Even if disturbed, the textures made by building blocks called neural cellular automata have the ability to heal themselves. By understanding how simple components form complex systems, scientists could theoretically coax bodies to regenerate missing limbs.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DOSED THE FIRST PATIENT IN A TRIAL TO REVERSE CELLULAR AGING IN THE HUMAN EYE. Life Biosciences has begun an FDA-approved clinical trial using cellular reprogramming to regenerate aging neurons in the optic nerve of glaucoma patients. Instead of just slowing vision loss, the goal is to actually reverse aspects of cellular aging in the eye essentially trying to make old nerve cells young again. Why this matters: • Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, caused by damage to the optic nerve • Current treatments can only slow progression they cannot regenerate lost vision • This approach uses partial cellular reprogramming (a controlled form of turning back the biological clock) • If successful, it could open the door to treating many other age-related neurodegenerative diseases The deeper implication is enormous: We may be entering an era where aging itself becomes treatable not just its symptoms. If we can safely reprogram cells in the eye, the same technology could eventually be applied to the brain, spine, and other organs. The first patient has now been dosed. This is no longer just theory. What do you think are we ready to start treating aging as a medical condition? Follow for more frontier science and longevity breakthroughs.

🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO STOP BLINDNESS BEFORE VISION IS LOST. Researchers have developed a new laser-based treatment that gently heats the back of the eye not to destroy tissue, but to activate the eye’s own repair systems. The target is dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Around one in three people over 80 develop it, and until now there have been almost no ways to stop it early. Why this matters: Instead of waiting for vision loss and then trying to replace damaged cells, this treatment uses precisely controlled near-infrared laser pulses to raise retinal temperature by just a few degrees. That tiny heat signal triggers: • heat shock proteins • cellular repair mechanisms • autophagy (the cell’s own waste-removal process) In simple terms: the laser may help aging eye cells clean and repair themselves before permanent damage occurs. The deeper implication is enormous: Future medicine may not always work by replacing broken parts. It may work by reactivating the repair systems evolution already built into us. What if many age-related diseases, including blindness, begin when our cells simply lose the ability to clean up after themselves? Follow for more frontier medicine and future science.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST REVERSED AGING IN BLOOD STEM CELLS Researchers at Mount Sinai restored old blood stem cells to a youthful state by repairing tiny cellular recycling systems called lysosomes. In mice, aged stem cells regained the ability to: • regenerate healthy blood • rebuild immune cells • reduce inflammation • behave like young stem cells again One treatment increased blood-forming capacity by more than 8x. Why this matters: Your blood stem cells are responsible for constantly rebuilding your immune system and blood supply throughout life. As they age: • immunity weakens • inflammation rises • cancer risk increases • regeneration declines But this study suggests aging inside these cells may not be permanent. Scientists may have found a biological “reset switch.” The future of anti-aging may not come from replacing organs… …but from restoring the cells that rebuild the body itself.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST TOOK A MAJOR STEP TOWARD ATOM-BY-ATOM MANUFACTURING. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, researchers have demonstrated programmable, positionally controlled placement of carbon fragments onto a hydrogen-passivated silicon surface building precise carbon chains and even complex “X” shapes with yields up to 97% for adjacent units. This is not random chemistry or spray-and-pray methods. It’s targeted, repeatable mechanosynthesis at the atomic scale. Why this matters: For decades, atomically precise manufacturing has been a holy grail of nanotechnology. This work shows we can now pick up individual molecular building blocks, place them exactly where we want, and grow structured carbon architectures step by step. The deeper implication is staggering: We may be watching the early days of true molecular manufacturing the ability to build matter atom by atom, on demand. This could eventually transform everything from materials science to medicine, energy storage, and even age-reversal technologies. The dream of programmable matter is no longer pure science fiction. What happens when we can routinely construct complex molecular structures with atomic precision? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.

There is no obligation on the part of building owners and taxpayers to subsidize your expenses, so that you wouldn't have to relocate. This principle even applies to people who work for nonprofits. From "What the NYC rent vote could mean for 1 million stabilized apartments" by Spectrum News NY1.

Introducing ASAL: Automating the Search for Artificial Life with Foundation Models Artificial Life (ALife) research holds key insights that can transform and accelerate progress in AI. By speeding up ALife discovery with AI, we accelerate our understanding of emergence, evolution, and intelligence–core principles that can inspire the next generation of AI systems! We proudly collaborated with MIT, OpenAI, Swiss AI Lab IDSIA, and Ken Stanley on this exciting project. Full Paper (Website): Full Paper (arxiv): Code: In this work, we propose a new algorithm called Automated Search for Artificial Life (“ASAL”) to automate the discovery of artificial life using vision-language foundation models. Instead of tediously hand-designing every tiny rule of an Alife simulation, simply describe the space of simulations to search over, and ASAL will automatically discover the most interesting and open-ended artificial lifeforms! Because of the generality of foundation models, ASAL can discover new lifeforms across a diverse range of seminal ALife simulations, including Boids, Particle Life, Game of Life, Lenia, and Neural Cellular Automata. ASAL even discovered novel cellular automata rules that are more open-ended and expressive than the original Conway’s Game of Life. We believe this new paradigm may reignite ALife research by overcoming the bottleneck of manually designed simulations, thus advancing beyond the limits of human ingenuity.

