Human beings are tiny creatures compared to the 92 billion light-year wide observable Universe. How can we comprehend such large scales?
More work is needed before declaring the technique a fountain of youth.
biotech trends
From synthetic biology to xenotransplantation, biotech will continue to march forward in 2023, in part powered by data and AI.
JWST just found its first transiting exoplanet, and it's 99% the size of Earth. But with no atmosphere seen, perhaps air is truly rare.
An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia.
