Big Businesses Are Doing Carbon Dioxide Removal All Wrong

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority on the topic. But only some types of carbon removal are actually effective—and these are largely not the kind that major companies are investing in. A new report from the NewClimate Institute, a European think

Telepathy is, until proven otherwise, still science fiction. But a new wearable announced this week aims to bring the world closer to silent communication, though it's more about using brain signals than the X-Men superpower.

We first saw the Alterego as a prototype in 2018

Life, work, death and the peasant: Rent and extraction

Opendoor board chair Rabois says company is 'bloated,' needs to cut 85% of workforce

Opendoor co-founder and newly minted board chair Keith Rabois said remote work and a "bloated" workforce have been a drag on the company's culture, as he vowed to slash headcount. "There's 1,400 employees at Opendoor. I don't know what most of them do. We don't need more than 200 of them," Rabois told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Friday. The online real estate platform on Wednesday appointed former Shopify executive Kaz Nejatian as its new CEO after investor pressure caused his predecessor

Education report calling for ethical AI use contains over 15 fake sources

On Friday, CBC News reported that a major education reform document prepared for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador contains at least 15 fabricated citations that academics suspect were generated by an AI language model—despite the same report calling for "ethical" AI use in schools. "A Vision for the Future: Transforming and Modernizing Education," released August 28, serves as a 10-year roadmap for modernizing the province's public schools and post-secondary institutions. The

Gene-edited pancreatic cells transplanted into a patient with type 1 diabetes

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction. For the first time, researchers succeeded in implanting Crispr-edited pancreatic cells in a man with type 1 diab
