Scientists discovered ribose and glucose in pristine material from asteroid Bennu, completing the full set of chemical ingredients needed to build RNA. The finding shows life's raw materials existed in space before Earth even had life.
Scientists prevented a life-threatening brain condition in newborn mice using RNA therapy, reducing cases by 67%. The breakthrough could spare thousands of babies from risky brain surgery each year.
Scientists created a 45-unit RNA molecule that can almost replicate itself, bringing us closer to understanding how life began on Earth. This tiny strand performs both key steps needed for self-replication, just not yet in the same container.
Sussex Technical High School just landed a state innovation grant to bring cutting-edge mapping technology into its environmental science classrooms. Students will now learn the same digital tools professionals use to manage land, analyze data, and protect natural resources.
Thailand's cement manufacturers are launching a groundbreaking mobile carbon capture pilot that could transform how one of the world's most polluting industries reaches net zero emissions. This project brings together international partners and an $8 million investment to test cutting-edge technology across real cement plants.
Australian women cricketers in Darwin are now using AI ball-tracking to challenge umpire calls, a first for local cricket anywhere in the country. The technology brings professional-level reviews to grassroots players for a fraction of the cost.
Major automakers are betting on range-extended electric vehicles that combine electric motors with small backup engines, offering drivers a path to cleaner cars without the anxiety of running out of charge. The technology could convince 70% of customers to switch to electric by 2030 while keeping European manufacturers competitive.
Scientists at University College London have developed the first targeted therapy for children with genetic kidney disease, a condition that currently has no treatment and often leads to lifelong dialysis or transplant. The precision RNA treatment delivered directly to tiny kidney filters reduced protein leakage and scarring in early tests.
Scientists at the University of Hong Kong have developed a breakthrough tool that can repair faulty genetic messages in living cells without permanently changing DNA. The innovation could transform treatment for diseases like Huntington's by removing harmful RNA segments while keeping the healthy parts intact.
