New memory chip survives temperatures hotter than lava
The electronics inside your phone, your car, and every satellite currently orbiting Earth share one critical weakness: heat. Push them past about 200 degrees Celsius and they start to fail. For decades, that thermal ceiling has been one of the hardest walls in engineering. Now a team at the University of Southern California may have just found a way around it.
In a study published in Science, researchers led by Joshua Yang, Arthur B. Freeman Chair Professor at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the USC School of Advanced Computing, report a new type of electronic memory device that kept working reliably at 700 degrees Celsius, hotter than molten lava and far beyond anything previously achieved in its class. The device showed no signs of reaching its limit. Seven hundred degrees was simply as hot as their testing equipment could go.
“You may call it a revolution,” Yang said. “It is the best high-temperature memory ever demonstrated.”
MHealth Intervention to Improve Hypertension Care in High-Risk Patients
RESEARCH ARTICLE: mHealth Intervention to Improve Hypertension Care in High-Risk Patients @valnp @countryside1991 @PDrawz
BACKGROUND: The mGlide RCT (randomized controlled trial) evaluated whether a pharmacist-led, mobile health technology facilitated care model improves hypertension control in diverse populations. METHODS: We recruited adult English, Spanish, or Hmong-speaking patients with uncontrolled hypertension from a large health care system and smaller community clinics serving low-income patients. Participants were randomized 1:1 to mGlide or usual care. The 6-month intervention included daily blood pressure (BP) self-monitoring using a smartphone and wireless monitor, automated app-based data sharing, and responsive medication adjustment by a pharmacist-led provider-team. Comparison participants received a digital monitor. Outcomes included mean 6-month systolic BP (SBP), 12-month sustained BP control, 24-hour ambulatory BP and patient activation.
A humanoid robot sprints past the human half-marathon world record in Beijing race
The winner from Honor, a Chinese smartphone maker, completed the 21-kilometer (13-mile) race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, according to a WeChat post by the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, also known as Beijing E-Town, where the race kicked off.
That was faster than the human world record holder, Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo, who finished the same distance in about 57 minutes in March at the Lisbon road race.
The performance by the robot marked a significant step forward from last year’s inaugural race, during which the winning robot finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.

How nanomedicine gets inside your cells and treats you from the inside out
Canadians swallow millions of pills every day to treat common health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type II diabetes, but scientists are working at the molecular level to turn patients’ cells into pharmacies.
Nanotechnology, where atoms and molecules are manipulated on a tiny scale—a billion times smaller than a meter—is already incorporated into everyday products like sunscreen, waterproof clothing and smartphones.
In nanomedicine, it’s being used to prompt RNA to make protein-based drugs to treat diseases. Now we can fine-tune protein production by dialing it up or down, creating personalized medicine on an invisible scale.
Google Blocks 8.3B Policy-Violating Ads in 2025, Launches Android 17 Privacy Overhaul
Google this week announced a new set of Play policy updates to strengthen user privacy and protect businesses against fraud, even as it revealed it blocked or removed over 8.3 billion ads globally and suspended 24.9 million accounts in 2025.
The new policy updates relate to contact and location permissions in Android, allowing third-party apps to access the contact lists and a user’s location in a more privacy-friendly manner. This includes a new Contact Picker, which offers a standardized, secure, and searchable interface for contact selection.
“This feature allows users to grant apps access only to the specific contacts they choose, aligning with Android’s commitment to data transparency and minimized permission footprints,” Google said.
Activated neutrophils are a hallmark of acute lung injury
Here, Dolly Mehta & team find loss of ERG in endothelial cells alters neutrophil transcriptome towards inflammatory lineage via IL8/CXCR2 and CXCR2 blockade with Reparixin reduces inflammation, neutrophil infiltration, and improves survival in a pneumonia model.
The figure shows mouse lungs 30 minutes after antibody administration, with increased number of neutrophils (green) in Erg-null mice compared with Ergfl/fl mice. Endothelium (red).

Good Morning! ☀️
Things are going well with this startup that we are building in stealth mode, and I couldn’t be happier about our progress.
But, we are still pre-investment / pre-revenue and I need to find some income to keep the bills paid while we are continuing to build.
I have the free time, and I have all the equipment necessary to do almost anything related to sales, marketing, production, and promotion of products and services.
I’m adept with AI and can help you with real solutions for your business or personal life.
I’m not looking for full-time, or long term work. Campaigns, projects, implementation and development of products and services.
I also have experience in events, trade shows, and conferences if anyone needs additional hands on their next summit or symposium.
I appreciate anything that comes along, at 66 the corporations won’t hire me anymore and so I forced to reach out to my friends and neighbors for opportunities and income.
