When to Innovate and When to Imitate hbr.org Aug. 3, 2025, 10:17 a.m.
Innovation is often the gold standard for firms looking to grow profits and become leaders in their industries. But given the steep cost of failure, is a relentless pursuit of innovation always advisable? Or might there be some instances when imitation may be a better strategy to drive performance gains? This research-backed framework helps companies make more informed decisions about their innovation or imitation strategy: First, companies need to determine their industry’s maturity; then, they must plot their company’s position relative to competitors along important criteria. Knowing where their company falls along these dimensions can help leaders make the right decisions—saving resources, reducing risk, and accelerating impact.
Is Earth inside a huge void? 'Sound of the Big Bang' hints at possible solution to Hubble tension www.eurekalert.org Aug. 1, 2025, 1:46 p.m.
Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the universe, astronomers say. Their theory is a potential solution to the 'Hubble tension' and could help confirm the true age of our universe, which is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years old. The latest research – shared at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham – shows that sound waves from the early universe, "essentially the sound of the Big Bang", support this idea.

Base44 : l’appli qui a conquis 400 000 utilisateurs… sans une seule ligne de code www.servicesmobiles.fr July 10, 2025, 10:57 a.m.
Derrière le succès retentissant de Base44, on retrouve Maor Shlomo, entrepreneur parti de zéro, qui a développé seul – et sans aucun financement externe – une plateforme de développement d’applications basée sur l’IA no-code. En moins de six mois, ce projet individuel s’est transformé en une aventure à grande échelle : plus de 400 000 utilisateurs séduits, près de 200 000 dollars de bénéfices mensuels générés, et finalement la revente à Wix pour plus de 80 millions de dollars. Ce parcours atypique n’est pas le fruit du hasard ; il résulte d’une stratégie patiemment construite autour du produit et d’une attention constante portée aux besoins des utilisateurs.
Systematic Evaluation of Bioorthogonal Reactions in Live Cells with Clickable HaloTag Ligands: Implications for Intracellular Imaging pubs.acs.org July 8, 2025, 2:51 p.m.
Bioorthogonal reactions, including the strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) and inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (iEDDA) reactions, have become increasingly popular for live-cell imaging applications. However, the stability and reactivity of reagents has never been systematically explored in the context of a living cell. Here we report a universal, organelle-targetable system based on HaloTag protein technology for directly comparing bioorthogonal reagent reactivity, specificity, and stability using clickable HaloTag ligands in various subcellular compartments.
