Chinese scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have used CRISPR gene-editing to create the first completely bone-free carp. The new “Zhongke No. 6” breed, developed by Academician Gui Jianfang’s team, removes more than 80 troublesome spines and is engineered to grow faster with less feed, revolutionizing this staple protein.
Students and graduates from First Flight High School in North Carolina have made aviation history, completing the first aircraft built on the hallowed
Wisk Aero, backed by Boeing, has flown its Generation 6 autonomous eVTOL for the first time. This aircraft is the first candidate for FAA certification as a pilotless, passenger-carrying air taxi in the U.S., targeting initial operations in cities like Houston and Los Angeles.
Rolls-Royce has successfully tested the world’s first high-speed marine engine powered exclusively by methanol. Together with their partners in the

Scientists at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics have created a bromine-based flow battery with a novel two-electron transfer system. The design slashes corrosion, enabling a 5 kW system to run for over 700 cycles, paving the way for affordable, long-duration grid storage.
Rolls-Royce announces the successful test of the world’s first high-speed marine engine powered purely by methanol. The breakthrough from the meOHmare project in Friedrichshafen offers a clear path for ferry and yacht operators to drastically reduce emissions using green fuel.
JAIST researchers found that Ewingella americana, a bacterium from Japanese tree frog guts, eradicated colorectal tumors in mice with a single dose. The treatment outperformed standard therapies and provided lasting cancer immunity, revealing a potent new avenue for microbiome-based oncology.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have enabled a paralyzed man to perform paid work and control robotic aids using a wireless brain implant. The WRS01 system allows control with a latency under 100 milliseconds, marking a major leap toward practical brain-computer interfaces.
China’s ‘Linghang’ shield tunneling machine, with a 15-meter diameter, has set a world record by boring 10,000 meters continuously under the Yangtze River. The intelligent machine paves the way for a 350 km/h rail tunnel, a critical link for the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
