Scientists at Delix Therapeutics and UC Davis have engineered a modified LSD compound called JRT by altering just two atoms. This innovation preserves the therapeutic potential of LSD—boosting mood and cognition—while eliminating the hallucinogenic effects.

It’s part of a new wave of “non-hallucinogenic psychedelics” that could revolutionize treatment for depression, schizophrenia, and PTSD by enhancing brain plasticity without the trip.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have unveiled MenstruAI, a groundbreaking diagnostic platform that transforms menstrual blood into a powerful tool for non-invasive health monitoring.

At the heart of the innovation is a smart sanitary pad embedded with a paper-based biosensor, much like a COVID-19 test strip.

This sensor detects crucial biomarkers such as:

- CRP (C-reactive protein) – a marker for inflammation,

- CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen) – linked to certain cancers,

- CA-125 – commonly associated with ovarian cancer and endometriosis.

To use the system, individuals take a photo of the used pad with a smartphone.

The MenstruAI app, powered by machine learning and image analysis, then interprets color changes in the sensor to deliver personalized health insights.

This low-cost, accessible innovation could revolutionize women’s health diagnostics, especially in underserved or remote areas where regular screenings are unavailable.

It offers a discreet, private, and empowering alternative to conventional tests.

Canada’s General Fusion has just achieved a major milestone: 600 million neutrons per second using Magnetized Target Fusion. This brings us significantly closer to harnessing fusion—the same process that powers the sun—for limitless, zero-carbon electricity on Earth.

With no radioactive waste or meltdown risk, this achievement could reshape the global energy landscape. Commercial fusion may arrive sooner than expected.

Chinese researchers have unveiled a laser imaging system so precise, it can reconstruct text as small as a sesame seed from 1.36 kilometers away. Using active intensity interferometry, the technology overcomes atmospheric distortion—something that stumps traditional optics—by analyzing fluctuations in bounced infrared laser beams.

This level of detail opens doors far beyond espionage. Scientists envision applications in archaeology, wildlife tracking, space observation, and disaster response. With AI and precision laser upgrades on the way, this ‘spy’ laser might soon become one of the most powerful remote-sensing tools on Earth.

China is constructing the 180-meter-tall Yangqu Dam in Tibet using a fully automated system—no human workers on-site. The process relies on AI-powered machinery, robotic trucks, and autonomous paving systems that function like giant 3D printers, layering materials with extreme precision.

This bold experiment in smart infrastructure not only accelerates construction but also enhances safety and efficiency. If successful, it could pave the way for future megaprojects on Earth—and potentially even on Mars.
