The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is still dealing with hydrogen leaks on the Space Launch System (SLS), which has caused delays in the Artemis II mission, Ars Technica noted. The SLS launch rate is slow, making every countdown an experiment. NASA will conduct another fueling test in the coming weeks after troubleshooting the rockets leaky fueling line, but the launch of the Artemis II mission is off until March.
In the medical field, an experimental surgical procedure is helping cancer survivors give birth. Surgeons are pioneering a potential solution by stitching organs out of the way during cancer treatment, according to MIT Technology Review. A baby boy was born after his mother had the procedure, marking the fifth successful case.
The AI community is closely watching the exponential development of AI capabilities, as highlighted by a graph from METR, an AI research nonprofit. The graph suggests that certain AI capabilities are developing at an exponential rate, and more recent model releases have outperformed that already impressive trend, MIT Technology Review reported.
