Babies can sense pain before they can understand it
Season 1
•
That’s according to neuroscientists at UCL, UCLH and King's College London, who investigated how different types of pain processing develop very early on, by scanning the brains of premature babies two weeks after birth.
Tech & Science Daily spoke to the lead author of the breakthrough study, Lorenzo Fabrizi, professor in developmental system neuroscience at UCL.
We were told their research can help support vulnerable babies with paediatric care, tailored pain management, and contribute to the planning of medical interventions.
US President Donald Trump has extended the impending US TikTok ban for a third time.
The new deadline is September 17th, pushing the decision back another 90 days.
Plus, in a world-first discovery, researchers say that Australia’s nocturnal Bogong Moth - whose population is in decline - uses constellations of stars and the Milky Way to navigate hundreds of kilometres across the country during its annual migration.

UCL’s cancer “visibility” breakthrough, UK signal jammer ban plan, brain organoids boom, Cyberpunk PS5 Pro upgrade
06:16||Season 1A UCL team in Bloomsbury is finding ways to make tumours less “invisible” to the immune system, while the government looks to clamp down on signal jammers — the sneaky gadgets that help thieves blank your doorbell, tracker, or shop alarms. After that, we go full sci-fi-but-real with lab-grown mini brain models, then land in gaming with Cyberpunk showing off on PS5 Pro. And yes, there’s even a “not-a-smartphone” gadget for kids that might save a few parents’ sanity.

BNW Preview: Michael Pollan
14:06||Season 1For Episode Nine, Evgeny is joined by Michael Pollan, journalist, author, and one of the leading voices exploring the human mind. Drawing on his new book A World Appears, Pollan makes an impassioned case for consciousness as something precious, private, and increasingly under threat. Together, they explore how social media and AI are not just competing for our attention, but beginning to shape attachment, emotion, and even our sense of self.The conversation ranges from chatbots and “AI psychosis” to meditation, psychedelics, and the idea of “consciousness hygiene” - the habits and practices that might help us protect our inner lives. Pollan also reflects on why writing is a form of thinking, why boredom and mind-wandering matter, and how experiences of ego dissolution, art, and nature can deepen our understanding of consciousness. The episode ends on a wider question: whether the real challenge is not only understanding consciousness, but learning how to practise it.
London hosts quantum alliance talks, telecoms bill rules tighten, and Nature warns of AI “fake disease” chaos — plus April’s Game Pass hits
