In a laboratory in Dallas, Texas, researchers at Colossal Biosciences have taken a striking step toward reviving one of the Earth’s most iconic lost creatures: the woolly mammoth. Using advanced gene-editing techniques, scientists have bred mice with long, woolly fur and unique metabolic traits modeled on the extinct mammoth, aiming to perfect a method that could ultimately bring back the species by 2028.

In the dense forests of southern Finland, a quiet comeback is underway. The wolverine, a predator once wiped out from this region due to intense hunting, has reestablished itself after decades of absence. Scientists tracking the species’ movements say this return signals a subtle yet meaningful recovery in an area where the animal was considered extinct. The wolverine’s resurgence was documented by researchers at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland.

The research, published in SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OFMEDICINE & SCIENCE IN SPORTS, conducted in collaboration with scientists from Japan, tested whether brief muscle contractions could improve strength without the need for lengthy workouts.

On the outskirts of Osaka, a group of civil engineers has developed a material that could upend one of the world’s most entrenched and polluting industries. Working in a university lab surrounded by bins of discarded building debris, the researchers have created a new soil binder made from recycled construction dust and crushed glass—a blend that contains no cement and promises to slash carbon emissions in the construction sector.
