Scientists just transformed a living mouse’s kidney into an incubator for developing human sperm made from blood cells.It sounds like sci-fi Mad Libs. But a team at the University of Pennsylvania, led by Kotaro Sasaki, pulled it off. For up to nine months, a tiny pouch of human cells nestled beneath a mouse’s kidney gradually developed into immature sperm. The study is the latest in a decade-long quest to grow sperm in the lab.If successful, lab-grown sperm could open a new window into the earliest stages of sperm development, a process that’s notoriously difficult to study because it begins before…

Gone are the days in which the iPad was simply a blown-up version of the iPhone, with the tablet’s operating system now sporting Mac-like features including a mouse cursor, a Menu Bar, and cascading windows. One computing feature that’s yet to make the transition over to the iPad is native compatibility with optical disc formats like CDs and DVDs. Indeed, you cannot play back, rip, or burn optical media directly via an iPad, owing to the platform’s lack of ability to interface with an external disc drive. That being said, it’s…
Hackers have stolen tens of millions of records from AI music generator Suno and gig-work platform Paidwork, according to data breach notification service Have I Been Pwned (HIBP).

The full impact of the incident was still being assessed at the time of disclosure. The Anubis group listed Coca-Cola and Fairlife on its leak website on July 20. The cybercriminals claimed to have “locked” servers – this likely means they have encrypted files – and exfiltrated 1 TB of “confidential data”. Anubis hacks Coca-Cola…
