The compounds can form PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” which have been linked to cancer and birth defects. The E.P.A. approvals came despite the agency’s own concerns about toxicity.
Two reports call for the development of global standards for gene editing, covering unfair and potentially dangerous applications of experimental techniques, including altering DNA to enhance athletic ability.
Richard Branson, the founder of spaceflight firm Virgin Galactic, successfully went to space for the first time on Sunday. It is a milestone for space tourism.

The development is being compared to the desktop computing system revolution of the 1960’s.
For the first time ever, a single SoC features both quantum and Turing-based computing — and includes the world’s first hardware-agnostic quantum OS.

Four planets locked in a perfect rhythm around a nearby star are destined to be pinballed around their solar system when their sun eventually dies, according to a study led by the University of Warwick that peers into its future.
Astronomers have modeled how the change in gravitational forces in the system as a result of the star becoming a white dwarf will cause its planets to fly loose from their orbits and bounce off each other’s gravity, like balls bouncing off a bumper in a game of pinball.
Quantum computing algorithms can simulate infinitely-large quantum systems thanks to mathematical tools known as tensor networks.
Alameda-backed ChainSwap, a platform that bridges Ethereum to Binance Smart Chain, fell victim to another attack last night.
The formula for launching a machine learning company in health care looks something like this: Build a model, test it on historical patient data in a computer lab, and then start selling it to hospitals nationwide.
Suchi Saria, director of the machine learning and health care lab at Johns Hopkins University, is taking a different approach. Her company, Bayesian Health, is coming out of stealth mode on Monday by publishing a prospective study on how one of its lead products — an early warning system for sepsis — impacted the care of current patients in real hospitals.
