Ethiopia could save coffee from climate change

Nearly all of the world's coffee harvest comes from just two varieties - Arabica and Robusta. Both of these plants are considered vulnerable to warming and reductions in rainfall. Scientists have created a model and concluded that in the future, Arabica can be grown in Ethiopia, whereas in other regions, climate change will make this more difficult or impossible. Currently, up to 31% of Ethiopia's territory is suitable for Arabica production. By 2080, the area of suitable land will double or more, but it will shift to the north and northwest of the country.

Artist Creates Portraits with Glass Cracks

Tesla's Robotaxi Service Testing

Tesla has been testing its robotaxi service for several months. It turns out that Tesla has been running pilotless taxis for its employees in San Francisco for several months. The cars are operated autonomously using the latest version of the Full Self-Driving program, but a driver is still behind the wheel, ready to intervene if necessary. Elon Musk is confident that by the end of 2024 their system will be "1000 times better than human driving" and plans to launch the paid service in California and Texas as early as next year, as soon as Tesla obtains all necessary permits.

Microsoft to Allow Companies to 'Hire' Virtual Employees

Microsoft has announced new capabilities for creating autonomous AI-driven assistants in Copilot Studio. The feature will be available as soon as next month. Virtual assistants can be customized for specific tasks, without the need for programming skills or other technical knowledge. These agents will help automate processes in sales, service, finance, and logistics.

Chinese Scientists Defeat Death

Chinese scientists have managed to overcome death - they revived a pig's brain 50 minutes after death. Currently, a human brain dies 5-8 minutes after cardiac arrest - this is the time for possible resuscitation. However, the Chinese managed to extend this period to nearly an hour using an artificial heart, native liver, and a special fluid. Humans are next in line - scientists are waiting for the 'right' moment for testing.

American Builds Smallest Micro House

American Levi Kelly has built the smallest micro house with a total area of only 1.8 m². The tiny dwelling has all the essentials: a sofa, bed, mini-kitchen, and toilet. There is also an outdoor shower, and electricity is generated from solar panels on the roof. He says he spent $5000 on the project and now hopes to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

American Woman Found with Five Extra Organs

An American woman was found with five extra organs. Initially, a woman named Mel approached doctors with terrible abdominal pain. At first, doctors mistakenly stated that she had a tumor near her uterus. On the second examination, Mel was found to have: two uteruses, four ovaries, two cervixes, and three kidneys. It turned out that she had absorbed her twin sister in the womb.

American Rocket Lab builds world's largest 3D printer

The American company Rocket Lab has built the world's largest 3D printer, which will be used to manufacture reusable space rockets from carbon fiber. The machine, as tall as a 4-story building, weighs 70 tons and is capable of laying down layers at a speed of 100 meters per minute, saving about 150,000 man-hours in the production of new Neutron rockets. It is planned that they can carry up to 13 tons of payload into orbit, with the first launch scheduled for next year.

Zombie Virus Outbreak on Japanese Shinkansen

A zombie virus outbreak occurred on the Japanese Shinkansen. Fortunately, it was just for fun. They decided to spice up the journey in the style of 'Train to Busan' in honor of the upcoming Halloween. Special tickets were sold for the trip, so all passengers were informed in advance and, according to them, it turned out really cool.

Chinese Man Hacks Autopilot

Social media is abuzz with discussions about a Chinese man who hacked his car's autopilot and drives at 100 km/h on the highway while lying under a blanket. During his trips, he watches movies and bypasses the safety system with a simple trick using a bottle to simulate a hand on the steering wheel. The video has gone viral with millions of views and has reached Zeekr's top executives, who reiterated that one should never do this and must always pay attention to the road, no matter how advanced the autopilot is.

Scientists discover 'glue' in the human brain that preserves memory

Scientists have discovered a 'glue' in the human brain that preserves memory. Because the molecules in our brain are constantly being replaced, the 'building blocks' of memory are short-lived - we forget what happened a few days ago. But the newly discovered KIBRA molecule acts like a 'glue' that anchors enzymes with critically important neuronal connections. Thus, the most important memories are not lost and stay with us for a lifetime.

Google Actively Testing Robots for Server Maintenance

Google is actively testing robots for server maintenance. A vice president of Google mentioned that the company is focusing on GPU racks. According to him, robotics has the potential to radically transform operations in data centers by increasing their scalability, security, and reliability. The robots perform tasks such as installing, moving, and disassembling components, monitoring, repairing, and maintaining equipment. Alongside Google, companies like Microsoft, Digital Edge, Digital Realty, Scala Data Centers, and Oracle have also been experimenting with robotics to automate processes in their data centers since 2023.

Five Years of Starship Evolution

Five years of Starship evolution - from a small module to the world's largest rocket that can land on a tower. The early prototypes of 2019 had one engine with a mass simulator, and they ascended to a height of only 150 m. Now the rocket is performing suborbital flights and complex maneuvers, which no one else is currently able to replicate. In just a couple of years, Starship is intended to be used for sending astronauts to the Moon, and as Musk promises, in 2026 it will also fly to Mars for the first time, but initially in an unmanned mode without a crew.

Swiss Startup Delegates Euthanasia Responsibility to AI

A Swiss startup that developed the 'death capsule' has decided to delegate the responsibility for euthanasia to artificial intelligence. After the first instance of using the device led to criminal prosecution of a doctor for assisting suicide, the creators found a simple solution - to transfer control to a neural network. The idea is that if the euthanasia process is controlled by a machine, legal claims can be excluded.

Hong Kong Startup Releases Foldable Robot Cart

A Hong Kong startup has released a foldable robot cart for outdoor adventures and shopping trips. It is controlled via remote, automatically maintains the desired speed, and can carry up to 82 kg of cargo. The charge lasts for 10 km, and the battery can be used separately as a power bank. Additionally, it has a built-in light and a cover that turns this device into a table.
