We explore a new treatment delivering nanodiamonds into the womb in order to treat fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernias, a potentially fatal condition which affects one in 3,000 babies each year.
For more, we join lead author Stavros Loukogeorgakis, associate professor of pediatric surgery at UCL and consultant surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College Hospitals.
And, it’s lift-off for Elon Musk’s Starship rocket.
After multiple failed attempts this year, Musk’s largest rocket has finally had a successful test launch.
Plus, the UK's second mobile emergency alert drill is scheduled for September 7.
Also in this episode:
-6.3 million cancer cases could be diagnosed between now and 2040
-Royal Mail rolls out its solar-powered post boxes
-Anthropic is launching a preview of its Claude AI agent for browsers
-The world's tallest bridge passes a load test
The image used for this episode is of Amelia Turner in hospital. Amelia was born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
