From Diagnostic Blindness to Molecular Precision For decades, early-stage cancer detection and monitoring of treatment-resistant diseases were plagued by critical technological limitations. Traditional genetic testing methods, including Sanger sequencing and even early PCR-based diagnostics, were limited by poor sensitivity—often requiring more than 20–30% mutant allele frequency to detect a mutation. …

As near-peer adversaries aggressively expand their electromagnetic warfare capabilities, the U.S. Air Force is racing to future-proof its dominance across contested domains. At the heart of this effort lies the REFLECT (Radio Frequency Electronic Warfare Focused Laboratory Evaluations of Critical Technologies) program—an ambitious, multi-million-dollar initiative launched by the Air Force …

Plant synthetic biology is transforming crops into living factories—producing fuels, pharmaceuticals, and materials using sunlight instead of fossil fuels, redefining manufacturing, sustainability, and the future of global industry. As climate change accelerates and the global demand for food, energy, and therapeutics rises, a quiet revolution is taking root—quite literally. Scientists …
