Aging senescent cells do not become hypometabolic.
Instead they become HYPERmetabolic, burning energy faster than their younger selves.
This likely steals energy for other useful cellular functions, possibly accounting for their aberrant behaviors.

ROCHESTER — How long can you stand on one leg?
The answer to that question is linked with aging and one’s risk of falling, new research out of Mayo Clinic finds. The paper “Age-related changes in gait, balance, and strength parameters: A cross-sectional study” appears in the journal PLOS ONE today, Oct. 23.
A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric.
DGIST Professor Youngu Lee and Jeonbuk National University Professor Jaehyuk Lim successfully developed an ultra-sensitive, transparent, and flexible electronic skin mimicking the neural network in the human brain. — Applicable across different areas, including healthcare wearable devices and transparent display touch panels.
Vice President of Generative Artificial Intelligence at Adobe Alexandra Kostin in an interview The Verge said that creators will not be able to succeed in the new world if they do not use artificial intelligence.

Adobe itself is no longer even planning to launch products for artists without AI, despite criticism from people who like to do things manually or oppose the way artificial intelligence is changing the creative industry.
Early experiments suggest a patch that delivers harmless electric currents into the skin can thwart certain bacterial infections. However, it has not yet been tested in humans.

BIOHACKER Bryan Johnson who’s shelling out millions in his quest for immortality has revealed the exact steps he follows to reverse his hair loss and get rid of greys.
The tech-tycoon, 47, claimed he’s been able to grow a full head of hair despite being “genetically bald” through a mix of supplements, red light therapy and customised hair oil.

A cornerstone of the US fusion research program, the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, has accomplished a major achievement. The nuclear fusion facility has completed its 200,000th experimental cycle.
“While completing 200,000 shots is impressive in its own right, this achievement is far more than a mere number,” said Dr Richard Buttery, Director of the DIII-D National Fusion Facility.
Nuclear fusion has long been hailed as the “holy grail” of clean energy. It is the process of nuclear fusion itself that powers the sun and stars. Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms and generates radioactive waste, fusion involves combining lighter atoms to form heavier ones.
The reason? While sunny regions naturally provide enough light to grow crops, areas with colder winters often need grow lights and greenhouses part of the year. This increases energy consumption, logistical headaches, and ultimately, food costs.
In their paper, Jiao and colleagues argue for a new method that could dramatically revamp farming practices to reduce land use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Dubbed “electro-agriculture,” the approach uses solar panels to trigger a chemical reaction that turns ambient CO2 into an energy source called acetate. Certain mushrooms, yeast, and algae already consume acetate as food. With a slight genetic tweak, we could also engineer other common foods such as grains, tomatoes, or lettuce to consume acetate.
