One of the most stunning concept cars the world has ever seen was shown for the first time at Auto Shanghai this week, when MG took the wraps the EXE181 concept – an aerodynamic electric hypercar with one of the best drag coefficients ever seen in any registerable, road-going vehicle. If it reaches production, it will become the world's most aerodynamically efficient automobile.

One of the biggest challenges researchers face is making injectable medicines into versions that can be taken orally. Oral medications usually fail because they can’t withstand the harsh environment of the gut, which leads to poor bioavailability - a drug’s ability to be absorbed and exert a therapeutic effect on the body.

Adding rat stem cells to a mouse embryo resulted in a ‘hybrid brain’ in which the rat cells stepped in to restore function when the mouse’s sense of smell was removed, new research has shown. It’s the first time one animal’s cells have been used to rescue another’s senses, and it represents a step forward in regenerative medicine.

CATL made headlines around the globe last August when it presented the Shenxing battery, an LFP pack capable of adding 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range in a mere 10 minutes at the charger. Not a year later, and that pack's powering actual cars. This year, the company has rolled the tech into an even more impressive pack it calls the Shenxing Plus, a battery that not only pushes into four-figure range territory but also charges in 600 km (373 miles) of range in the time it takes for a bathroom-and-snacks run.
