In 2017, astronomers spotted something no one had ever seen before — ‘Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to fly through our Solar System. It came from another star… and vanished just as quickly. Traveling at over 32 km per second, it sparked a global awakening: if we want to study these cosmic drifters, we need to act fast. Now, NASA and ESA are preparing to chase the next one. From ESA’s Comet Interceptor to NASA’s Bridge mission, new tech like AI, solar sails, and spacecraft swarms could finally let us intercept an interstellar visitor in real time. And with the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory, we may soon detect dozens of these mysterious objects each year. The next visitor could be on its way. Will we be ready to meet it?

Tuberculosis has plagued humanity for centuries, killing more people each year than nearly any other infectious disease. But scientists may have finally turned the tide. A new mRNA vaccine, dubbed mRNACV2, has demonstrated strong effectiveness in preclinical trials—triggering a powerful immune response in mice and dramatically reducing the bacterial load in their lungs. This represents a major leap beyond the current BCG vaccine, which offers limited protection and hasn't changed much since its introduction in 1921. What makes this breakthrough especially significant is the use of mRNA technology—the same approach that powered COVID-19 vaccines. This marks the first time mRNA has shown such promise against a bacterial infection, not just viruses. With human trials now on the horizon, the medical community is hopeful that this could lead to a durable, global solution for TB—a disease that still kills over 1 million people annually despite being preventable and treatable. #mRNAVaccine #TBCure #MedicalBreakthrough #InfectiousDiseases #PublicHealthRevolution

Canadian scientists have engineered a revolutionary battery from tree-derived cellulose nanofibers—an energy storage solution that’s not only biodegradable but vanishes into the soil within 60 days after disposal. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that contain toxic metals and pose fire risks, these wood-based batteries are entirely plant-based, flexible, and eco-friendly. They've already been tested in lightweight applications like drones, LED lights, and wearables, proving both functionality and sustainability. The innovation marks a major leap toward greener electronics. With the rise of IoT devices, wearables, and smart packaging, demand for disposable batteries is surging—and so is the resulting e-waste. These tree-powered batteries could eliminate that problem entirely. Imagine powering devices without leaving behind a single gram of waste. Canada is pioneering a future where energy isn’t just renewable—it’s compostable. #GreenTech #BiodegradableBattery #SustainableInnovation #EcoFriendlyTech #CanadianScience
