Scientists May Let You Regrow Teeth by 2030
Sink your teeth into this.
Japanese scientists are advancing human clinical trials of a drug that could allow people to regrow lost teeth.
The treatment targets a gene called USAG1, which normally shuts down tooth development after your adult teeth come in. By blocking that gene, researchers are essentially restarting the body’s natural tooth-growth process.
Phase I trials began in September 2024 with 30 adult men missing at least one tooth. If successful, the treatment could potentially be available by around 2030.
Dentures? Implants?
What if you could just… grow a new tooth?
Would you try this?
Scientific Notation Operations Simplified | A-to-Z Tutorial
In this video, you’ll learn how to perform all four operations in scientific notation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The lesson explains how to work with powers of ten, adjust exponents correctly, and avoid common calculation mistakes.
Special attention is given to addition and subtraction in scientific notation, including how and when to rewrite numbers so their exponents match before combining them.
This video is ideal for students studying chemistry, physics, and general science, where scientific notation is used to handle very large and very small numbers efficiently.
Topics covered:
Review of scientific notation.
Multiplication in scientific notation.
Division in scientific notation.
Addition in scientific notation (matching exponents)
Subtraction in scientific notation.
Common mistakes and exam tips.
Designed for middle school, high school, and introductory college learners.
Deep characterization of refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE) and insights into the role of invasive monitoring
This study provides detailed electro-clinical characterization of surgically treated MOGHE patients and highlights the impact of SEEG on their outcome.
Objective Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment option for patients with medically refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE). The success of surgery depends on the accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone, which can be challenging due to the subtle imaging features. The aim of this project was to provide an in-depth electro-clinical characterization of MOGHE in patients with medically intractable epilepsy, and to assess the role of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) in tailoring the resection and optimizing surgical outcome.
Researcher skeptical of ‘Havana syndrome’ tested secret weapon on himself
“Working in strict secrecy, a government scientist in Norway built a machine capable of emitting powerful pulses of microwave energy and, in an effort to prove such devices are harmless to humans, in 2024 tested it on himself. He suffered neurological symptoms similar to those of ”Havana syndrome,” the unexplained malady that has struck hundreds of U.S. spies and diplomats around the world.
The bizarre story, described by four people familiar with the events, is the latest wrinkle in the decade-long quest to find the causes of Havana syndrome, whose sufferers experience long-lasting effects including cognitive challenges, dizziness and nausea. The U.S. government calls the events Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs).
The secret test in Norway has not been previously reported. The Norwegian government told the CIA about the results, two of the people said, prompting at least two visits in 2024 to Norway by Pentagon and White House officials.
The CIA investigated a Norwegian government experiment with a pulsed-energy machine in which a researcher built and tested a ”Havana syndrome” device on himself.

The Truth About Merging With AI
Will humans one day merge with artificial intelligence? Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts a coming “singularity” where humans upload their minds into digital systems, expanding intelligence and potentially achieving immortality. But critics argue that consciousness, creativity, love, and spiritual awareness cannot be reduced to algorithms. This discussion explores brain-computer interfaces, quantum mechanics and the mind, the Ship of Theseus identity paradox, and whether a digital copy of your brain would actually be you. Is AI-driven immortality possible—or does it misunderstand what it means to be human?
Every year the Center sponsors COSM an exclusive national summit on the converging technologies remaking the world as we know it. Visit COSM.TECH (https://cosm.tech/) for information on COSM 2025, November 19–21 at the beautiful Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Spas in Scottsdale, AZ. For more information. Registration will launch mid-July.
The mission of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute is to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals—and our society at large—to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.

Colonists dredged away Sydney’s natural oyster reefs. Now, scientists know how best to restore them
New research has identified optimal design for artificial habitats to support restoration of oyster reefs, based on a detailed understanding of natural oyster reef geometry. Published in the global journal Nature, the Sydney-based study shows the complex shapes of natural oyster reefs are not random—their structure and arrangement optimize the establishment and survival of developing oysters and their protection from predators.
Oysters are really “ecosystem engineers,” building their own reefs made up of living oysters and the discarded shells of previous generations, explains lead author of the study, Dr. Juan Esquivel-Muelbert of Macquarie University.
“But reefs aren’t just piles of shells or skeletons,” says Dr. Esquivel-Muelbert. “Reefs are finely tuned 3D systems. Their shape controls who lives, who dies and how fast the reef grows.”
