Owner of SpaceX & Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Elon Musk, started with a 9.1% shareholder stake to roping in the whole market to finance a complete purchase of Twitter at $46.5B. Earlier, when Musk was asked to join Twitter's board of directors, he declined. That led the existing board of directors to place a "poison pill" to make it difficult for Musk to buy more than 15% of the company through the stock market.

Gigafactory in India by 2025, Informs Lithium-Ion Cell Manufacturer Log9

A 7-year-old advanced battery technology startup Log9 intends to capture the first-mover advantage without participating in the government's ambitious INR 18,000 crore PLI scheme for advanced cell chemistry. The Bengaluru-based bootstrapped Lithium-Ion cell manufacturer, Log9, promises the first Gigafactory in India by 2025. Even though it only has a 25-megawatt-hour (MWh) capacity and an investment of around $25M (INR 190 crore), it has a very aggressive growth plan. By March 2023, Log9 plans to increase battery pack production from 10,000 units today to 40,000 units by June and 4 lakh units by March 2023, with a 50 MWh cell manufacturing capacity. Over the year, this would cost an additional $15 M(INR 110 crore). That, however, is only a warm-up. India's first Giga factory is expe...

8 Well-Funded Stem Cell Startups are Manipulating your DNA

Using stem cells or their derivatives, stem cell startups champion the production of regenerative medicine, also known as stem cell therapy, to promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional, or injured tissue. Instead of using donor organs in short supply, stem cells are used for stem cell therapy. In the laboratory, researchers cultivate stem cells to manipulate them into specific cell types like those found in the heart, blood, or nerve tissue, such as heart muscle cells. The manipulated cells are then injected directly into the target muscle with the degenerative condition to usher in new cell development. With the advancement in stem cell technology, several medical researchers, doctors, and scientists have established stem cell startups making an innovative impact globall...
