In separate lab work, synthetic DNA molecules cut activity of the cancer-driving MYC gene by up to 80%. Space: Australian researchers independently confirmed the structure of the iconic M87 black-hole image, strengthening confidence in the 2019 result. Clean Aviation: China’s new solar-powered drone completed its first flight, with a designed endurance of up to 30 hours for uses such as pipeline checks and disaster monitoring. Evolutionary Biology: A researcher discovered a new species of photosynthetic amoeba in a roadside water sample—one that may shed light on how life evolved. Power Grids: Scientists traced a global, minute-by-minute grid disturbance to battery systems running synchronized maintenance checks.
