Lifeboat Foundation

LEV Foundation’s flagship research program is a sequence of large mouse lifespan studies, each involving the administration of (various subsets of) at least four interventions that have, individually, shown promise in others’ hands in extending mean and maximum mouse lifespan and healthspan.

We focus on interventions that have shown efficacy when begun only after the mice have reached half their typical life expectancy, and mostly on those that specifically repair some category of accumulating, eventually pathogenic, molecular or cellular damage. The first study in this program is starting in January 2023.

The buzz will likely ramp up even more when OpenAI releases a superior next version of the A.I. chatbot, reportedly sometime next year.

Speaking of buzz, few people have been generating more of it lately than Elon Musk, who leads Tesla, SpaceX, and now Twitter, among other companies. As it turns out, Musk has ties to OpenAI, including as an original backer, and has been involved in both supporting artificial intelligence and warning about its dangers.

This month Musk called ChatGPT “scary good” and warned, “We are not far from dangerously strong AI.”

By using light waves that essentially spiral through space like corkscrews, optical logic gates can run one million times faster than their electronic counterparts, advancing the cause for ultra-fast, light-based computing, a new study finds.

Even guardians of America’s atomic clocks say time doesn’t work the way we think it does.

The United Kingdom government has announced that Virgin Atlantic will fly a historic net zero London-New York flight in 2023.

“For decades, flying from London to New York has symbolized aviation’s ability to connect people and drive international progress. It’s now going to be at the forefront of cutting carbon emissions from flying,” said British transport secretary Mark Harper.

“Not only will this flight pave the way for future generations, but it will demonstrate just how much we can achieve when we work together on a shared goal — bringing together some of the best businesses and academics in the world and led by a British airline.”

AI is used by the robotic solution to swiftly adapt to all types of blades used in the sector.

Danish energy solutions provider Vestas has unveiled BladeRobots as a stand-alone business with an automated robotic technology solution for the maintenance of wind turbines.

The robot performs automated blade-leading edge maintenance up to “four times faster” than traditional manual methods, according to a press release by the company published on Wednesday.

So far the mission has produced information on Io, Ganymede and Europa.

NASA’s Juno mission already brought us much data on the moons Ganymede and Europa. Now, according to a press release by the agency published on Wednesday, the spacecraft is exploring one more of Jupiter’s moons: Io. Io is notably the most volcanic place in the solar system.
