Debulking influenza and herpes simplex virus strains by a wide-spectrum anti-viral protein formulated in clinical grade chewing gum: Molecular Therapy
Debulking influenza and herpes simplex virus strains by a wide-spectrum anti-viral protein formulated in clinical grade chewing gum
Daniell and colleagues report clinical-grade bean chewing-gum containing the viral trap protein (FRIL) is stable and fully functional up to 790 days, when stored at ambient temperature. Each gum table...

Scientists found evidence that asteroids once had flowing water inside — could they be future fuel stations in space? 💧🚀
Every single DNA and RNA base has now been found in meteorites—life might just come from the stars!
🚨 Breaking: Signals from Europa! Scientists have detected powerful radio transmissions coming from Jupiter’s moon Europa—and they’re only getting stronger. The signals contain mathematical patterns and geometric sequences that don’t look natural.
Big news from the Red Planet: A sample collected from an ancient Martian riverbed by NASA's Perseverance rover, after a year of scientific analysis, is one of the best indications yet that life once existed on our planetary neighbour.
🚨 Russia’s EnteroMix cancer vaccine is turning heads — early trials show “100% efficacy.” Experts warn it’s still early days, but studies already suggest up to 80% tumor reduction and higher survival rates. First target: colorectal cancer… and yes, it’ll be FREE for patients. 🙌

Chinese scientists have developed a next-generation electronic warfare system capable of jamming advanced radar systems and transmitting battlefield data across over 300 platforms. The 6G device integrates microwave photonics to generate over 3,600 false targets and spoof enemy radar.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31), 2.5 million light-years away, is a vast spiral of stars, nebulae, and dust—home to a trillion suns. We see it as it looked millions of years ago. In 2 billion years, it’ll collide with the Milky Way, triggering new stars and reshaping both galaxies. #astronomy #space

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has tentatively detected dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b, a molecule only produced by living organisms on Earth, potentially indicating the presence of life. This discovery is exciting but requires further observations to confirm.
Utroba Cave, located in the Rhodope Mountains near Ilinitsa, Kardzhali Province, Bulgaria, was likely carved by hand more than 3,000 years ago during the early Thracian period, around 1,100 BC
Highest resolution picture of Europa's surface ever taken. A Moon of Jupiter
You are looking at the first ever image of another multi-planet solar system.
The first image of a black hole, taken by the Event Horizon Telescope, shows a black hole at the centre of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy. This black hole is massive, with a diameter of 40 billion kilometres, which is about three million times the size of Earth.
There’s reportedly an 'alarming evidence' of previous life on Mars 🤯
Scientists bring back dire wolves after 12,500 years of extinction. Colossal Biosciences has produced three dire wolf pups—two males and one female—using gene editing, cloning, and ancient DNA from fossils dated 13,000 to 72,000 years old.
One of the largest known black holes, TON 618, is estimated to be 66 billion times the mass of our Sun, and its shadow is so large that a beam of light would take weeks to traverse it, making it significantly larger than our solar system.
It's a very simple calculation, but it shows just how powerful math can be.
