A special kind of kimchi has been cleared for a space mission this year.
The bacteria-free kimchi will blast off along with Korea's first astronaut. Top Korean scientists developed the kimchi. It was approved by Russian space authorities.
Instant noodles and cinnamon tea have also been approved for the mission due in April. The foods were all developed by the state-run food research body.

Kimchi usually contains bacteria which is healthy. But the bacteria becomes stronger in space and can be dangerous.
The state food research body is also developing other Korean foods for space crews.
The South Korean government has selected Ko San as the country's first astronaut. Ko is a 30-year-old computer science engineer. He'll travel into space on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket on April 8.
Ko will fly to the International Space Station. He'll stay there for up to eight days.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
一種特製的泡菜確定今年將可隨太空任務升空。
這種無菌的泡菜將跟著韓國第一位太空人升空，這種泡菜由韓國頂尖的科學家研發而成，並經俄國太空總署核准。
泡麵和肉桂茶也通過核准，將一同在四月的任務中登上太空，這些食物都是由南韓食品研究所製造。
泡菜中通常含有益菌，但是細菌的毒性在外太空會增強並可能造成危害。
南韓食品研究所也為太空組員研發了其它韓國食品。
南韓政府選了高山（音譯）成為該國首位太空人，高今年三十歲，是一位電腦工程師，他將在四月八日搭乘俄國製「Soyuz號」太空船升空。
高將先搭機飛往國際太空站，最多在那裡待上八天。

The heads of leading US AI labs came together in a rare show of unity earlier this month, agreeing to slow the technology’s development, warning it could soon improve on its own and slip beyond human control. The remarks, from fierce business rivals such as Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and xAI’s Elon Musk, show how quickly AI has advanced, from the hallucination-prone ChatGPT of 2022 toward what many see as a critical milestone: recursive self-improvement. WHAT IS RECURSIVE SELF-IMPROVEMENT? Central to the field is the idea that an AI system could become capable of improving itself, with little to no help

When we use phones, laptops, or wireless earbuds, we rarely pause to ask what makes these devices so light, efficient and powerful. Hidden inside them are “rare earth elements” (REEs), indispensable to modern life yet central to global controversy. REEs are a group of 17 similar metals that are difficult to tell apart. First identified in the late 18th century, they were known as rare earths because early chemists found them in unusual mineral deposits and believed them to be scarce. In fact, despite the name, many REEs are about as abundant in Earth’s crust as copper or lead. What makes

Millions of people rely on it for the energy they need to start their day or get through a tiring task. Coffee is typically served in larger portions than espresso, usually around 220 to 250 milliliters, and is often consumed with milk and sugar. However, the differences between the two do not stop there. While espresso often uses a dark roast, regular coffee can range from light to medium or dark roasts. Also, because of the brewing method, regular coffee doesn’t have
