Gene-editing trials have restored hearing and slowed inherited vision loss in early patients, marking some of the technology’s first tangible medical wins outside the lab.
Read MoreSolid-state batteries have promised faster charging and longer range for years. Pilot production lines are finally testing whether the chemistry can scale beyond the lab.
Read MoreCompanies are racing toward commercial deep-sea mining for battery metals, while marine biologists warn that regulation is outpacing the science needed to understand what’s at stake.
Read MoreGene-edited crops are reaching commercial fields faster than expected, with regulators treating them differently from older GMOs — even as consumer skepticism lags behind the science.
Read MoreNew deep-field observations keep turning up early galaxies more massive than standard models predicted, and astronomers are still working out whether the models or the measurements need to change.
