In A First, Researchers In Norway Filmed The Full Process Of Wild Orca Birth. Drone Footage Showed Mostly Female & Juvenile Pod Members Lifting A Limp Newborn For ~15 Mins To Help It Breathe Until It Swam. The Calf Had Fetal Folds & A Floppy Fin. Led By Mother NKW-591, The Pod Showed Midwife-Like Care, Revealing Rare Natural Orca Behavior.

Baby KJ Muldoon, The World’s First Patient To Receive Personalized CRISPR Therapy At The U.S.’s Oldest Children’s Hospital In Philadelphia, Has Taken His First Steps. CRISPR Edited His Gene To Prevent Deadly Ammonia Buildup From An Ultra-Rare Condition. Now 16 Months Old & Thriving At Home, He’s Preparing For His First Christmas With Family.

Chinese Scientists Made The World‑First Stable 2D Sheets From Non‑layered Metals (Tin, Bismuth, Lead, Indium, Gallium), Unlike 1‑Atom Graphene Sheet From Layered Graphite. Just 1–3 Atoms Thick & 200K× Thinner Than Hair, They Used “vdW Squeezing,” Pressing Metal Melt Btw MoS₂ Layers. The 2D Metals Could Transform Quantum Tech & Electronics.

U.S Scientists Created EVO 2, The First Open-Source A.I Trained On 9.3T DNA Letters From 128K+ Species (Some Extinct). Using Stripedhyena 2, It Reads 1M Letters At Once To Write DNA/RNA/Proteins. It Detects BRCA1 Cancer Mutations With 90% Accuracy, & Can Design Whole Bacterial Genomes Or CRISPR Systems. A Game Changer For Research/Drug Development.

Olivier Rioux, 19, A 7’9″ Canadian Center For The Florida Gators, Became The World’s Tallest Player To Ever Dunk In College Basketball History In A 102–61 Win Over Saint Francis. The 2021 Guinness World Record Tallest Teen Is Taller Than The Current NBA Tallest Victor Wembanyama (7’4″) & NBA’s Tallest Ever, Manute Bol & Gheorghe Muresan (7’7″).

U.S. Scientists Achieved The First Full Lab Synthesis Of Verticillin A, A Rare Fungal Compound Discovered Over 50 Yrs Ago But Too “Fragile” & Complex To Produce. The Breakthrough Enables Sufficient Supply Of The Compound & Opens Paths To New, More Stable Cancer Drugs, Including Treatments For Aggressive Cancers Like Diffuse Midline Glioma.
