In the global race to harness gene-editing technologies, China has emerged as a front-runner — pioneering bold experiments, investing billions in biotech, and rapidly advancing the use of CRISPR in agriculture, medicine, and human health. But alongside these scientific leaps, China’s approach to CRISPR gene editing has also sparked controversy and raised urgent ethical questions…
From reusable rockets to lunar landers and satellite megaconstellations, private space companies have reshaped what was once the sole domain of national governments. In 2025, names like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab are synonymous with innovation, speed, and ambition in orbit and beyond. But as public interest grows and government agencies increasingly rely on…
