Low-protein diets promote health and longevity in diverse species. Restriction of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine recapitulates many of these benefits in young C57BL/6J mice. Restriction of dietary isoleucine (IleR) is sufficient to promote metabolic health and is required for many benefits of a low-protein diet in C57BL/6J males. Here, we …

Stephen Wolfram’s conclusions: 00:49 Won’t AI Eventually Be Able to Do Everything? AI cannot solve science but it can contribute to speeding up science Science was transformed by math centuries ago. What can we expect AI to be able or unable to do for science? 5:01 The Hard Limit of Computational Irreducibility This constrains what …
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation’s (CASIC) plans to build a giant magnetic launcher to propel airplanes up to speeds where they can start hypersonic scramjet engines. CASIC has built a 2000 meter long low-vacuum track high-speed maglev test facility in the industrial heartland of Datong, Shanxi province. This is able to accelerate heavy object …
SpaceX has shown us the inside of the Starship while it was in orbit and opening the Pez bay door. Gases in the bay were shown escaping the door. This would be the real life venting into space shown in many science fiction movies. They also provide the first footage of re-entry plasma heating. This …
Figure AI humanoid bot responds to questions about what it sees and correctly identifies an apple on plate, dishes and the person. The humanoid bot then acts to use those objects to perform a request. This showed basic reasoning capability. Figure AI was recently funded with $675 million by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, …
SpaceX Starship is stacked and ready for its third orbital test launch. The liquid oxygen release systems are fixed from the last launch. I, Brian Wang, believe that this launch will be successful and there will be launches every month starting from this month. The pace of launches will then increase to every week or …
