Single-Dose CaBP4 Gene Therapy Rewired Adult Dog Retinas and Rebuilt the Synaptic Layer That Never Formed

Single-Dose CaBP4 Gene Therapy Rewired Adult Dog Retinas and Rebuilt the Synaptic Layer That Never Formed

One CaBP4 viral dose restored dim-light vision in adult dogs and thickened a retinal synapse that development never finished. Ribbons grew toward normal length.

A Stevenage-Built Rover Named Rosalind Franklin Will Drill Two Metres Into Mars Clay for Human Ancestors

The Airbus-built Rosalind Franklin rover will drill two metres under Oxia Planum clay in 2030, testing whether life on Earth and Mars shares one ancestor.
Ytterbium Diantimonide, the Plain Superconductor That Grew Its Own Magnetic Field and Broke Time Reversal Symmetry

Ytterbium Diantimonide, the Plain Superconductor That Grew Its Own Magnetic Field and Broke Time Reversal Symmetry

Physicists at IISER Bhopal found ytterbium diantimonide, a type I superconductor, breaks time-reversal symmetry with a tiny spontaneous magnetic field.
MIT Built Verticillin A After 50 Years, and the Natural Molecule Was Not the One That Hit Glioma Cells Hardest

MIT Built Verticillin A After 50 Years, and the Natural Molecule Was Not the One That Hit Glioma Cells Hardest

MIT and Dana-Farber reported the first total synthesis of verticillin A, isolated in 1970. N-sulfonylated variants, not the natural product, were the most potent against diffuse midline glioma cells in…
Halloween Taurid Fireballs Return This Autumn While the Airburst Question for Comet Encke’s Swarm Waits Until 2032 and 2036

Halloween Taurid Fireballs Return This Autumn While the Airburst Question for Comet Encke’s Swarm Waits Until 2032 and 2036

Autumn Taurid fireballs are a sky show this season. Researchers say any higher airburst risk from a Comet Encke resonant swarm would come when Earth passes that stream in 2032…
Perovskite Chips Now Hold a Room-Temperature Supersolid After Lecce Scientists First Forced Polariton Light Into a Crystal That Flows

Perovskite Chips Now Hold a Room-Temperature Supersolid After Lecce Scientists First Forced Polariton Light Into a Crystal That Flows

Lecce scientists forced polariton light into a supersolid in 2025, and a perovskite nanograting experiment later showed the same crystal-and-flow phase at room temperature.
Space Force X-37B Flies OTV-8 With a Quantum Compass and Laser Link After the 434-Day Vandenberg Landing

Space Force X-37B Flies OTV-8 With a Quantum Compass and Laser Link After the 434-Day Vandenberg Landing

After a 434-day elliptical flight and an aerobraking landing at Vandenberg, the Space Force X-37B went back up as OTV-8 with a quantum inertial sensor and a laser communications test.
Colossal Woolly Mice Grew the Coat, Then the Mammoth Edit List Passed 150 Genes and the Calf Calendar Left 2028

Colossal Woolly Mice Grew the Coat, Then the Mammoth Edit List Passed 150 Genes and the Calf Calendar Left 2028

Colossal's woolly mice grew mammoth-like coats. Ben Lamm then moved the calf timeline into the early 2030s after the edit list passed 150 genes.
Dolly the Mastodon Returned to Wayne County’s Prairie Trails Museum Still Made of Bone, Not Stone

Dolly the Mastodon Returned to Wayne County’s Prairie Trails Museum Still Made of Bone, Not Stone

The 13,600-year-old mastodon skull excavated in Wayne County in 2024 is back at Prairie Trails Museum in Corydon. The bones were never mineralized, and a ribbon cutting was set for…
IDO1 Cancer Drugs Restarted Astrocyte Glucose In Alzheimer’s Models While Kisunla’s Cleared Plaques Held And England Still Haggles

IDO1 Cancer Drugs Restarted Astrocyte Glucose In Alzheimer’s Models While Kisunla’s Cleared Plaques Held And England Still Haggles

Kisunla, approved in July 2024, can be stopped once amyloid plaques clear, and extension data showed most reductions holding for up to three years. IDO1 cancer inhibitors restored astrocyte glucose…
