All right, almost showtime, but before the show, some of you getting me pumped up.
Check out this special resin mold.
Look, sunshine, love.
Look at all this stuff.
Ms.
Barea and Ms.
Gonzalez at Western Avenue Middle School in Los Angeles, California.
Thank you very much.
And peep this right here.
Ms.
Natalie at West High School in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Hector, you did a heck of a job.
Let's get this show on the road.
Hello and happy.
Your word, wednesday one of the vocabulary words you submitted helped us write today's show.
It's also hump day, i know so if you're having a rough day, just remember that what's coming your way is so much better than what you've been through.
So keep rolling or keep marching.
Today is the only day of the year that's also a complete sentence march 4th.
Now your news For the first time ever, some of this nation's most historic documents, which helped the US take flight, have been cleared for takeoff themselves.
They'll be flown from city to city on their own jet, dubbed the Freedom Plane, as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration.
The tour launched from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, with stops planned in eight cities.
On board we have an original engraving of the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War, and oaths of allegiance signed by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton.
These documents usually stay locked in secure vaults at the National Archives.
So really to help Americans to connect with their past, to understand who they are and where they've come from.
Really, you know, every American is an heir to what the founding fathers envisioned and what they wrote into history on these documents.
So to be able to take those right up to people's cities and towns and communities is a once in a generation opportunity.
Now some news on devices pushing the limits of what is possible when technology and the human body collide.
Human brain implants devices that enable users to control a computer interface using their thoughts.
The goal of the technology is to help paralyzed patients or those living with degenerative diseases.
Like Several companies have been conducting human trials for years, including Elon Musk's Neuralink startup,
So how close are we to seeing this technology being ready for the masses?
Our Becky Anderson caught up with the first patient in Neuralink's human trials.
This is Nolan Arbour, known as Neuralink's patient one.
He's the first human to receive Elon Musk's brain computer interface, a device designed to translate thought into digital action.
For eight years, I was not really doing anything.
I had no direction.
I would go to sleep when I wanted to and wake up when I wanted to.
There was no reason to really get up.
After Neuralink I was going to sleep early so I could wake up the next day and participate in the study.
Found purpose beyond that.
The implant works by sensing brain signals, specifically the intention to move, and converting that activity into commands that can control a computer.
Arba was paralyzed in a 2016 accident.
We went to dive in, jump in, and I got hit in the side of the head.
I immediately dislocated my C4 C5 in my neck and woke up face down in the water completely paralyzed.
He spent years relying on a mouth operated stick just to navigate a screen.
Today he can move a cursor with his mind, playing chess, video games and communicating independently.
Elon musk says the company will start high volume production this year, part of his broader push to link the human brain directly with computers and ultimately enable what he calls symbiosis with artificial intelligence.
But as the technology moves rapidly from experiment to scale, regulators are racing to keep up.
UNESCO has already approved the world's first global ethics framework for neurotechnology aimed at protecting human rights as companies push the frontiers of the human brain.
There are serious cynics.
There are those who say that what he's doing is overhyped.
What's your personal perspective?
I think this technology is going to change the world.
I think it's already helped me so much and it's in its infancy.
There are so many other people out there who I know... are gonna find so much hope in this.
And there's no possible way to over-hype that, in my opinion.
Pop quiz hotshot.
The Baroque painter Rembrandt is especially famous for his mastery of what artistic technique
Pointillism, chiaroscuro, cubism, or surrealism?
If you said chiaroscuro, hang it in the Louvre.
The technique uses strong contrast between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume when painting 3D figures.
Now to a remarkable discovery, or should we say rediscovery, in the art world.
A museum in the Netherlands says they have authenticated a genuine painting by Rembrandt decades after it was deemed a fake.
The work, titled Vision of Zacharias in the Temple, was painted by the famed Dutch artist in 1633.
It depicts a biblical scene featuring the archangel Gabriel and the high priest Zacharias.
It was purchased by a private collector in 1961, despite experts at the time dismissing the painting as a knockoff.
It largely disappeared from public view until recently when a new owner asked the museum if they could determine who actually painted it.
