🚀 European Rocket Crashes after Launch

The first orbital rocket launch from mainland Europe ended in failure on March 30, 2025, when the Spectrum rocket, developed by German start-up Isar Aerospace, crashed and exploded just 40 seconds after takeoff from Norway's Andøya Spaceport.

Despite the failure, Isar Aerospace, the German start-up behind the project, described the mission as a success in terms of data collection and system validation.

☺️ Largest Dinosaur Claw Discovered

Paleontologists have discovered the largest fully preserved dinosaur claw in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, measuring approximately 30 centimeters (nearly a foot). It belonged to the newly identified species Duonychus tsogtbaatari. Herbivorous therizinosaur stood about 3 meters (10 feet) tall and weighed around 270 kilograms (600 pounds). The fossil, which includes parts of the spine, pelvis, arms, and legs, dates back roughly 90 million years.

This remarkable find, featuring an intact keratin sheath and unique two-fingered anatomy, provides unprecedented insights into therizinosaur evolution, anatomy, and behavior.

⚛️ CERN Proposes 91-km Particle Accelerator

CERN has unveiled plans for the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 91-km particle accelerator under Lake Geneva along the French-Swiss border. The FCC is set to revolutionize particle physics, exploring fundamental forces and pushing technological innovation. Its energy levels could potentially surpass those of the Large Hadron Collider by tenfold. If approved, construction may begin in the mid-2040s.

The project includes two phases: the first, starting in the mid-2040s, will focus on high-precision experiments, while the second, expected by 2070, will feature high-energy collisions of protons and heavy ions. Estimated costs are around $14 billion.

🖥 Nvidia Challenger Etched AI Hits $1.5B Valuation

Cupertino-based startup Etched AI closed a $85 million unannounced investment round, reaching a $1.5 billion valuation.

Etched AI develops a specialized chip, Sohu, designed to run AI models. The company declares Sohu is the fastest AI chip of all time and outperforms Nvidia's flagship B200 GPU by 10x. Etched AI says its chip aims to run "tomorrow's trillion-parameter models," predicting that major AI products such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini will run on custom chips instead of usual GPUs within a few years.

Etched is backed by investors, including former CEO Peter Thiel, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, Primary Venture Partners, DVC fund, etc.

❤️ Our team has also invested in Etched through DVC.

💎 DeepMind AI Finds Minecraft Diamond

Google DeepMind's AI, DreamerV3, has learned to mine diamonds in Minecraft completely independently. The model didn't use real human players' experience or pre-written strategies; instead, it employed reinforcement learning to figure out the necessary steps through trial and error within Minecraft's complex world.

Finding diamonds in Minecraft is a difficult task requiring careful planning and resource management. It often takes skilled humans up to 30 minutes, and it serves as a strong test for AI capabilities.

Scientists suggest that DreamerV3's self-learning method could be adapted to train robots and AI for complex, real-world challenges.

🐺Colossal Brings Back the Dire Wolf, Extinct for Over 10,000 Years

Scientists precisely edited the DNA of modern-day gray wolves to create puppies as genetically close as possible to their extinct ancestors. The resulting pups, Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, mark a milestone in de-extinction efforts. The researchers have not yet published details of the process.

Similarly, the company plans to bring back the woolly mammoth by genetically editing the Asian elephant. The first step toward this, "woolly mice," was demonstrated in March.

🌐 Google's AI Division Pays Developers Full Salary for Staying Inactive

DeepMind's noncompete agreements for departing employees range from six months to one year, with longer durations typically reserved for senior researchers or those working on critical projects such as Google's Gemini AI models. During this "garden leave," employees receive full pay but cannot work for competitors.

This policy focuses on key personnel whose skills could greatly benefit rival companies in the fast-moving AI industry.

However, many researchers are frustrated. They worry that long periods of inactivity might leave them behind during a critical phase of AI development and innovation.
