The Atlantic Ocean current (AMOC) is closer to collapse than we thought, according to a new study that suggests. The study used inks laced with semiconductors and conductors printed onto a polymer substrate to create artificial neurons, which could pave the way for advanced computer-brain interfaces and better brain implants. The discovery could lead to the creation of computers with human-like neural structures and potentially paving the way towards advanced computer technology. Other notable discoveries included the discovery of a copy of the "Iliad" found inside an Egyptian mummy with part of Homer's epic poem in its abdomen. The FDA approved the first-ever gene therapy for inherited deafness, which improved hearing in 90% of patients with inherited deafism in the largest trial of its kind. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is preparing for a risky maneuver to save power from the 'Big Bang' to save the Earth. The news also included a report on Earth's wobble constellations, a discovery of an ancient Roman-era mummy in Egypt, which dates back to 30 BC.