Turns out it's a real deal Rembrandt.
A team of researchers spent two years authenticating the work using techniques like high-tech x-ray scans.
The work will now go on display as part of a long-term loan from the owner, giving the public their first look at the piece in more than 60 years.
No word on how much the Rembrandt is worth.
The most expensive Rembrandt ever sold was bought by the Rijksmuseum and Louvre for 180 million in 2016.
Question for all of our elders out there.
If you had to choose a music genre that defined your teenage years, what would it be?
For me, it's old school R&B.
Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Sisters with Voices.
Well, one of the most popular genres globally for Gen Z is K-pop or Korean pop music.
Its rise to cultural dominance on a global scale has been remarkable.
TWICE, one of K-Pop's biggest girl groups, just marked their 10th anniversary with a world tour, and you can see how that global fandom comes to life through fashion, fan traditions and a sense of belonging that crosses cultures and generations.
Hours before the opening act even starts, gregarious fans arrive to partake in pre-show.
K-pop traditions.
One of them?
Freebies, small tokens that fans hand out to complete strangers.
So these are freebies.
I make them for most of my concerts.
It's just a good way of telling people, hey, you're part of the community.
You know, I really love to share this thing with you.
It's a great way to make new friends and just get communication started.
Nearby K-pop nonprofit Motion Exchange is leading a random dance play, a fan-favorite K-pop tradition where songs play at random and anyone who knows the choreography jumps on in.
Well, I don't know none of those people out there.
And all we said was, we're dancing, y'all come hang out, and everyone came to show up.
You know, it's beautiful.
That's what K-pop is all about.
It's just love and expressing yourself and having good fun through music.
So if you like music, you probably like K-pop.
Just give it a try.
Fans say that spirit of sharing and community is part of what makes K-pop different and part of why it keeps growing worldwide.
I think it opens many bridges to like connect cultures and it's very expansive and I mean it makes me happy and I can enjoy the music, the dance and just the art of it.
And the crowd itself reflects that global reach.
Not one age group, not one background, and building friendships over the genre.
As K-pop continues to cross borders and break barriers, fans say the real power isn't just in the performance, it's in the connection.
From K-pop and hip-hop, today's story getting a 10 out of 10, a hippo.
A new pygmy hippo that's capturing the hearts of zoo goers.
Meet Jelly Bean, the newest addition at Arizona's Wildlife World Zoo.
She's drawing crowds of adoring fans, and she even gets the hippo zoomies.
Right now she is mom's little shadow and it's adorable to see because she's just a little baby, so she's exploring everything and everything is new to her.
Her sweet name is the result of a public naming contest.
Jellybean is learning all about being a hippo from mom Lollipop and dad Tootsie Roll.
Pygmy hippos are much smaller than their common counterparts, only growing to about 400 pounds instead of nearly 9000.
Despite her smaller stature, zoo staffers say Jellybean will have a huge impact in their understanding of the species.
In honor of Read Across America Week, we are highlighting some of your favorite books and books you're reading right now.
Our inbox is full, so keep them coming.
Colin Von Stein from the Manning School of Academics and Arts in Golden Colorado, says my favorite book is Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.
The way the author describes everything to such immaculate detail truly made it a great story to read, a truly compelling plot about a group of teens making change and saving some burrowing owls and some funny hijinks along the way.
I see you, Colin.
Keep them coming, y'all.
We are going to share another from your reading list tomorrow.
Now, one of my favorite books is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.
And right now we are showing some love to Mrs Love at Floyd Municipal Schools in Floyd, New Mexico, who submitted our Your Word Wednesday winner.
Gregarious, an adjective meaning sociable or seeking and enjoying the company of others.
And this just in.
I've gotten my hands on one of those historical documents that didn't make it on the Freedom Plane at the beginning of our show.
Mr Austin and friends at Windsor Learning Center in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey sent us a declaration of shout-out requests.
We wish you the pursuit of happiness.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, y'all.
See you here tomorrow.
I'm Coy Weyer, and we are CNN 10.
