Few cancer treatments are as ferocious as CAR T cell therapy. Often derived from a patient’s own immune cells, CAR T cells are genetically modified to hunt down and destroy cancer cells. The FDA has ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000 ...

"In 2019, Craig Gidney at Google Quantum AI co-authored a paper that reduced [the requirement to break RSA encryption] from 170 million to 20 million quantum bits, or qubits. And in 2025, Gidney ...

You’re lying on an operating table. A doctor injects a milky white liquid into your veins. Within a minute, your breathing slows, your face relaxes, and you remain limp when asked to squeeze a hand.

Quantum communication could enable uncrackable transfer of information, but most approaches rely on trusted devices. Researchers have now demonstrated that a new method that does away with this ...

Gene editing is a numbers game. For any genetic tweaks to have notable impact, a sufficient number of targeted cells need to have the disease-causing gene deleted or replaced. Despite a growing ...

“As the hype dies down, Moltbook looks less like a window onto the future and more like a mirror held up to our own obsessions with AI today. It also shows us just how far we still are from anything ...

Laura Oliveira fell in love with swimming at 70. She won her first competition three decades later. Longevity runs in her family. Her aunt Geny lived to 110. Her two sisters thrived and were mentally ...
