2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine Honors Breakthrough That Lets Scientists Control the Brain With Light

An algal protein helped scientists reactivate a fear memory in mice, turning light into a tool for testing what specific brain cells do. Scientists who worked out how to control brain cells with light have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel were honored for their […]

Scientists Discover an Unexpected Problem With a Cancer Drug Already in Human Trials

Earlier cancer studies may need a second look after researchers found that a drug acts mainly on an unexpected target. An experimental cancer drug already being tested in patients appears to work mainly by blocking a different biological target from the one it was developed to inhibit. The finding emerged from brain cancer research that […]

SpaceX Dragon Delivers Groundbreaking Science and Solar Arrays to ISS

SpaceX has delivered tiny brain models, 3D heart tissue, and artificial retina technology to the space station in a mission that could open new doors for medical research on Earth. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft successfully arrived at the International Space Station on October 15, docking at 10:27 a.m. EDT with the space-facing port of the station’s […]
