The Download: Trump’s impact on science, and meet our climate and energy honorees

This is today's edition of the download, our weekday newsletter, which offers a daily dose of what is going on in the world of technology. How Trump's guidelines have an impact on the early Creiser scientists. Each year every year celebrates young scientists, entrepreneurs and inventors from all over the world in our innovators below 35 list. We have just published the 2025 Edition. However, the context is different this year: the US scientific community is attacked. Since Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has released top government scientists, targeted universities and scientists and has significantly designed the country's science and technology infrastructure. We asked our six youngest cohorts for both positive and negative effects of the new administration guidelines. Your answers give an insight into the complexity of the structure of laboratory, company and careers in today's political climate.

The von Iwnetim Abate family had electricity, but it was unreliable. For a few days a week, if they were without power, Abate would do his homework through candlelight. If you grow up without access to electricity that many people take for granted, the way in which Abate thinks about energy problems thinks. Today is the 32-year-old assistant professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Part of his research focuses on sodium-ion batteries that could be cheaper than that on lithium base that typically supply electric vehicles and network installations with electricity. It also pursues a new research path and examines how it can use the heat and pressure below the surface of the earth to use ammonia, a chemical that is used in fertilizer and as a green fuel.

Meet the rest of our climate and energy innovators and the full list - including our innovator of the year - here. Texas banned the meat of the laboratory. What's next for the industry? A legal struggle for the laboratory's meat started in Texas last week. On September 1st, a two -year ban on technology came into force in the whole state. The following day, two companies filed a lawsuit against state officials. The two companies, Wildtype Foods and Upside Foods, are part of a growing industry that aims to bring new types of food to the plate. These products, which are often referred to by the industry as cultivated meat, take living animal cells and grow in the laboratory to produce food without slaughtering animals. Texas accompanies six other US states and the country of Italy to ban these products - obstacles to an industry that is still in its infancy and faces many challenges before they can achieve consumers in a meaningful way.

Another thing that this huge microwave can change the future of the war: China uses hundreds of thousands of autonomous drones in the air, at sea and under the water - all with explosive explosive heads or small rockets. These machines climb in a swarm towards military installations on Taiwan and near the US bases, and a few hours overwhelmed a few hours overwhelmed the US pacific force before it can even begin. The spread of cheap drones means that almost every group in which a swarm is assembled and starts, chaos, no expensive jets or massive rocket installations. The US armed forces are now chasing a solution - and they want them quickly. One of them is microwaves: high -tapped electronic devices that push kilowatts out of electricity to zap the circuits of a drone as if it were the aluminum foil you forgot to take off your remains when you heated them up.
