THIS KILLS STATIC BIOLOGY PDFS
This guy literally built an app where you can rotate cells, isolate organelles, and compare 3D structures like you're playing a game 🤯

Textbooks are really starting to feel like relics.
Out today: Researchers have made the first cell capable of “feeding, growth, replication, division and selection...entirely using components scientists put there.”
In other words, a cell that self-replicates and was made entirely from the ground-up, molecule by molecule.
The cell is called SpudCell. And although it is definitely a cell (in that it has a membrane with molecules inside) it is definitely not alive, because it cannot grow indefinitely, survive without human help, make its own ribosomes, or recycle waste. It "dies" after a few divisions.
But it's a starting point! And these same researchers have raised $6-8M+ in philanthropic funding to scale their efforts with a new nonprofit for synthetic cell research, called Biotic.
We built an artificial egg and hatched chicks.
The Colossal artificial egg has a bioengineered shell designed to breathe like a real egg. And because a South Island giant moa egg was ~80x larger than a chicken’s, this will be critical tech for bird de-extinction.
In a landmark medical technology milestone, a fully autonomous AI-powered robotic dentist — built by US company Perceptive — completed a full crown preparation on a human patient in just 15 minutes.
The same procedure typically takes a human dentist 2–2.5 hours. The robot used real-time 3D scanning, AI decision-making, and a precision robotic arm to perform the entire procedure without any human guidance or intervention mid-surgery.
This isn't a concept or prototype — it's already been performed on real patients and a peer-reviewed study was published in the Journal of Dentistry in January 2026. Experts say this is the beginning of a transformation: robotic dentists could eliminate human error, work at any hour, and eventually bring high-quality dental care to remote and underserved communities where trained dentists are unavailable. The dental office of 2035 may look very different from today's.
@elonmusk@diana_dukic 1. Improve the search engine, results are often completely irrelevant, especially for news and recent events.
2. The same posts keep appearing over and over, even days later.
3. Too much unwanted content like the algo force me to watch some topics
@XFreeze Not just Whites get blamed. Many Black Americans & Caribbeans look down on Africans: “savages”, “sold their brothers”, “go back to Africa” vibes, cultural superiority. Fanon already said it. History’s more nuanced than “only Whites”
