Bezos’ $3B bet that cells can age backward
Jeff Bezos and a group of billionaires have just invested around $3 billion in Altos Labs, a secretive longevity-focused startup aiming to slow or even reverse aging through genetic cell reprogramming. The goal is to use epigenetic techniques to “turn back the clock” in cells without losing their identity, potentially repairing damaged tissues in the […]
Bubble microbots blast tumors with drugs
Researchers from Caltech and USC have transformed medical microbubbles from imaging into enzyme-powered microrobots, capable of autonomously navigating to tumors or being guided by external magnets, then exploding to deliver chemotherapy deep into cancerous tissue. Enzyme-coated bubbles react with urea in bodily fluids to generate propulsion, allowing them to move through tissue without batteries or […]
India offers Big Tech a 21-year tax break
India is offering foreign tech giants a 21-year tax holiday if they run global AI workloads from Indian data centers, effectively turning the country into a near “zero-tax” hub for computing power while attempting to address energy and water challenges. The budget proposal allows foreign providers to avoid corporate taxes on revenue from cloud services […]
The race to make space babies has begun
Startups and researchers are now competing to see if humans can safely conceive, carry pregnancies, and raise children off Earth—a key requirement for permanent bases on the Moon and Mars. Biotech startup SpaceBorn United is developing a mini-IVF lab for embryos in orbit, with the first non-human prototype already launched aboard a SpaceX rocket. Early […]

OpenAI’s Frontier to manage ‘AI coworkers’
OpenAI has introduced Frontier, a new platform that enables companies to implement and manage AI agents as if they were new employees — including onboarding, permission assignments, and performance evaluation within the existing technology environment. The platform integrates with CRMs, ticketing tools, and other enterprise systems, allowing agents to access information across the company without […]
PaperBanana’s publication-ready research diagrams
Researchers from Peking University and Google Cloud AI have introduced PaperBanana, a system of five AI agents that collaboratively generate publication-ready diagrams and charts for academic papers. The system links agents responsible for retrieval, planning, styling, rendering, and critique, mimicking the human designer’s process when creating diagrams. On a benchmark of 292 NeurIPS methodological diagrams, […]
