Scientists found that pancreatic cancer cells continually reshape their genetic makeup to become more aggressive, spread, and evade treatment. In laboratory experiments, blocking a key gene reversed some of these changes, suggesting a potential new approach against the disease.

Researchers found that older adults with a specific genetic profile had a 70% lower relative risk of dementia when taking low-dose aspirin, although previous studies found no overall protective effect. The finding suggests genetics may explain why some people benefit while others do not.

The article notes that global electricity demand continues to rise, driven by the rapid growth of AI, data centers, electric vehicles, and industrial electrification, making solar a focus of energy infrastructure investment. It explores what scale of generation capacity would be required for an investor aiming at a $3,000 daily return.

USC researchers found that older adults who closely followed the Mediterranean diet had higher levels of the mitochondria-produced proteins humanin and SHMOOSE, which have been linked to protection against heart disease and Alzheimer's. The findings suggest a possible association, not a proven causal effect.

Valve says SteamOS 3.9, numbered 3.9.5, is now available on the stable channel to all users. The update lowers Steam Deck idle power consumption when no audio is playing and fixes streaming and display issues across SteamOS devices, including Steam Machine.

A wearable system reportedly captures human activity data for robot training. The accompanying context notes that humanoid robots need to reliably coordinate movement, posture, and how they touch or grasp objects to complete everyday tasks.

A small device that gently stimulates nerves through the ear may offer a new way to tackle stubborn high blood pressure. In a clinical trial of 63 patients already taking medication, the treatment proved safe, easy to use at home, and well tolerated. Although it did not significantly outperform a placebo overall, patients with more severe hypertension showed promising reductions in blood pressure.

India’s largest renewable energy trade show, Renewable Energy India Expo 2026, returned to Greater Noida, outside of Delhi. The three-day event highlighted a national solar industry that has reached enormous proportions and continues to grow with huge investments in new solar installations, grid upgrades, and localized supply chain.

A major study discovered distinct antibody patterns in the blood that could reveal hidden warning signs of inflammatory bowel disease up to 10 years before diagnosis. This could help predict who might develop Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, even distinguishing those at risk of more complicated disease.

A new mRNA vaccine personalized to a patient's tumor reportedly reduced the risk of melanoma recurrence by over 40 percent in a Phase 3 trial, which the outlet describes as another example of the promise of mRNA vaccines in treating cancer.

Scientists found that switching off a protein called Mitch makes human cells burn more fat and prevents new fat cells from developing. The finding builds on mouse experiments showing resistance to obesity and improved muscular endurance, raising hopes for a new weight-loss approach; it remains early-stage research.

California firm Gritt Robotics is working with top EPC companies to install six million solar panels over the next two years using AI-assisted robotics. This initiative aims to bolster the shrinking solar workforce.

The UAE-based Jampur Group has been selected to manage and modernize Mozambique’s Beluluane Solar Panel Factory. The factory suspended production around 2022 due to technological limitations and market competition.

This week, Women in Solar+ Europe features Italian independent renewable energy consultant Giulia Muia, who says a resilient energy sector depends not only on diversified energy sources but also on diverse voices, perspectives, and inclusive leadership that drive innovation and better decisions. She describes empowering women, listening to different experiences, and creating space for emerging talent as essential to a stronger, more sustainable renewable energy future.

According to PV Magazine, a Brazilian couple traveled through 10 African countries in a motorhome equipped with rooftop solar panels, 15.36 kWh of lithium battery storage, and alternator charging. The system powers household appliances and satellite internet, enabling off-grid travel with minimal reliance on external electricity connections.

According to EnergySage's latest marketplace report, U.S. residential solar prices climbed 3.2% in the first half of 2026 as installers adjusted to the expiration of the federal residential solar tax credit. The report also highlights a surge in third-party ownership financing, rising installation costs, and shifting equipment market shares.

Logitech announced Chain Reaction, a global supply chain decarbonization program that enables suppliers through renewable energy aggregation and supplier capability building, aiming to help supply partners cut carbon emissions and optimize factory operations toward its 2030 climate goals.
