In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory supported by the National Science Foundation and operated by Caltech and MIT. It’s designed to detect cosmic gravitational waves and to develop gravitational-wave observations as an astronomical tool. It’s multi-kilometer-scale gravitational wave detectors use laser interferometry to measure the minute ripples in space-time caused by passing gravitational waves. It consists of two widely separated interferometers within the United States—one in Hanford, Washington and the other in Livingston, Louisiana.

Asteroid starships are built by hollowing out an asteroid and creating a habitat inside plus adding a propulsion system.

Icelandic authorities have declared a state of emergency after a series of powerful earthquakes rocked the country’s southwestern Reykjanes peninsula, signalling the increased likelihood of a volcanic eruption in the region.

“The National police chief … declares a state of emergency for civil defence due to the intense earthquake (activity) at Sundhnjukagigar, north of Grindavik,” the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management said in a statement.

Researchers at the University of Oxford, UK have found that butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria, can boost the antimicrobial activity of immune cells in the gut, possibly helping them better fend off bacterial infections and improve immune health.

The study, which exposed human monocytes and macrophages (immune cells) to bacterial infections to simulate real-world scenarios in the lab, backs up ongoing research into the benefits of butyrate as a therapeutic component to combat conditions—from food allergies to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and support immune system function.

On Lex Fridman’s podcast, Elon Musk said he’s “overall okay” but “I don’t think most people would want to be me.”

CAR T treatments help revolutionize treatment of blood cancer. Now, researchers are engineering immune cells to take aim at solid tumors.

AI tools are close to being able to do a host of dangerous things, like walking people through the mistakes they made during a failed attempt at making dangerous pathogens and guiding them to a better protocol. There needs to be a durable way to probe the ways these systems might be misused, even as newer and more powerful technologies are continuously released.
