16+ hour, 12+ min ago   (468+ words) Five years ago, almost no one in Latin America bought an electric car. In Colombia, electric cars now account for 10 percent of new car sales. In Mexico, the share rose from 2 to 7 percent in a single year. Latin America was…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago   (627+ words) ✂️ New CRISPR method destroys cancer cells. 🛫 Autonomous system designed to fly itself from takeoff to touchdown. 🧬 The bluebuck went extinct in 1799, now it is being de-extincted. This newsletter is for you who are a Premium Supporter at Warp News. Feel…...

1+ day, 16+ hour ago   (460+ words) At the turn of the millennium, about one in five adult Indians smoked. That share has roughly halved since then. Almost half of all adults used some form of tobacco at the time. That figure has also roughly halved. The…...

3+ day, 16+ hour ago   (420+ words) Researchers have read a complete scroll from Herculaneum. The scrolls were carbonised by the heat and are so fragile they cannot be physically unrolled without being destroyed. Instead, high-resolution scans and computational techniques are used to virtually unwrap the scrolls....

4+ day, 14+ hour ago   (634+ words) ✂️ New CRISPR method destroys cancer cells. 🛫 Autonomous system designed to fly itself from takeoff to touchdown. 🧬 The bluebuck went extinct in 1799, now it is being de-extincted. I spent a week in Poland with my son, brother, and mother. There we…...

4+ day, 17+ hour ago   (642+ words) The bluebuck was the first large African mammal driven to extinction by humans in modern times. The company Colossal Biosciences is now working to bring the species back using genetic technology. The work is building methods that can also help…...

6+ day, 16+ hour ago   (556+ words) Researchers have placed individual carbon units at exact locations on a silicon surface and built structures atom by atom, something dismissed for decades as unworkable. In most attempts the carbon landed correctly, with an accuracy of up to 97 percent. The…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (499+ words) In lab tests the method destroyed the mutated cells but left healthy cells almost entirely unharmed, even though they differed by just a single building block in their DNA. The technique is programmable, which means a new mutation only requires…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (511+ words) Merlin's autonomous flight system is built to handle the entire flight, from takeoff to touchdown, and can reduce crew workload. The technology is designed to fly several types of large aircraft, including commercial jets and military transport planes. Merlin's system,…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (662+ words) Researchers at MIT have developed a process that dissolves lithium minerals at room temperature instead of above 1,800 degrees. The method is estimated to cost half as much as today's extraction of lithium from hard rock. The process recycles its own…...
