A research team at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed a new bone graft technique that utilizes a modified glue gun and sticks composed of a bone mineral and biodegradable composite. When melted down, this material serves as a scaffold to encourage bone growth and performs better than traditional bone cement. Aside from that, New Atlas reports that it’s designed to make it easier and cheaper for surgeons to create customized implants in the operating room, reducing reliance on bone
In one of the largest cloud contracts ever signed, OpenAI has inked a deal with Oracle to purchase $300 billion worth of computing power over the next five years, according to WSJ . That's close to 100 times OpenAI's 2024 total revenue, but follows earlier gigantic partnership commitments between the two companies, including Oracle signing on to the $500 billion Stargate data center plan , and plans for another joint data
