Scientists have treated the first person with a groundbreaking gene therapy that makes old cells act young again, aiming to restore vision lost to glaucoma. This marks the beginning of testing whether cellular rejuvenation can safely treat human disease.
Construction sites are getting robotic helpers, but keeping workers safe around autonomous machines requires a new kind of artificial intelligence that watches everything at once. Vision AI is becoming the invisible safety net that lets humans and robots build together without accidents.
Four astronauts are studying the Moon with their eyes, not just cameras, because human vision detects color and texture in ways technology still can't match. After two years of training to become "field scientists," they're ready to share what they see with a generation that's never heard live Moon observations.
Scientists have created a wireless retinal implant thinner than a human hair that could one day restore sight to millions living with vision loss. The breakthrough device uses safe near-infrared light instead of risky visible light, eliminating the need for bulky electronics.
The United Nations just launched a worldwide coalition to put human rights at the center of global decision-making. The Global Alliance for Human Rights unites governments, businesses, faith leaders, and everyday citizens around a shared vision of justice.
Ancient humans in China crafted sophisticated stone tools during a brutal ice age, proving creativity thrives under pressure. The discovery rewrites what we thought we knew about early human innovation.
Four astronauts preparing to fly around the Moon in 2026 described their historic mission and the moment they'll splash down back on Earth. It's the first time humans will leave Earth orbit in over 50 years.
Scientists just cracked a decades-old problem: night vision that shows the world in color instead of grainy green. The breakthrough could transform everything from search and rescue to helping people with vision loss see infrared light.
New fossil discoveries reveal how our uniquely powerful thumbs helped make us human. The evolution of our hands may be just as important as our big brains in shaping who we became.
Scientists discovered tiny genetic "switches" that shaped human language ability before we split from Neanderthals. These ancient regulators still influence how we learn and use language today.
New research reveals our evolutionary history wasn't a straight line from apes to humans. Scientists are rethinking how we classify our ancient relatives as discoveries show they were more sophisticated than we believed.
A new method has revealed that all living humans carry DNA from a mysterious extinct human group that interbred with our ancestors before they left Africa. The discovery rewrites our understanding of human evolution and proves we're connected to relatives we've never even found fossils for.
Scientists discovered ancient human ancestor fossils in Morocco dating back 800,000 years, revealing that North Africa played a central role in human evolution. The findings are transforming our understanding of how early humans lived, worked, and mourned their dead.
Nearly half a million years ago, ancient humans in Zambia fitted large logs together to build a structure—long before our species even existed. The discovery rewrites what we thought possible in the Stone Age.
Researchers discovered a simple fatty acid injection that restores vision in older mice by targeting an aging gene. The breakthrough could help millions facing age-related vision loss and macular degeneration.
Scientists at Duke University used stem cells to grow specialized retinal blood vessel cells that restored vision in blind mice. The breakthrough could lead to affordable treatments for millions facing vision loss from diseases like diabetic retinopathy.
Four astronauts launched aboard NASA's Artemis 2 mission on April 1, marking humanity's first return to lunar orbit in over five decades. The crew will travel farther into space than any humans before them during their historic 10-day journey.
Four astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis 2 mission crossed into the moon's gravitational sphere on April 6, becoming the first humans to reach lunar space since 1972. Tonight, they'll break the distance record for human spaceflight.
Scientists discovered that male Neanderthals and female humans formed most ancient relationships, solving a 20-year genetic mystery. The finding reveals how social choices shaped human evolution.
A man blind for three years unexpectedly recovered partial natural vision during a clinical trial for an artificial vision device in Spain. The spontaneous improvement persisted even after doctors removed the brain implant.
