New research using a strand of hair from Thomas Jefferson has effectively settled a longstanding, acrimonious debate: He almost certainly fathered children with Sally Hemings, a young Black woman he enslaved.
Floating solar farms, like the Bomhofsplas park in the Netherlands, can benefit the environment in ways beyond generating clean energy. Here's the story
Researchers have developed an AI system that can detect subtle, age-related changes in the three-dimensional organization of DNA inside mouse blood stem cells. As we grow older, our bodies gradually become less able to produce an adequate supply of blood cells. This decline affects the hematopoietic system, the network of organs and tissues responsible for [...]
Two newly described Salish Sea spiders reveal bizarre grooming and parasite-filled lifestyles while helping close a nearly century-long gap in regional marine biodiversity. Imagine diving into the cold waters off the Pacific Northwest coast and bumping into a tiny creature with bright red eyes, hairy feet, and a three-lipped mouth that resembles a miniature Sarlacc [...]
Did flight begin once, or more than once? A tiny dinosaur unearthed in China may finally tip the scales, and the clues are hiding in its bones, its teeth and the order in which its features appeared.
Scientists have built an “atomic cannon” to test whether exotic matter falls as Einstein’s theory predicts. Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen have created a tightly controlled beam of muonium, an unusual atom containing an electron and an antimuon. Their advance, described in Nature Physics, clears a major obstacle [...]

Union Health Minister JP Nadda will lay the foundation for ICMR's first dedicated high-altitude medicine and public health research centre in Keylong, Himachal Pradesh. The facility will address unique health challenges for border populations and armed forces.
India's compound archers have made landmark strides by attaining the first Olympic quota in their category, thanks to their exceptional performance at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games where they earned three golds and a bronze medal. Despite their triumph, coach Dave Cousins has encountered troubling salary delays, raising issues for the Archery Association of India and the Sports Authority of India.
HONG KONG , Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether navigating outer space or tackling challenges closer to home, technology is revolutionizing our ability to explore. In the seventh season premiere of Tech for Good , CNN anchor and correspondent Kristie Lu Stout meets the young researchers and innovators leading a new era of discovery and developing technology that pushes beyond the limits of human reach. From lunar exploration to environmental monitoring, this episode spotlights creative, adaptable and resourceful engineering that expands opportunities to venture and discover. CNN’s Tech for Good spotlights the next generation pushing the limits of exploration CNN first visits students at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), to meet a team of engineers developing origami-inspired lunar rover wheels. The intricate spiral wheels are made from thin metal strips, and are designed to change shape, absorb shock, and navigate rough terrain. PhD candidate Seong-bin Lee and his team have spent three years refining it, with the hope of it one day exploring lunar lava tubes and caves. Master's student Yiseub Yun is working on integrating artificial intelligence and reinforcement learning to turn their design into an intelligent rover, as the team works towards South Korea's planned lunar mission. In another aerospace project at KAIST, PhD candidate Sung-jin Lee is developing a satellite-mounted gripper designed to capture space debris, which the team says is due to be tested in space in 2027. CNN then heads to Florida, where students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are trying to tackle a vast environmental challenge at Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest lake. Warm water and nutrient-rich runoff contributes to toxic blue-green algae blooms that threaten people, wildlife and coastal economies. PhD student Kaylor Taylor and a collaborative team of engineers, drone pilots and environmental scientists are using drones fitted with specially designed devices to take air and water samples, as well as cameras to map algal blooms from the sky. Their system results in faster and richer data collection beyond traditional sampling, helping scientists understand how blooms develop, move, and predict what might happen next. In Chennai, CNN visits Team Anveshak and 'Jade' at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Developed by project lead Soham Warde and a team of 60 students, 'Jade' is a Mars rover prototype developed to navigate rough terrains, drill for soil samples, and carry out tasks with a robotic arm. Beyond its capabilities, the USD$6000 rover reflects 'jugaad', an Indian concept that means to make ambitious things possible using what's on hand. The team has won several competitions run by the Indian Space Research Organization, but the next stop is an international rover competition in Florida for a chance to demonstrate India's homegrown approach on a global stage. Finally, in Tech for Good's 'Where Are They Now?' segment, CNN revisits Myoungseok Kim, originally spotlighted for his nanoscale DNA folding at Seoul National University in 2023. Now at the University of California Berkeley, his latest discovery in the DNA origami field may serve as biosensors for detecting diseases, including cancer.
