In Israel, a lab fine-tuned the process needed to concoct a synthetic human embryo, which could be used to study birth defects and more.
Sign up for our email newsletter for the latest science newsResearch involving human embryos is famously difficult and fraught with ethical quandaries, but a new synthetically derived model could open new doors in the study of infertility and birth defects.in Israel and follows years of research by labs around the world into producing a similar clump of cells.
To develop their unique clump of cells, Hanna’s team took stem cells from human skin and preexisting cultures and reverted them to a blank or “naïve” state. This aligned them with the cells generally found inside a seven-day-old embryo, at the time when it embeds itself in the womb. “An embryo is self-driven by definition,” said Hanna. “We don’t need to tell it what to do. We must only unleash its internally encoded potential.”

Synthetic graphite for EV batteries: Can the West crack China's code?New investments in the United States and Europe aim to challenge China’s stranglehold on a key ingredient used in most electric vehicle batteries – graphite – but industry experts said that will be an uphill battle. The focus is shifting to a new front: Synthetic graphite, an element developed in the late 19th century, but only redirected toward EVs in the past decade. Its application is growing quickly. Synthetic graphite could account for nearly two-thirds of the EV battery anode market by 2025, estimates Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
