Scientists explore alternative catalyst materials for affordable, stable hydrogen fuel cells.

The computer scientist Ellie Pavlick is translating philosophical concepts such as “meaning” into concrete, testable ideas.

The team claims to have generated 1G of thrust without any propellant. If true, it would be revolutionary.

Astrobot’s S1 humanoid showcases unprecedented speed and dexterity in household tasks, marking a notable advancement in robotics.

The hypertension drug rilmenidine has been shown to slow down aging in worms, an effect that in humans could hypothetically help us live longer and keep us healthier in our latter years.

Previous research has shown rilmenidine mimics the effects of caloric restriction on a cellular level. Reducing available energy while maintaining nutrition within the body has been shown to extend lifespans in several animal models.

Whether this translates to human biology, or is a potential risk to our health, is a topic of ongoing debate. Finding ways to achieve the same benefits without the costs of extreme calorie cutting could lead to new ways to improve health in old age.

Russian military intelligence hackers have been exploiting a Windows vulnerability since at least 2020 according to a new Microsoft report. Here’s what you need to know.

When human labor is hidden under the veneer of a robot or AI tool, that’s “fauxtomation”

Battery recycling drops from ~25,500 miles to ~15,000 miles the CO₂ breakeven point for EVs compared to ICE.

Are electric cars really that much better for the environment? With recycling, the question is a no-brainer.

Irina Conboy, Michael Conboy and Josh Mitteldorf discuss one of the central questions in aging research: is aging an active process of the body or is aging a…
