Agentic AI will be a critical differentiating capability. This framework can help business executives define, understand, and prepare for artificial intelligence agents.
A new episode of Robots In Space will premiere on Saturday, January 4th at 1 PM PT.
The topic is the mysterious Noctis Labyrinthus — Labyrinth of Night — on Mars! Mars Express is one of the spacecraft investigating it.
Discover why Noctis Labyrinthus could be humanity’s future home on Mars! Join aerospace engineer Mike DiVerde as he analyzes groundbreaking research from three Mars orbital missions that revealed extensive water systems in this equatorial region. Using data from Mars Express, MRO, and Mars Global Surveyor, learn how ancient groundwater shaped this mysterious labyrinth of canyons near the massive Tharsis volcanoes. This comprehensive analysis explains why Noctis Labyrinthus, with its potential subsurface water, caves, and strategic location, might be the perfect site for future Mars colonization. Whether you’re passionate about Mars exploration or curious about humanity’s next giant leap, this evidence-based examination of Mars geology and potential habitable zones will change how you think about settling the Red Planet.

Researchers used a refined method of ancestry analysis utilizing ancient DNA. This study represents a significant advancement in our understanding of historical population movements.
Researchers can trace human migration through DNA changes, but it’s challenging when historical groups are genetically similar.

As the calendar flips to the second quarter of the century, conversations about the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reaching a fever pitch.
Meanwhile, scientists dug into how psychedelics and MDMA fight off depression and post-traumatic stress disorders. The year was a relative setback for the psychedelic renaissance, with the FDA rejecting MDMA therapy. But the field is still gaining recognition for its therapeutic potential.
Then there’s lenacapavir, a shot that protects people from HIV. Named “breakthrough of the year” by Science, the shot completely protected African teenage girls and women against HIV infection. Another trial supported the results, showing the drug protected people who have sex with men at nearly 100 percent efficacy. The success stems from a new understanding of the protein “capsule” guarding the virus’ genetic material. Many other viruses have a similar makeup—meaning the strategy could help researchers design new drugs to fight them off too.
So, what’s poised to take the leap from breakthrough to clinical approval in 2025? Here’s what to expect in the year ahead.
UC Riverside scientists have developed a nanopore-based tool that could help diagnose illnesses much faster and with greater precision than current tests allow, by capturing signals from individual molecules.
Since the molecules scientists want to detect—generally certain DNA or protein molecules—are roughly one-billionth of a meter wide, the electrical signals they produce are very small and require specialized detection instruments.
“Right now, you need millions of molecules to detect diseases. We’re showing that it’s possible to get useful data from just a single molecule,” said Kevin Freedman, assistant professor of bioengineering at UCR and lead author of a paper about the tool appearing in Nature Nanotechnology. “This level of sensitivity could make a real difference in disease diagnostics.”
Researchers at the Allen Institute have identified a specific brain region in mice where aging triggers significant changes in numerous cell types. The study also pinpointed which cell types undergo the most profound transformations.
This new information, published in the journal Nature, points toward potential approaches for slowing or controlling the aging process in the brain.
The research was focused on numerous glial cell types – the brain’s “support cells” – that demonstrated considerable shifts in gene activity with age. Among the cells most affected were microglia, border-associated macrophages, oligodendrocytes, tanycytes, and ependymal cells.
