We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we explore groundbreaking advancements in space technology, astronaut missions, and defense innovation.

 SpaceX unveils its latest Raptor 3 engine, boasting increased thrust, reduced mass, and improved efficiency. We also discuss the unexpected extended stay of two NASA astronauts on the International Space Station due to issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.

The episode then delves into the world of defense technology, focusing on Anduril Industries' recent $1.5 billion funding round, valuing the company at $14 billion. Founded by Palmer Luckey, Anduril is revolutionizing American defense manufacturing with autonomous military systems and innovative software-defined platforms.

Our big story of the day looks new research in 3D printing artificial blood vessels, bringing us closer to creating functional artificial organs. We discuss the new coaxial SWIFT method developed by Harvard researchers, which enables the creation of complex, multilayered vascular networks within living tissues. This advancement holds promise for addressing organ shortages and advancing regenerative medicine, potentially transforming the future of healthcare and organ transplantation.
