MIT Technology Review Narrated: what\u2019s behind this summer\u2019s heat, and why 2027 could be worse<\/h3>\n

This summer has been a scorcher for much of the Northern Hemisphere. June and July marked the hottest two-month stretch in Europe since record-keeping began, the contiguous US endured its hottest month on record in July, and South Korea saw its highest-ever recorded temperature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Climate change makes heat waves more likely and more intense. But there\u2019s another factor at play: El Ni\u00f1o, which is already ramping up and is expected to have a bigger effect on global temperatures next year.<\/p>\n

The astonishing embryo models of Jacob Hanna
<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When the Palestinian stem-cell scientist Jacob Hanna was stopped while entering the US last May, he knew the routine. Anything to declare? Any biological samples? But this time the agents\u2019 questions touched on a specific new topic: embryos.<\/p>\n

Hanna didn\u2019t have any specimens, but if he had, it would have been surprisingly hard to say what they were. That\u2019s because he specializes in creating synthetic embryo models, structures that resemble real embryos but don\u2019t involve sperm, eggs, or fertilization.<\/p>\n

They could provide unprecedented views of the earliest stages of human development, while also creating a new way to produce cells for transplant medicine. But as these models become more realistic, they are raising difficult questions about how far the science should go.<\/p>\n