🇷🇺🇺🇦‘I think Ukraine, militarily, they’re DEFEATED…you wouldn’t know that by reading the fake news.’ -Donald Trump Washington’s only business in Ukraine is selling weapons to gullible European NATO countries, who have taken on the responsibility to enrich the US military-industrial complex, to keep the lost war going via donations to Ukraine. For Washington it’s about simple, ruthless profits, and letting the Europeans convince themselves that if the proxy war in Ukraine stops, then Vladimir Putin will immediately send tanks into Berlin, Paris, and London.

Predicting the next word "only" is sufficient for language models to learn a large body of knowledge that enables then to code, answer questions, understand many topics, chat, and so on. This is clear to many researchers now, and there are nice tutorials on why this works by Ilya Sutskever resorting to compression ( ) and by Geoffrey Hinton ( ). However, the emergence of types of understanding is not unique to language models. In by Misha Denil and Brandon Amos the authors trained models to predict the next few time stems of over a hundred robot hand sensors (Touch, Gyro, Accelerometer, Joint Info, Actuator Info, etc.). They ten found out that they could regress the shape of the thing the hand was touching from the activations of the neural networks using probes. That is, the model developed an internal representation of shapes even though it was simply used to predict "only" the next few senses. Awareness follows from simple predictions and interaction with the world.

From now on, I’ll opt for the back seat...Slight chance of survival in such crashes... 😶 By the way, instead of crashing into the wall, wasn’t it possible to turn the plane? Even if it slipped, the damage could have been less than this.

It's been incredible to see neural networks working so well on our humanoid robots Humanoids are crazy complex - an individual motor can rotate 360 degrees and you have 40+ joints. If you do the math, that means more possible robot states than atoms in the universe Figure has our own AI model called Helix that we've designed in-house. A single Helix neural network now outputs both manipulation and navigation, end-to-end from language and pixel input Every leap in machine learning has come from massive, diverse datasets. At Figure, we’re currently building the largest pretraining dataset for humanoids in history - excited to see what this unlocks

🚨 NASA JUST FOUND THE RAW INGREDIENTS OF DNA INSIDE A ROCK OLDER THAN EARTH ITSELF. Samples returned from the asteroid Bennu contain complex organic molecules including precursors to DNA and RNA, plus many of the amino acids used by all life on Earth. These molecules formed in the early solar system and survived for billions of years inside the asteroid. Earth didn’t have to invent the chemistry of life from nothing. It was delivered ready-made from space. Why this matters: • Bennu is a primitive asteroid that has remained largely unchanged since the birth of the solar system (~4.5 billion years ago) • The samples contain the molecular building blocks of DNA, RNA, and proteins the core components of life as we know it • These organics were preserved through the violent early days of the solar system and could have been delivered to Earth by asteroids and comets • This is some of the strongest direct evidence yet that life’s chemistry has cosmic origins The deeper implication: This doesn’t mean aliens or microbes came from space. It means the raw materials for life were already floating around the solar system long before Earth cooled enough to support life. Our planet likely received these ingredients from above rather than creating them all from scratch. If these building blocks were common in the early solar system, then the starting chemistry for life may have been widespread dramatically raising the chances that similar processes could have happened elsewhere. How does it change your perspective to know that the molecular ingredients for DNA were already present in space billions of years before the first living cell appeared on Earth? Follow for more discoveries about the origins of life and what we’re learning from asteroid samples.

🇺🇦 The launcher of the Ukrainian Neptune missile complex has been adapted for the use of new domestically produced Areion cruise missiles 🚀 The launch of the Areion missile is possible from the standard mobile launcher of the Neptune complex. 🎯 The declared operational range of the missile is 600 kilometers, while the warhead weight reaches up to 120 kilograms. The so-called rocket-drone was developed and manufactured by the state enterprise “Kyiv State Design Bureau ‘Luch’”. This adaptation significantly enhances the capabilities of Ukraine’s existing Neptune systems by integrating a new, longer-range cruise missile. With a 600 km range and a substantial warhead, the Areion strengthens Ukraine’s ability to conduct deep strikes on Russian rear areas and critical infrastructure, further increasing pressure on Russian logistics and military production.
