The company itself has been silent, but this is the latest in a string of bad signs, and it’s a big one—at one point 24M was worth over $1 billion, and the company’s innovations could have worked with existing technology. So where does that leave the battery industry? Many buzzy battery startups in recent years have been trying to sell some new, innovative chemistry to compete with lithium-ion batteries, the status quo that powers phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and even grid storage arrays today. Think sodium-ion batteries and solid-state cells. 24M wasn’t trying to sell a departure from lithium-ion but…

The potential of digital transformation in Africa’s healthcare sector is perhaps most visible in its ability to reach those long left behind—millions living in rural and semi-rural communities. These areas continue to face deep-rooted barriers to quality medical care, including geographic isolation, fragile infrastructure, and limited access to skilled health professionals. Here, satellite technology is proving to be far more than a connectivity solution, it’s fast becoming a cornerstone of health tech innovation across the continent. At its core, healthtech cannot function without dependable connectivity. Whether it’s enabling telemedicine, facilitating electronic health records, or powering remote diagnostics, a reliable internet…

In 2008, scientists did something extraordinary. For the first time, they built the full genetic code of a bacterium in the lab. That laid the foundation for being able to place the synthetic genome inside a cell and in a way “restart” the biological machinery. Many scientists described this as the first form of synthetic life. Now that scientists are armed with AI, can they take a step forward? We know that AI is capable of learning patterns across trillions of DNA letters. Could that shift genome design from manual engineering to machine generation? That is exactly what a team…

Holograms are a mainstay of science fiction, popping up across the great expanses of Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo, and The Expanse. If a story is set in the future, or in space, it’s probably got a hologram in it. Unfortunately, this is less the case in real life, despite many tech companies eager to make holograms a reality.The latest effort to beam a holographic device into our world comes from Looking Glass, a Brooklyn-based company that has been dabbling in 3D holographic screens for nearly a decade. Today, it announced the Musubi, a consumer-focused digital picture frame.Courtesy of Looking…
