Anti-ageing research moves closer to the clinic

Rejuvenation biotechnology is leaving the lab behind: in 2026, several therapies are already on track for human clinical use within the next few years.

  • Rejuvenation biotechnology is transitioning from basic research to clinical applications.
  • Cellular senescence and epigenetic reprogramming rank among the most promising avenues.
  • Private investment is rising, but therapy approval remains a process of at least a decade.

LHC produces strongest evidence yet of physics beyond the Standard Model

New data from CERN experiments point to phenomena that cannot be explained by the Standard Model, the theoretical framework governing fundamental particles.

  • CERN's LHC has detected deviations from Standard Model predictions in particle collision data.
  • The finding is not yet an official discovery — independent verification and more data are needed.
  • Confirmation would force a fundamental revision of theoretical physics.

An OpenAI model has disproved an 80-year-old Erdős conjecture

In May 2026, an AI model demonstrated that Erdős's unit distance conjecture in discrete geometry is false — a problem that had stumped mathematicians for eight decades.

  • An OpenAI model proved that Erdős's unit distance conjecture is false.
  • The problem had remained open in discrete geometry for 80 years.
  • The proof still requires formal verification by the international mathematical community.

Climate change is slowing Earth's rotation at a pace unseen in 3.6 million years

A new study finds that melting polar ice is redistributing the planet's mass and braking its spin — at a scale with no geological precedent in recent Earth history.

  • Earth's rotation is slowing at a rate unprecedented in the last 3.6 million years, a new study finds.
  • Melting polar ice redistributes the planet's mass, gradually lengthening the day by fractions of a millisecond.
  • GPS systems and atomic clocks require periodic corrections as the accumulated drift in day length grows.

New pill nearly doubles survival in advanced pancreatic cancer

Daraxonrasib, an oral drug tested in what experts call a landmark trial, could transform treatment for a cancer with the highest mortality rate of any major type.

  • Daraxonrasib nearly doubles survival time for advanced pancreatic cancer patients.
  • Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancer types.
  • The drug is taken orally as a pill, making administration simpler than standard IV therapies.

Chinese researchers generate electricity from coal without burning it

An electrochemical battery converts coal into electricity through controlled chemical reactions, with no combustion and no CO₂ released.

  • Coal is electrochemically oxidised, not burned, eliminating CO₂ emissions.
  • Chemical energy converts directly into electricity, bypassing steam turbines.
  • If scalable, the technology could reshape the economics of coal-dependent nations.

A killer fungus may help restore habitats choked by invasive moss

British researchers have identified a new fungal species that infects and destroys heath-star, an invasive moss smothering native ecosystems across the UK.

  • A newly discovered fungal species in the UK kills the invasive moss known as heath-star.
  • Heath-star crowds out native species and degrades protected habitats across Britain.
  • Researchers see rare biological control potential but stress the need for thorough safety trials.

Grey heron nest filmed in Ireland lifts conservationists' hopes

The Sliabh Beagh Grey Heron Conservation Trust shared footage of an active nest with visible eggs, offering a rare sign of hope for the endangered species.

  • The Sliabh Beagh Trust published footage of an active grey heron nest, a species facing extinction risk.
  • The nest contains visible eggs, directly confirming a successful breeding cycle.
  • Wetland habitat loss remains the primary threat to grey heron populations across Europe.

A tunnel erased a road and brought a rare landscape back to life

The Hindhead Tunnel in England, opened in 2011, allowed the demolition of a stretch of motorway and triggered one of Britain's largest heathland restoration projects.

  • The Hindhead Tunnel, opened in 2011, enabled the full removal of the surface motorway section.
  • The former road corridor was converted into restored heathland, one of Britain's rarest ecosystems.
  • Surveys more than a decade on show measurable recovery of plant and animal species characteristic of the habitat.
