Underground Nuclear Reactors Are Getting DOE Approval. Here's Why.
On August 6, 2026, the Department of Energy approved Deep Fission's Nuclear Safety Design Agreement for its Gravity reactor—a pressurized water reactor designed to operate a mile underground. This is the first regulatory milestone in what could reshape nuclear power's footprint. But what's actually new here? The episode breaks down why geometry, not physics, is the real innovation.

FNIP1 gene: What Changed and Why It Matters
Scientists discovered that ultra-rare variants in the FNIP1 gene—affecting 1 in 7,000 people—are linked to dramatically better metabolic health: lower liver fat, better blood sugar control, and roughly 60% lower odds of cardiometabolic disease. A Nature study of over 1 million people reveals why this genetic "brake" on energy expenditure might redefine metabolic medicine. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05p1wm24F5k
