No place in children's hands: <16s in UK to be banned from buying energy drinks

news.ycombinator.com Denis Campbell 2025-10-18 23:29:42

Under-16s in England will be banned from buying energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster because they fuel obesity, cause sleep problems and leave them unable to concentrate. Health experts, teaching unions and dentists welcomed the ban and said it would boost children and young people’s health. It fulfils a pledge Labour included in its manifesto for last year’s general election. “How can we expect children to do well at school if they have the equivalent of a double espresso in their syste

Advanced geothermal startups are just getting warmed up

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-18 23:14:54

When Congressional Republicans took a sledgehammer to the Inflation Reduction Act last summer, advanced geothermal startups were largely spared. Drilling for renewable energy appears to be one of the few things that engenders bipartisan support. Now, with the uncertainty settled, geothermal companies are announcing deals that promise to pave the way for broader deployment of their technology. Houston-based Fervo Energy said on Tuesday it has picked a supplier for key parts of its power plants,

OTC nasal spray seemed to cut COVID infections by 67% in mid-sized trial

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-19 19:36:26

Daily squirts of a safe, over-the-counter allergy nasal spray may prevent COVID-19 infections from taking hold, according to results published Tuesday in JAMA Internal Medicine. In a mid-staged trial, the spray appeared to reduce infections by promising 67 percent, though a larger trial will need to confirm that robust efficacy. The trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial conducted by researchers at Germany's Saarland University between March 2023 and July 2024. T

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-21 19:30:00

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage. The seven-year-old startup, incubated at IIT Kanpur, has developed a proprietary zinc-bromine-based battery system as an alternative to lithium-ion technology. Called ZincGel,

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5.

Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him.

Why Is Tech Worried When Stocks Like Chevron Drop On Global Oil Worries?
