The discovery comes from scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), who are working to improve an emerging battery design called an anode-free battery. This technology has attracted interest because it removes some of the materials found in ordinary batteries, creating additional room for storing energy. Despite its potential, the design has faced difficulties during repeated charging.…

Europe’s car industry is at a very important point. For many years, gasoline and diesel cars have been a big part of life in Europe. They have supported factories, jobs, and travel.

The main question is simple: should Europe continue with gasoline and diesel cars, or move quickly to electric cars? Current EU rules plan to stop the sale of most new gas and diesel cars by 2035. Some leaders and car companies want more time. They…

Google Employees Quit in Protest Against Pentagon AI Contracts

Several workers at Google’s artificial intelligence division, DeepMind, have decided to leave the company because they are unhappy with its growing role in United States military projects. Their resignations show a deep divide between employees who believe AI should be developed for peaceful and helpful purposes, and a company that is increasingly working with defense institutions. The workers say they are worried that Google’s technology could be used in war zones, especially in systems that help military teams process information and identify possible targets. They argue that modern AI models are still not dependable enough for such serious decisions. In…

LinkedIn has become one of the most popular places for professionals to share ideas, look for jobs, and build connections. But in recent months, many users have complained that their feeds are filled with posts that feel empty, repetitive, and clearly written by artificial intelligence. These posts often use the same structure: a dramatic opening line, a list of short points, a few emojis, and a request for comments or followers. LinkedIn is now taking action because it believes this kind of content could damage the value of the platform. The problem is often called AI slop. It refers to…

Chicago Prepares to Introduce Battery-Powered Commuter Trains

Chicago is preparing to make its commuter rail services cleaner with the introduction of battery-electric trains. Metra, the regional railroad serving the city and surrounding areas, has ordered eight new trainsets from Swiss manufacturer Stadler. The first trains are expected to begin carrying passengers by 2028. Unlike traditional diesel trains, the new trains will run on electricity stored in onboard lithium-ion batteries. This will allow Metra to operate passenger services without installing overhead electric wires along the railway line. The approach could help the agency reduce pollution while avoiding the high cost of upgrading existing railway infrastructure. The trains will…

VERAXA Biotech AG (NASDAQ: VRXA) Expands Human-Relevant Testing Strategy to Advance Antibody-Based Cancer Pipeline

VERAXA is implementing FDA-aligned New Approach Methodologies (“NAMs”) across its preclinical research programs, aiming to improve the relevance of experimental findings to human biology while reducing animal testing. The strategy supports development of the company’s BiTAC(R) T-cell engagers, BiTAC-based antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibody-drug conjugates for the treatment of cancer. New three-dimensional spheroid data reportedly reinforce the ability of VERAXA’s models to assess the dual-target specificity of its lead T-cell engager candidates. An ex vivo study involving 10 low-passage patient-derived xenograft models of non-small cell lung cancer required about 10 mice, compared with an estimated 200 or more for comparable…
