Space Science: NASA launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, a $4B, wide-field observatory designed to survey the universe faster than Hubble and help untangle dark matter and dark energy. Space Engineering: BAE Systems built key opto-mechanical hardware for Roman’s Wide Field Instrument, supporting its thermal stability and precision. Quantum Computing: IBM and University of Chicago researchers reported a logical quantum computing demo using an error-correction approach, finishing in about 15 minutes where classical simulation would be impractical. Biomedicine: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals presented Phase 3 SHASTA-3/4 results showing plozasiran sharply cut triglycerides and reduced acute pancreatitis events in severe hypertriglyceridemia. Health Tech: A new PET/CT tracer, FAPI-04, outperformed FDG for detecting recurrent breast cancer after surgery, shifting management in a notable share of patients. Paleontology: 1.4-million-year-old footprints in Kenya suggest a surprisingly large Paranthropus boisei body size and offer a rare “behavior snapshot.” Earth & Climate: Studies highlight how warming and straw management reshape soil carbon in rice paddies, with different effects at different depths. Public Safety: Malaysia’s Perak is monitoring a weak tremor near Temenggor after preliminary reports said ground movement was minimal.
