University of Liverpool scientists have solved a 40-year mystery in cell biology, showing that stretching the protein talin reveals a hidden region that lets talin molecules bind to each other.

ETH Zurich researchers have developed magnetic microbots that dissolved blood clots six times faster than medication alone in lab tests, and doubled restored blood flow in live pigs.

The James Webb Space Telescope counted 104 magnified stellar events in the Dragon galaxy, a lensed arc 6.5 billion light-years away, more than doubling the previous record for a single galaxy.

Researchers aboard China's Tiangong space station cooled a cloud of rubidium atoms to an equivalent temperature of 9.7 picokelvin, the lowest reported for such a system, and watched it expand for seven seconds.

Chemists at the University of Würzburg have isolated stable oxoboranes — molecules with a boron-oxygen triple bond sought since the 1960s — by reacting a diboracumulene with ketones, publishing the work in Nature Chemistry.

The April launch of NASA's Artemis II tore two holes roughly 5,000 kilometres wide in the Earth's ionosphere, disturbing GPS signals across the Americas, according to a study by researchers at Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University.

NASA has unveiled a package of Moon Base awards including the nuclear-powered PROMISE rover for the lunar south pole, an eight-company cargo delivery framework worth up to $10 billion, and about $1.3 billion in launch and transport orders.

A Pakistani astronaut will join China's Shenzhou-24 crewed mission as a payload specialist, becoming the first foreign national to visit the Tiangong space station, the China Manned Space Agency announced.

University of North Carolina researchers identified three human proteins, ENL, USP7 and BRD4, that work together to keep HIV dormant, and showed disrupting two of them can reactivate the hidden virus in lab tests.

The Ministry of Defence announced that British-built military satellite Titania is in orbit after launching last month, and stood up Project Inaros, a trial of ground-based sensors to monitor threats to UK satellites.

Blue Origin has unveiled a third stage and a more powerful booster engine for its New Glenn rocket, as the vehicle's return to flight after a May pad explosion slips to January 2027.

China's 43rd Antarctic scientific expedition departed Sanya on 7 November with more than 600 team members from over 100 institutions aboard the icebreakers Xuelong and Xuelong 2 and the research vessel Dayang, due back in April 2027.
