UCL stem-cell therapy breakthrough, CMA probes Microsoft, and a “sound laser” gravity leap — plus Arc Raiders Flashpoint

UCL teams up on a stem-cell therapy plan to help babies with Hirschsprung disease — the kind of story that actually changes lives. Then it’s the UK CMA poking around Microsoft’s business software ecosystem, because “it’s fine, everyone uses it” is not a competition policy. In the lab, a phonon “sound laser” shows off a wild new way to measure gravity with extreme precision. After the break: Arc Raiders drops Flashpoint and the playerbase immediately starts debating it like Parliament. Plus, CityFibre goes full show-off with an 8.5Gbps wholesale fibre product. More on all of it at standard.co.uk — and follow Tech and Science Daily from The Standard for your weekday briefing. Sound Laser. One more time for the people Hosted on Acast.

London Games Festival kicks off, UK gene breakthrough for childhood epilepsy,

Al’s running you through a very modern mix: London Games Festival turns the city into one big playable space, UK genomic science pulls a major epilepsy-linked diagnosis out of the “dark genome”. After the break, space science gets strange — microgravity may mess with sperm navigation — and Apple’s iOS 26.4 UK age checks arrive with equal parts safety intent and privacy drama.

Dr Sabine Donnai on Mapping the Microbiome and the Secrets to Longevity

For this episode of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Dr Sabine Donnai, a physician specialising in precision medicine, preventive health and the founder of Viavi Healthcare. Together, they explore brain health beyond standard scans, discussing how gut function, inflammation, environmental exposure, and stress interact over time. Drawing on Evgeny’s own test results, Sabine uses her trademark pragmatism to explain why she believes long-term cognitive resilience starts with fixing the basics - particularly the gut – and gives the listener some touchstone takeaways to improve their daily health. For anyone interested in practical measures you can install in your day-to-day, this episode is for you. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard. Producer: Florence de Schlichting Production Coordinator: James Cox Production Manager: Kirsty McLean Video Editor: Nani Wenani The London Standard team: Joe Bromley Will Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

Last-second rocket abort in Norway, UK trials app limits for teens, and a keyboard Android lands on Kickstarter

Al’s on in London after a proper space tease overnight: Isar Aerospace gets the go-ahead in Norway… then aborts in the final checks. Back on Earth, City Hall grills TfL with automated vehicles in the mix, and the UK pilots app limits, social media bans and digital curfews for teens at home. After the break: a God of War patch aimed at nasty save issues, and a BlackBerry-style keyboard phone makes a very 2026 comeback on Kickstarter.

Carl Pei on Futurism, AI and the Prospect of Civil War

For Episode Eight, Evgeny is joined by Carl Pei, founder and CEO of Nothing, the London-based consumer tech company trying to make devices feel fun. Carl explains how Nothing evolved from earbuds to smartphones, why he believes design and “focus-first” features can counter distraction, and what it means to build products with a distinct, instantly recognisable identity. Evgeny and Carl also explore the psychological cost of always-on devices, the battle for attention and consciousness, and what it might mean to build technology that helps people stay intentional. The episode ends on a wider view of the AI era: enormous promise for medicine and science, but serious unanswered questions about jobs, governance, and whether society is ready for what comes next.

Will the London Marathon be a two-day event in 2027?

Last year, the London Marathon ballot box achieved a personal best. Over one million applicants signed up for April’s upcoming event, and with only 10,000-15,000 places reserved for ballot entries, the competition for a spot is tougher than ever. Now, rumours are circulating that the Sunday event may become a two-day weekend as early as 2027 in order to accommodate the increased demand. In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to Rick Pearson, the senior editor of Runner's World UK and co-host of the Runner's World podcast. The two discuss how a two-day event might unfold, tips for running novices, and also unpack the reasons why the London Marathon continues to hold its spot as the world’s most popular running event.

London’s new biotech lab space, UK physics funding cut backlash, meningitis B outbreak briefing, Windows 11 emergency fix

Al’s back in your ears with a very London Monday mix: shiny new lab space opening up in West London for biotech teams who actually need benches, not buzzwords — while UK scientists kick off about deep cuts to theoretical physics funding. Then it’s a straight public health update as UKHSA publishes its technical briefing on the meningitis B outbreak response, plus what the NHS is doing on vaccines. After the break, a rare sperm whale birth gets properly documented (yes, it’s as incredible as it sounds), Microsoft drops an emergency Windows 11 fix for sign-in chaos, and Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfixes the hotfix… again.

Night Shifts and Type 2 Diabetes, WMO Climate Imbalance Warning, Beaver Carbon Sinks, and Minecraft’s “Chaos Cubed” Update

Al’s on with a very real London problem: doing nights and trying to manage type 2 diabetes when the only “fresh option” is whatever’s blinking inside a vending machine. Then it’s MPs dragging the big platforms back into the spotlight over harmful algorithms, before we go global with the UN weather agency warning the planet’s climate is more “out of balance” than ever. After that, a rare bit of eco-hope — beavers turning streams into carbon-storing wetlands — and in gaming, Minecraft tees up its next cave-era glow-up with “Chaos Cubed”. Plus: MAC takes TikTok Shop live from Carnaby Street, because even buying lipstick now comes with a livestream.

Ben Lamm on Colossal's De-Extinction Mission — From Dire Wolves to Woolly Mammoths

Did you ever think you’d live to see woolly mammoths return? For Episode Five of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Ben Lamm, CEO and co-founder of the most forward thinking de-extinction company on the planet, Colossal Biosciences. Since Ben co-founded the Austin based biotech start-up with legendary geneticist George Church in 2021, Colossal has consistently made headlines with their Jurassic Park-esque breakthroughs. In this conversation, Ben goes into the science behind “bringing back” an extinct species, how sci-fi and speculative fiction has inspired Colossal’s work, and the incredible implications de-extinction could have for conservation and the planet. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard.
