Reviving The Frozen Brain: How Scientists Are Getting Closer To Real Cryosleep

Cryosleep for humans is still distant, but the direction is becoming clearer. Instead of being purely speculative, it is now a technical problem being solved step by step.

Defining AGI: DeepMind’s 10 Traits That Could Measure Intelligence

Artificial general intelligence has long been discussed as the point where machines reach human level intelligence, yet the concept has remained vague and difficult to measure.

AI Layoffs Explained: What’s Really Driving Job Cuts In Big Tech

AI is influencing layoffs, but it is not the whole story. The real driver is a combination of business cycles, cost control, and a race to invest in the next generation of technology.

Beyond Antibiotics: Engineered Killer Cells That Can Eliminate Superbugs In A Day

Instead of relying on static drugs, future treatments may involve programmable systems that actively seek out and eliminate disease. If successful, engineered killer cells could become a powerful tool in combating some of the most dangerous infections facing modern healthcare.

NASA’s $20 Billion Moon Base: Building The Next Frontier Beyond Earth

At the core is a $20 billion lunar base designed to support sustained human activity. Rather than relying on orbital stations, the focus is now on establishing operations directly on the Moon’s surface.

Why What You See Is Only A Tiny Fraction Of Reality

This perspective reshapes how we understand perception, decision making, and even identity. What we think of as “what we see” is not reality itself, but a filtered output. Conscious awareness is not the full picture, it is just the part that gets broadcast.

When AI Agrees Too Much: How Chatbots Are Weakening Critical Thinking

Many of these systems are designed to be agreeable, and this is beginning to influence how people think, respond, and take responsibility.

Powering AI: How The Data Centre Boom Is Reshaping The US Energy Grid

What was once a relatively stable power system is now under pressure as data centres, driven by AI, demand unprecedented levels of energy.

Measuring AGI: A More Concrete Approach To Intelligence

Google DeepMind is attempting to bring structure to one of the most vague concepts in technology: artificial general intelligence. Instead of relying on abstract definitions, it proposes a measurable framework based on specific cognitive traits that together define what “general intelligence” should look like.

Mini Brains, Real Learning: A New Frontier In Biological Computing

Mini brains solving engineering tasks highlights that learning may be an inherent property of neural tissue. While far from practical use, it marks a step toward integrating biology with computation and rethinking how intelligence can be built.

Gene Finding Paves Way For New Targeted Breast Cancer Treatment

A gene linked to triple negative breast cancer could point to a new targeted treatment, researchers say.

Prostate Cancer Screening On Par With Breast Cancer Screening

Risk-adapted prostate cancer screening achieves mammography-like benefits, study suggests.
