In 1928, the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming returned from a two-week vacation and realized he had made a significant oversight. In his haste to leave for his holiday, he had left a messy pile of petri dishes on his workstation. As he began to dispose of the dishes, something unusual caught his eye: a mold had formed around the bacteria in one of the petri dishes.
Upon closer examination, Fleming made a startling discovery. The mold wasn’t just growing—it was actively inhibiti
Russia went toe to toe with the rest of the world on Monday at the U.N. General Assembly, where officials overwhelmingly condemned Moscow’s veto last month of a measure reaffirming that nuclear weapons would not be placed in orbit.
The meeting gave member nations an opportunity to present their views on the weaponization of space and, more specifically, to respond to Russia’s unilateral veto of a joint proposal from the U.S. and Japan that was cosponsored by 65 nations. In a surpri
When Dr. Tamir Wolf diagnosed his wife and a former boss with appendicitis in 2016, he referred each to a different hospital for their appendectomies. Though his wife was in and out within 12 hours and had a smooth recovery, his boss nearly died.
“It was mind-boggling,” Wolf says. “They had very similar situations, very different decisions, very different treatments and very different outcomes.” In an effort to reduce outcome disparities between hospitals and even surgeons, Wolf la
Working at Tesla just got a lot more competitive—as in, practically impossible. At least for now. That’s because the 140,000-person company, which recently laid off a huge chunk of its workforce, now seems to be in a near-complete hiring freeze, Quartz reported today.
Just weeks ago, over 3,400 positions were available across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Now, only three

Google Deepmind has unveiled the third major version of its “AlphaFold” artificial intelligence model, designed to help scientists design drugs and target disease more effectively.
In 2020, the company made a significant advance in molecular biology by using AI to successfully predict the behaviour of microscopic proteins.
With the latest incarnation of AlphaFold, research
Google DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold AI system to not only predict the structure of proteins, but also to model how proteins interact with other cell structures, including DNA, RNA, and small molecules that are often used in drugs. The new system, called AlphaFold 3, can model the ways in which proteins “read” our DNA and then car
TikTok’s general manager in Germany, Tobias Henning, has gone on leave as the company launches an investigation into his behavior following allegations of verbal abuse, Fast Company has learned.
Several current and former TikTok employees allege that Henning, who has worked with the company since October 2020 and oversees “development of the strategy, the product and operations in Germany” according to an of
Two gadgets in technology’s hottest new category have shipped. They arrive with great expectations, in part because their makers have promoted them with Barnumesque aplomb. But both are missing basic functionality. Worse, some of what is there doesn’t really work. Despite promises of updates to come, they get dismal reviews, an albatross that’s tough for any product to overcome.
Okay, the two products I’m talking about are the BlackBerry PlayBook an
