A new mRNA therapy could rejuvenate key immune cells in the body, helping fight infections and cancer, a mouse study suggests.T cells help train other immune cells to fight disease. However, as the body ages, these T cells become less active and less responsive to threats. Additionally, the thymus gland, where T cells mature, begins to shrink with age. These effects of aging may explain why vaccines and immune-boosting cancer treatments are less effective in older people than in younger adults, Nature News reported.In a new study published in Nature on December 17, scientists tried to use messenger RNA (mRNA)…
India has ordered Elon Musk’s India’s IT Ministry on Friday issued an order directing Musk’s X to take remedial action against Grok, including restricting it from producing content containing “nudity, sexual content, sexually explicit content, or otherwise unlawful” content. The ministry also gave social media platforms 72 hours to submit action reports detailing the steps they have taken to prevent the hosting or distribution of content deemed “obscene, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, sexually explicit, pedophilic, or prohibited by law.” The order, seen by TechCrunch, warns that failure to comply could jeopardize Company X’s “safe harbor” protections, or legal immunity for user-generated…

Tesla’s annual sales have fallen for the second year in a row, with the decline exacerbated by the elimination of U.S. federal tax credits and competition from Chinese automakers. Tesla will deliver 1.63 million vehicles globally in 2025, down 9% from 1.79 million in 2024, according to figures released by the company. Notably, approximately 50,850 of these vehicles are considered “other models,” a collection that includes the Cybertruck and its older Model X and Model S. Tesla reported sales of 418,227 vehicles in the fourth quarter, down 15.6% from a year earlier and far exceeding analysts’ expectations. Tesla shares fell…
No company has capitalized on the AI revolution more dramatically than Nvidia. Its revenue, profitability, and cash reserves have skyrocketed since the introduction of ChatGPT over three years ago — and the many competitive generative AI services that have launched since. Its stock price has soared, making it a $4.6 trillion market cap company. The world’s leading high-performance GPU maker has used its ballooning fortunes to significantly increase investments in startups, particularly in AI. Nvidia has participated in nearly 67 venture capital deals in 2025, surpassing the 54 deals the company completed in all of 2024, according to PitchBook data. Note…
Parvathy Sobha, Brida Mbuwir, and Bart Overdevest discuss how Europe can strengthen energy security by learning from the Nordic model, showing that high penetration of renewable energy, strong grid integration, and coordinated markets can deliver reliable net-zero electricity systems. Renewable energy is transforming Europe’s energy landscape, but the rapid green transition is testing the stability of the electricity grid. The Iberian blackout exposed the risks of ambition outweighing system flexibility. But in the north, it’s a different story. Nordic countries are integrating huge proportions of renewable energy while keeping the lights on, proving that reliability and decarbonization can go hand…
The group traveled thousands of miles across Africa and the Middle East, finally arriving in the dark forests of the New World. They were part of a long-vanished tribe of modern humans, Homo sapiens, who were among the first to invade Europe.There, these people probably met their distant relatives – Neanderthals.Close relatives of modern humans, these small groups have hooded eyebrows, large heads, and stocky bodies, and have spent a long time adapting to Europe’s cold climate. At some point over several millennia, these two forms of humanity would meet, intermingle, and mate. you may like Tens of thousands of…
If 2025 was the year that confirmed the vibe of AI, 2026 will be the year that the technology becomes commercially available. The focus is already shifting from building ever-larger language models to the more difficult task of enabling AI. In practice, it involves deploying smaller models in the right places, embedding intelligence into physical devices, and designing systems that integrate cleanly into human workflows. Experts TechCrunch spoke to said 2026 will be a year of transformation, from aggressive scaling to exploring new architectures, from flashy demos to targeted deployments, and from agents promising autonomy to agents that actually extend…
Threat actors known as Transparent Tribe are believed to have launched new attacks targeting government, academic, and strategic organizations in India using remote access Trojans (RATs) that allow them to take permanent control over compromised hosts. “The campaign uses deceptive delivery techniques, including weaponized Windows shortcut (LNK) files that disguise as legitimate PDF documents and embed full PDF content to avoid user suspicion,” CYFIRMA said in a technical report. Transparent Tribe, also known as APT36, is a hacker group known for launching cyber espionage operations against organizations in India. The state-sponsored adversary, believed to be of Indian origin, has been…
Strict mathematical limits are placed on the supposed “creativity” of artificial intelligence (AI), according to a study published Nov. 11 in the Journal of Creative Behavior.David Cropley, Professor of Engineering Innovation at the University of South Australia and sole author of the study, found that the limits of AI’s capabilities lie between the amateur and professional levels of humans, meaning that AI will never surpass the creativity of the most talented human artists.But Cropley’s findings did little to allay fears that AI will wipe out creative sectors of the economy. Experts continue to debate the creative potential of AI, and…
