Stem Cell Therapy Trial Restores Vision by Healing Corneal Damage

Biology /

Eye injuries that damage the cornea often lead to permanent blindness, with few treatment options available. However, a new clinical trial has successfully restored vision in patients by transplanting stem cells from their healthy eyes. The cornea, the eye’s outermost layer, plays a crucial role in focusing light toward the retina. Because it constantly faces […]

SpaceX Starship Loses Control During Second Consecutive Test Flight Failure

Astronomy, Astrophysics /

During a test flight on Thursday, SpaceX’s Starship lost control while in space, marking its second consecutive failed attempt to reach orbit. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly grounded flights at major Florida airports and rerouted others due to concerns about potential “space launch debris.” The agency informed TechCrunch that SpaceX must conduct a mishap

Woolly Mouse Takes a Step Toward Resurrecting the Mammoth

Science /

The quest to bring the woolly mammoth back to life has taken another significant, albeit small, step with the creation of the Colossal Woolly Mouse. These lab-engineered rodents have been modified with seven genes, imparting them with “core traits” of the long-extinct mammoth. Colossal Biosciences and its Mammoth Mission Many may be familiar with Colossal

Largest Automated Port Set to Handle 65 Million Containers Annually

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

Singapore’s ambitious project to develop the world’s largest automated port is progressing well. The Tuas mega port has already processed 10 million containers since its operations began in September 2022. By the 2040s, once its four-phase development is complete, the port will handle an impressive 65 million containers each year. Reaching the 10-million mark is

Sunken Continents Could Unbalance Earth’s Magnetic Field

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science /

Structures the size of continents, protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth’s outer core, may be contributing to an instability in our planet’s magnetic field. Initial Assumptions About Similarity These two formations, one beneath the Pacific and the other under Africa, have similar characteristics in terms of seismic waves, leading scientists to initially believe they

Physicists Develop Lab-Grown Diamond Tougher Than Natural Ones

Physics /

Scientists have once again created a synthetic diamond even tougher than natural ones, using a novel approach to diamond formation. By subjecting graphite—a super-hard material in its own right—to extreme pressure and heating it to 1,800 K (1,527 °C or 2,780 °F), the researchers produced a diamond with a hexagonal lattice structure instead of the

Flatworm-Inspired Aquatic Robot Propels Itself with a Wiggling Motion

Robotics /

To safely collect data in delicate aquatic environments, researchers have developed a robot that mimics flatworms’ swimming motion. While flatworms usually move along the seabed, they can also propel themselves through water by undulating their bodies. Inspired by this, scientists at Switzerland’s EPFL created a compact, untethered robot that moves effortlessly in any direction across
