A 3D-Printed Cornea Just Restored A Blind Patient’s Sight; A New Era For Eye Care

If ongoing trials confirm safety and effectiveness, this breakthrough could mark the start of a new era, where corneal blindness is no longer limited by donor shortages, but addressed with scalable, engineered tissue on demand.

Solar Arrays Built In Space: The Future Of Power From Orbit

This in-space manufacturing (ISM) approach could dramatically lower costs, reduce launch size, and allow far larger solar arrays than would be practical to launch from Earth.

What Time Feels Like On Mars; And Why It’s Weird

If humans ever settle on Mars, or send long-term robotic missions, we’ll have to rethink timekeeping entirely: adjusting to longer days, longer years, shifting seasons, and subtle relativistic effects on clocks.

CRISPR Slashes ‘Bad Cholesterol’ Levels By 95 Percent In Early Results

CRISPR, once seen as a tool reserved for rare genetic diseases, is beginning to show it may have the power to tackle widespread health problems too.

Startup Zap Energy Just Set A Fusion Power Record With Its Latest Reactor

If this path holds, future fusion plants could look nothing like today’s sprawling experimental systems. They may instead be small, modular, and cost-effective, opening the door to clean, steady, carbon-free power.

Are Animals And AI Conscious? Scientists Devise New Theories For How To Test This

As scientists study both animals and artificial intelligences, they’re asking a provocative question: perhaps consciousness isn’t about what something behaves like, but about how its “inner machinery” works, whether it processes information in ways that could support subjective experience.

Scientists Race To Deliver Custom Gene Therapies For Incurable Diseases In Weeks, Not Years

In an upcoming clinical trial, possibly starting in 2026, at least five children with other rare inherited metabolic diseases may receive similarly bespoke, tailor-made gene editing therapies for the first time.

Is The AI Bubble About To Burst? What To Watch For As The Markets Wobble

Recent market jitters and stock pullbacks have exposed cracks in what had seemed like an unstoppable AI boom.

These Brain Implants Are Smaller Than Cells And Can Be Injected Into Veins

Scientists have developed a new kind of brain implant so tiny, smaller than a single cell, that it can be injected into a vein and carried to the brain without the need for risky open-brain surgery.

The Orbit Crisis: Why We Can’t Keep Treating Space Like A Trash Bin

Satellites, rocket bodies, and fragments from past missions are piling up in orbit, creating a growing cloud of debris that threatens future launches and the satellites we depend on every day.

Breakthrough Immunotherapy Approved For Treatment Of Adults With Aggressive Blood Cancer

Adult patients with an aggressive form of leukemia will be able to receive a breakthrough immunotherapy, which was invented by UCL researchers, on the NHS within weeks following approval for use by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

New Drug Shows Dramatic Effect In Shrinking Lung Cancer Tumours

A trial testing the drug zongertinib as a first treatment for people with advanced lung cancer who have a HER2 genetic mutation shows it can eradicate tumours in some patients while reducing their size in others.
