Readers went all-in on biotech this year. Gene editing brought the broad treatment of genetic disease into view; cancer-fighting T cells took on tumors; and scientists found a way to 3D print tissues ...

When brain organoids were introduced roughly a decade ago, they were a scientific curiosity. The pea-sized blobs of brain tissue grown from stem cells mimicked parts of the human brain, giving ...

The treatment reprograms T cells to hunt down a patient's cancer. The approach could speed treatment and cut costs, but needs more study. With just a single injection, a new treatment transforms ...

‘Tis the season for overindulgence. But for people with allergies, holiday feasting can be strewn with landmines. Over three million people worldwide tiptoe around a food allergy. Even more experience ...

"What makes this conversation remarkable is how concrete everything sounds. Hodak isn’t hand-waving about 'someday.' He’s got timelines, patient numbers, and regulatory pathways. 'By 2035, [biohybrid ...

Space is getting busier as national space agencies and private companies increase the tempo of launches. But today’s approach to space exploration is unsustainable, say researchers, and we need to do ...

As its whiskers flitter, the mouse’s brain sparks with activity. A tiny implant records the electrical chatter and beams it to a nearby computer. Smaller than a grain of salt, the implant is powered ...

"Helios contains 98 physical qubits, and from those can deliver 48 logical error-corrected qubits. This 2:1 ratio is unique and impressive, said Prineha Narang, professor of physical sciences and ...

The Milky Way is a rich and complex environment. We see it as a luminous line stretching across the night sky, composed of innumerable stars. But that’s just the visible light. Observing the sky in ...

Globally, more than five million people are affected by age-related macular degeneration, which can make reading, driving, and the recognition of faces impossible. A new wireless retinal implant has ...

It sounds like science fiction, but the system could help people with brain or spinal cord injuries regain lost abilities. In 2020, Keith Thomas dived into a pool and snapped his spine. The accident ...

Like rooftop solar panels, the approach would use existing infrastructure to lower the cost and widen the reach of carbon-capture efforts. As carbon emissions continue to rise there's growing ...
