Nitecore's ultra-slim, 3,000-lumen pocket torch flattens EDC

Last year, Nitecore put a new emphasis on "flat light" with its EDC27. And while the compact torch isn't the only flashlight to take on a slim, remote control-like form, it does offer one of the best all-around light-to-slimness ratios we've seen on the market. After a little LED and electronics tinkering, Nitecore has bested itself with the EDC25, a slightly lighter flashlight that fires out the same 3,000 lumens but with more throw, intensity and overall runtime.

Cow's milk particles unlock one of medicine’s most challenging puzzles

One of the biggest challenges researchers face is making injectable medicines into versions that can be taken orally. Oral medications usually fail because they can’t withstand the harsh environment of the gut, which leads to poor bioavailability - a drug’s ability to be absorbed and exert a therapeutic effect on the body.

Hybrid brain lets one species' neurons help out another's

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the first time one animal’s cells have been used to rescue another’s senses, and it represents a step forward in regenerative medicine.

CATL's 1,000-km LFP EV battery super-charges at 1 km/sec

CATL made headlines around the globe last August when it presented the Shenxing battery, an LFP pack capable of adding 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range in a mere 10 minutes at the charger. Not a year later, and that pack's powering actual cars. This year, the company has rolled the tech into an even more impressive pack it calls the Shenxing Plus, a battery that not only pushes into four-figure range territory but also charges in 600 km (373 miles) of range in the time it takes for a bathroom-and-snacks run.

19,000-year-old biosphere with links to Mars discovered beneath desert

As the driest nonpolar desert in the world, the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is home to very few species of plants and animals. With rainfall often occurring only once a decade, the desert is so dry that NASA uses it as a stand-in for the Martian landscape. But what’s living beneath the parched surface? New research suggests it’s very small, abundant, and old, very old.

Anti-aging biopharma company raises $40 million to begin human tests

“As people live longer, improving quality of life is paramount,” said Alex Morgan, a partner at Khosla Ventures, who chipped in to fund Rubedo’s first round of venture capital financing. “Rubedo is targeting senescent, or aging, cells that drive age-related disease. This first trial can bring us another step closer to achieving better healthspan.”
