Exclusive: A record-breaking baby has been born from an embryo that’s over 30 years old

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2026-01-16 15:36:56

Cumbersome and explosive In the early days of IVF, embryos earmarked for storage were slow-frozen. This technique involves gradually lowering the temperature of the embryos. But because slow freezing can cause harmful ice crystals to form, clinics switched in the 2000s to a technique called vitrification, in which the embryos are placed in thin plastic tubes called straws and lowered into tanks of liquid nitrogen. This rapidly freezes the embryos and converts them into a glass-like state. The

Despite tighter restrictions on antibiotics used in Canadian beekeeping, honey bee death rates are still rising. A new study led by University of Guelph researchers, published in Nature Sustainability, is the first large-scale project to assess antibiotic usage trends and their impact on honey bee health in Canada.

Countries like Italy and Japan have been famously struggling to raise their birthrates to sustain their aging populations, and it turns out that the United States might not be doing super well, either. New CDC data released this month reveals that while the number of births in the United States increased by 1% from 2023—to 3,628,934 in 2024—the general fertility rate has declined by 1%.

LG’s StanbyMe 2 is an unquestionably cool TV at a questionably high price

LG’s StanbyMe 2 has all the ingredients of a good follow-up gadget: the display is 1440p instead of 1080p, and instead of being trapped on its rollable stand, the screen is detachable for you to use wherever and however you want.

It also has more ports beyond the one HDMI port and one USB-A port in the original model. You’ll get USB-C for connecting laptops, too. I
