Biotech A Smaller Switch Kept Engineered T Cells Working Longer in Lab Tests A company preprint links a stripped-down signaling module to more receptors on immune cells. The finding is still confined to cell cultures. 31 Oct 2026 4 min read
Energy How Heat Pumps Could Lower Electricity Rates Without Cutting Every Bill Using spare winter capacity could spread grid costs over more electricity sales. RMI’s model shows the opportunity, not guaranteed household savings. 29 Oct 2026 3 min read
AI GitHub Copilot Fusion Chooses When Coding Needs Another AI A first attempt, a stronger replacement and an independent review do different jobs. Fusion chooses among them, but rejecting a draft does not reverse its file edits. 29 Oct 2026 3 min read
AI Artificial Analysis’s New AI Tests Show a Wider Open-Model Gap The new ranking asks harder questions about finished work. Its wider gap needs two qualifications: a changed test and model weights that are not yet available. 28 Oct 2026 3 min read
Energy MISO’s 120-Day Grid Plan Leaves a Bigger Question: Who Pays? The grid operator wants to study big electricity users alongside new power plants. State regulators want enforceable cost protections first. 28 Oct 2026 4 min read
Robotics A Robot Needs More Than the Right Moves to Wipe a Board FLoRe teaches a humanoid how hard to press, not just where to move. Small controlled tests show why that extra command matters. 27 Oct 2026 3 min read
Robotics DexPort Records the Commands Behind a Robot’s Grip A portable teaching device captures a robot hand’s instructions as well as its movements. Small laboratory tests show why that distinction matters. 26 Oct 2026 4 min read
Biotech Embedded Enzymes Helped Plastic Films Break Down on the Seafloor A cold-water field test shows how built-in enzymes can speed plastic breakdown—and why strength and environmental fate still matter. 25 Oct 2026 4 min read
Quantum Quantum Error-Correction Software Can Misread Its Own Clues A simulation study shows how reusing one clue can turn a correct repair into a wrong one, and how a small change to the software restores its advantage. 24 Oct 2026 5 min read
AI How a Trusted Backup App Opened a Route Into Customer Clouds The ConnectWise incident shows why an app’s permissions can matter as much as a user’s password. AI accelerated the abuse; the trust was already there. 23 Oct 2026 6 min read
Longevity Old Blood Cells Reveal a Slower Route to Cellular Rejuvenation Bonn researchers tracked aging marks as blood precursors became neural stem cells. The slow reset offers a way to study rejuvenation, with important limits to the headline numbers. 22 Oct 2026 9 min read
Biotech Engineered Cells Keep Traces of an Earlier Immune Response By storing short-lived genetic messages, a new research tool reveals part of a cell’s past. Recovering those traces is not yet the same as reconstructing a timeline. 22 Oct 2026 3 min read
