Frozen pig kidneys revived, nuclear power boosted, and electric buses expand in Africa

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Scientists have successfully revived frozen pig kidneys that were stored for over a year, demonstrating their ability to function after being rewarmed and transplanted. This breakthrough marks a significant step towards potential human organ transplantation, though further research is needed to confirm its applicability to humans. In energy news, the US nuclear operator Constellation plans to increase capacity by nearly a gigawatt across 11 existing reactors, and the Department of Energy is providing a $4.2 billion loan to upgrade three plants, aiming to boost clean power generation for data centers. Additionally, BasiGo is making strides in electrifying public transport in Africa with its electric buses, having deployed over 150 in Kenya and Rwanda and now expanding to trucks. AI
