Harvard's DoriVac platform, built from self-assembling DNA nanostructures, matches mRNA vaccine immune responses while eliminating cold chain requirements, a Nature Biomedical Engineering study shows.

Spinosaurus mirabilis, the first new spinosaurid species in over a century, has been identified from fossils in Niger's Sahara, challenging the view that these predators were coastal.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed pPro-MobV, a second-generation CRISPR-based gene drive that spreads through bacterial populations via conjugal transfer to disable antibiotic resistance genes, demonstrating effectiveness even within biofilms.

Researchers at CSIRO, the University of Melbourne, and RMIT have built and tested a quantum battery prototype that completed a full charge-store-discharge cycle for the first time, demonstrating a counterintuitive property where charging speed increases with battery size.

A Kyoto University team applied three types of shear strain to ultra-thin crystals of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4 and found virtually no change in its transition temperature, ruling out several leading theoretical models and opening new questions about the material's pairing symmetry.

Two March discoveries reveal a 10-billion-year-old lava world with a thick atmosphere and a sulfur-dominated planet unlike anything in existing classification systems.

Carbon Robotics tops $100M in revenue, Solinftec deploys 100-plus autonomous sprayers across U.S. farms, and Ecorobotix sells its 1,000th precision unit as agricultural robots enter commercial scale.

Sandia demonstrates that spiking neural networks can solve physics simulations on Intel Loihi 2, Intel ships the 4nm Loihi 3 with eight million neurons, and UT San Antonio opens the first public neuromorphic computing hub in the United States.

NASA's Perseverance rover gains autonomous navigation and AI-planned driving while the ESCAPADE twin spacecraft head for Mars orbit, but Congress's cancellation of Mars Sample Return hands the prize of returning Martian rocks to China's Tianwen-3 mission.

Kīlauea's 43rd eruptive episode on March 10 produced record 540-meter lava fountains and sent ash across communities 80 kilometers away, prompting closures and flight cancellations as USGS forecasts Episode 44 for late March.

Paleontologists have recovered tiny fossilized teeth of Purgatorius from Colorado's Denver Basin, marking the southernmost occurrence ever documented and suggesting that archaic primates dispersed rapidly across western North America within hundreds of thousands of years of the dinosaur extinction.

A Japanese research team has identified a small molecule called Mic-628 that advances the mammalian circadian clock by activating the Period1 gene through a previously unexploited molecular pathway, cutting simulated jet lag recovery from seven days to four in mice after a single oral dose.
