The next drug lab is in orbit

Space, which have been largely dominated by rockets, satellites and astronauts up until now, is gearing up to welcome a relatively new player — drugmakers — with the acceleration of commercial space vehicle race across the globe. As microgravity in space allows proteins to grow into larger and more uniform crystals, it helps scientists better understand the three-dimensional structures of disease-related proteins. This helps drug discovery by giving an accurate picture of the shape drug molecule

"It didn't look like things were going to change anytime soon": Valve insist price worries were never behind Steam Machine delays

The new Steam Machine is pretty neat, but it’s walked a long and painful road to reach yesterday’s launch. A secret work-in-progress at Valve since at least 2023, it would be late 2025 before an initial public showing, and subsequent delays – blamed on industry-wide components shortages and the resultant price gouging – meant it that it when it did open for orders, it would be months later and at considerably greater expense than planned. The volatility and unpredictability of the pricing situation may have conjured up images of a hopeful Valve crew, sat with crossed fingers atop a hoard of finished Steam Machines, ready to launch but holding back until production costs settle back down – allowing for a more enticing street price in turn. This, however, was never the case, as Steam Machine designer Lawrence Yang and engineer Yazan Aldehayyat told me over a video call last week. Read more

On the deployment of weapons systems in the special military operation zone I would like to highlight that many types of weapons have undergone significant development since the special military operation began. I will cite just one figure: last year, over a thousand types of weapons and equipment, including unmanned aerial vehicles with advanced guidance systems, loitering munitions, various robotic systems and many others, were tested in combat conditions. Moreover, a rapid exchange of information has been established between frontline troops and defence companies. The feedback channels allow us to collect data on the effectiveness of weapons and equipment, taking into account the assessments by service members who actually use the weapons on the battlefield. <...> However, no advances in producing state-of-the-art weaponry can substitute for the courage and professionalism of our warriors.
