Chula Vista was the first police department to be awarded such a waiver. Now roughly 225 departments have them, and a dozen of those, including Chula Vista’s, operate what are called drone-as-first-responder programs, where drones are dispatched by pilots, who are listening to live 911 calls, and often arrive first at the scenes of accidents, emergencies, and crimes, cameras in tow.  The FAA is widely expected to fully legalize BVLOS within the next few years, which would make it easier for other such programs to…

This response is converted into audio by Bixby and then responds to the caller. But instead of using the Bixby voice, the Bixby "Custom Voice Creator"…

Researchers have been growing mini human brains and other organs from stem cells for years, trying to find ways to implant them and see responses to things like sight, smell, and touch.

This discovery is part of an ongoing push to revert adult skin cells into an immature state. These immature cells can then be used to form just about any other type of cell in…
