🧠 Neuralink enters the Canadian market: first patients receive brain implants

Elon Musk’s company Neuralink has expanded its clinical trials to Canada — the first brain implants were installed in Toronto’s University Health Network (UHN) for two patients with cervical spinal injuries. The implant can help them interact with digital devices, for example, by sending text messages. This is an important step in the company’s international expansion after starting trials in the US and the UK.

🌱 Japanese scientists create biodegradable plastic stronger than PET

A group of bioengineers in Japan engineered E. coli bacteria capable of producing an alternative to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) — one of the most widely used industrial thermoplastics. The new material not only decomposes naturally but also surpasses PET in strength. Moreover, bacteria can produce it from glucose in unprecedented quantities without by-products.

🌌 Elon Musk: docking two Starships in orbit will be easier than docking with the ISS

The head of SpaceX stated that orbital refueling of Starship, involving the docking of two Starship V3 vehicles, will be a simpler task than docking Dragon with the ISS. According to Musk, this is because SpaceX is “docking with itself” rather than with a foreign station. The first attempt to dock two Starships in orbit is planned for Q1 2026.

💉 Scientists question adult revaccination effectiveness

Childhood vaccines may last much longer than previously thought. A new study shows that adults may not need booster shots against tetanus and diphtheria if vaccinated in youth. This could save the US about $1 billion annually. Similar findings exist in the UK, where revaccination hasn’t been practiced since the 1950s, yet cases remain extremely low.
