated a renaissance in vaccinology, with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines delivering a âdigital codeâ of the viral antigen with no need to purify proteins or inactivate pathogens.
A small community of mathematicians is using a software program called Lean to build a new digital repository. They hope it represents the future of their field.
