“Neanderthals were among the closest relatives of modern humans, with their lineages diverging around 500,000 years ago.”
“and initially, in a very government way, they said, ‘What if we did 100 species?’”
“they awarded it 4.5/5 stars”
“they are usually thought to have gone extinct about 40,000 years ago.”
“In February, Colossal announced another partnership, this one with the Museum of the Future in Dubai, where scientists are looking to cryopreserve cell and tissue samples from more than 10,000 species.”

“Until the new study, only four were available, three of which came from Russia, at the edge of the Neanderthals' geographic range.”
“up to 30% of the planet’s existing genetic diversity will vanish by as early as 2050”
“We didn't find a single galaxy, but an entire complex of at least six galaxies”
“In the new study, published Wednesday (June 24) in the journal Nature, scientists recovered genetic data from 27 more Neanderthals, including a new high-quality genome...”
“These six galaxies sit at a redshift of 4.0, which equates to a time about 12 billion years ago, just 1.8 billion years after the Big Bang”
“The new data comes from 10 archaeological sites in northwestern Europe, in present-day Belgium and France.”

“After NASA's space shuttle program ended in 2011”
“This enables engineers to vertically stack the nanosheets used to build the previous generation of 2 nm computer chips. The technology used in all conventional circuits — known as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) — demands ex…”

“IBM representatives added in the press briefing that they demonstrated a 40% improvement in the scaling of SRAM memory versus the 2 nm platform.”
“and it's on the metro line, which kids in L.A. can ride for free.”
“And we believe that transition will happen at around 7 angstroms. So within a decade, this will become another mainstream [platform] that we have invented. This is the next jump in technology.”
“After over three decades of ideation, development and construction, the California Science Center has officially announced an opening date for its brand-new Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center...”

“LRO will be passing over the projected crash site about seven days prior to the impact and about seven days after the impact, Garry said.”
“After the impact we might have a little bit more knowledge of where it is. We can do some additional targeting about a week after the impact and get some targeting over where the site is," said Garry.”
