Korean Air is showcasing cutting-edge AI-powered drones and flying taxi technology at Asia's largest drone exhibition in Busan. The airline is proving it's more than just passenger flights, diving deep into the future of aerospace innovation.
Australian researchers created AI that counts endangered birds from drone images 85 times faster than humans, freeing up conservationists to focus on saving species instead of data entry. The breakthrough tool is now free for researchers worldwide.
Norwegian company Blueye Robotics just launched two underwater drones that can explore ocean depths up to 500 meters, opening up the deep sea to researchers, conservationists, and anyone curious about what lies beneath. These mini-ROVs make ocean exploration more accessible than ever before.
Scientists built a drone that becomes nearly invisible by spinning so fast the human eye can't track it. The breakthrough could help researchers study wildlife without scaring animals away.
Chinese researchers have successfully kept drones airborne for over three hours by wirelessly beaming power to them using microwaves. The breakthrough could one day lead to drones that fly indefinitely without landing to recharge.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A commercial drone pilot in Australia filmed a humpback whale giving birth off the coast, capturing what researchers believe is the first complete drone footage of this rare event. The stunning moment celebrates one of conservation's greatest comebacks, as humpback populations have rebounded from near extinction to nearly 50,000 along Australia's coast.
Decades of military drone operations have taught engineers exactly how to make self-driving cars safer and more reliable. A former Navy fighter pilot is sharing five critical lessons that could prevent accidents and save lives on our roads.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.

After nearly 18 months of halted funding that threatened decades of HIV and TB research, the US National Institutes of Health has reversed its ban on South Africa. The decision restores hope for global health progress and hundreds of research jobs.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Intelligent drones are evolving from experimental tech into essential tools that will revolutionize emergency response, medical deliveries, and environmental protection worldwide. New research maps how AI-powered aerial systems will soon handle longer missions with better navigation and safety.
Researchers in Indonesia successfully used a drone to attach a satellite tracker to a rare pygmy blue whale for the first time, revealing a 2,000km migration path. The breakthrough allows scientists to study whale movements safely while helping protect these endangered giants from ship collisions.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
South Korea is backing startups working on artificial intelligence and drone security technology to strengthen both national defense and economic growth. The new government program will support innovative companies from research through global market expansion.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
