Then, in a process Kukushkin described as a tedious choreography of clockwork pipetting, they exposed the cells to precisely timed bursts of chemicals that imitated bursts of neurotransmitters in the brain. Kukushkin’s team found that the both the nerve and kidney cells could finely differentiate these patterns. A steady three-minute burst activated CRE, making the cells glow for a few hours.

Is the Dream Chaser space plane ever going to launch into orbit?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-19 22:56:58

When will Sierra Space's winged vehicle, Dream Chaser, finally take flight? Unfortunately, it's still not clear. Almost certainly, however, it won't be this year. The Dream Chaser space plane has now been under development for more than two decades, and it has a huge cult following because its winged shape mimics the iconic Space Shuttle. However, during a recent news briefing, a senior NASA official would only say this about a launch date: "We will be ready for them when they're ready to fly."

Electricity Prices are Going Up, and AI Is to Blame

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-20 03:25:59

Your electricity bill has likely gone up over the course of the past year. That’s because you’re effectively paying an AI tax. According to a report from Axios, the cost of electricity is climbing across the country, driven primarily by the increasing energy demands of massive data centers being built to train and run AI models. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed the cost of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity rose from 16.41 cents to 17.47 cents over the course of the past
