The common beetle could soon be our new superhero.


Dubbed ‘Cyborg’ beetles, these insects will be equipped with microchip backpacks, designed to help search and rescue crews locate survivors within hours instead of days after a disaster.


Scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that some species of microbe found in the human gut can absorb toxic and long-lasting ‘forever chemicals’, otherwise known as PFAS.


Tech & Science Daily joins lead author, Anna Lindell, VP of Technology at Cambiotics.


Anna told us about their plans for a new probiotic which could help protect the gut from the effects of PFAS.


Plus, Mark Zuckerberg announces the creation of Meta Superintelligence Labs, as he continues to compete against Google and OpenAI.


Also in this episode:


-Trump says he has 'a group of very wealthy people' to buy TikTok


-Why Glastonbury won’t return to Worthy Farm in 2026


-How deep sleep can boost 'eureka moments


-Instagram now lets you share Spotify songs with sound to Stories
