Polylaminin, a drug considered capable of reversing spinal cord injury

Hyundai battery plant faces startup delay after US immigration raid, CEO says

A battery plant co-owned by Hyundai Motor is facing a minimum startup delay of two to three months following an immigration raid last week, Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz said on Thursday.

Munoz, in his first public comments since the raid, said he was surpri

Scientists Finally ‘See’ a Proton Move Through Water, and It Only Took 200 Years

For over two centuries, scientists have known that water transports a positive charge through protons. But they had never actually seen it happen—until now. In a Science paper published September 11, Yale researchers reported that they devised a method to track, measure, and effectively “see” a proton’s journey through water. For the experiment, the team used a 30-foot-long mass spectrometer—an instrument that separates different elements by mass—that took years to customize and refine. The dev

Rainmaker Technology’s bid to deploy cloud-seeding flares on small drones is being met by resistance from the airline pilots union, which has urged the Federal Aviation Administration to consider denying the startup’s request unless it meets stricter safety guidelines. The Federal Aviation Administration’s decision will signal how the regulator views weather-modification by unmanned aerial systems going forward. Rainmaker’s bet on small drones hangs in the balance.

Why do browsers throttle JavaScript timers?

Posted August 31, 2025 by Nolan Lawson in performance, Web. Tagged: timers. 9 Comments Even if you’ve been doing JavaScript for a while, you might be surprised to learn that setTimeout(0) is not really setTimeout(0) . Instead, it could run 4 milliseconds later: const start = performance.now() setTimeout(() => { // Likely 4ms console.log(performance.now() - start) }, 0) Nearly a decade ago when I was on the Microsoft Edge team, it was explained to me that browsers did this to avoid “abuse.” I.

Electric vehicle sales grew 25% worldwide but just 6% in North America

Nissan Leaf 2026 Review: Superb Steering, Competitive Pricing

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it. Nissan offers four levels of regenerative braking, controlled via paddle

This is the Most Effective Type of Creatine You Should Be Taking to See Results, According to Registered Dietitians

Why the Samsung S95F is one of the best OLED TVs you can buy - especially at this price

Samsung S95F OLED TV ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung S95F OLED TV delivers an excellent viewing and gaming experience thanks to its superb picture and sound quality, low latency, and the option to disable AI processing. However, this TV is a very expensive investment, especially at larger sizes, and its thin design makes it feel quite fragile. A key color accuracy issue is that the OLED panel runs very blue, which is a significant drawback for this otherwise high-performing TV. View now at A

Small, affordable, efficient: A lot to like about the 2026 Nissan Leaf

Nissan provided flights from Austin to San Diego and then to Washington, DC, and accommodation so Ars could drive the Nissan Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SAN DIEGO—The original Nissan Leaf was a car with a mission. Long before Elon Musk set his sights on Tesla selling vast numbers of electric vehicles to the masses, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn wanted Nissan to shift half a million Leafs a year in the early 2010s. That didn't quite come to pass, but by 2020, it had sold its

Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s

We are entering a golden age of robotics startups — and not just because of AI

When Seth Winterroth left his job at GE Ventures to help launch Eclipse Ventures in 2015, robotics was on his mind. Or more specifically, the number of early-stage robotics startups that were struggling to launch due to lack of interest. “These are teams that had just finished their postdocs at Waterloo, or CMU, or MIT, and were starting robotics companies, and the refrain that I continually heard from the startups was, ‘hey, we’re having a really hard time raising institutional venture capital

I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since. We got our first hint of more affordable flip phones when Motorola started to launch cheaper Razr entries, follo
