Cancer is turning up more frequently in young women. The American Cancer Society shows the incidence rate for women younger than 50 has increased from 51% higher than men in 2002 to 82% higher in 2021. Regular checkups aid early detection, and convenient genetic testing makes it easier than ever to protect women's health.

A team of students from the University of Surrey, the University of Portsmouth and the University of Southampton are working to fit equipment they designed, made and tested to a suborbital launch vehicle which aims to launch 900km into space.

Kimalu (KEE-ma-loo), a 12-year-old female beluga whale, is resting comfortably following a historic procedure at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. On Tuesday, July 1, Kimalu, who was born at Shedd, underwent a first-of-its-kind surgery to remove a growing network of cysts near her blowhole on her head and neck.  In the process, Kimalu became the first known beluga in the world to recover from general anesthesia.

Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission continue to analyze data collected during the spacecraft’s April 20 encounter with the main-belt asteroid Donaldjohanson.

On Wednesday, 2 July 2025, the Polarstern will set sail from Tromsø, Norway, embarking on an expedition to the Arctic Ocean. Over the next two months, an international research team will analyse the feedback effects between global warming and sea ice retreat in the Arctic Ocean. The investigations will focus on the differences in the melting of various sea ice types – representing the Arctic of the past decades, the present and the future. A parallel airborne campaign will complement the measurements and, at the outset of the expedition, the Polarstern will support the first ice testing of the new French Tara Polar Station research platform.

A joint research team led by Senior Researcher Gyoung S. Na from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) and Professor Chanyoung Park from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a novel AI method—called DELID (Decomposition-supervised Electron-Level Information Diffusion)—that accurately predicts material properties using electron-level information without performing quantum mechanical computations.

The research team, led by Principal Researcher Seong-Hyun Lee at the Virtual Engineering Research Center of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (Chairperson Yeung-Shik Kim), successfully validated the system through full-scale trials on multiple naval ships.
