Scientists Revive Unusual Creature Instead of Woolly Mammoth

Scientists at Colossal Biosciences have created 'woolly mice' with genetic traits resembling the woolly mammoth, marking a significant step in de-extinction efforts. The project aims to develop mammoth-like hybrids using elephant DNA and stem cell technology, though challenges and ethical debates remain about the feasibility and ecological impact of resurrecting extinct species. Despite skepticism from some experts, this research advances understanding of genetics and evolutionary biology, fueling hopes and questions about the future of de-extinction.

"Korean Scientists' Dubious Superconductor Success Strikes Again"

Korean scientists, previously behind a debunked superconductor claim, have now asserted the creation of a new compound, PCPOSOS, as the world's first room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor. However, their claims were met with skepticism from peer scientists, as no actual sample was presented, and the data provided lacks scientific evidence. The previous debunked claim had caused a stir in the market, with superconductor-related stocks soaring temporarily. The pursuit of a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor remains a highly sought-after goal in the scientific community.
