Spanish researchers achieve full pancreatic tumor regression in a mouse model study

Pancreatic tumor regression achieved in mice marks a rare and significant breakthrough in one of oncology's most stubborn challenges. Researchers at Spain's National Cancer Research Centre induced complete disappearance of established pancreatic tumors by reprogramming the tumor microenvironment, allowing the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer kills the vast majority of patients it affects, with a five-year survival rate below 12%, partly because dense tissue surrounding tumors blocks treatment and...

Mauritius pioneers heat-resistant coral with 98% survival rates

Coral restoration in Mauritius is delivering results that are turning heads across the marine science world. Researchers working with the Mauritius Oceanography Institute have achieved a 98% survival rate for transplanted coral fragments by using heat-stress conditioning, a technique that trains coral to withstand the warming temperatures climate change is already producing. That figure dwarfs the global average of 60-70% for conventional transplant methods. With the Indian Ocean having suffered significant reef loss in...

Mexico’s middle class now outnumbers its population in poverty for the first time

Mexico's middle class has surpassed the poverty rate for the first time in recorded history, marking one of Latin America's most significant social milestones in decades. CONEVAL data shows poverty fell from over 44 percent in 2008 to below 36 percent, while the middle class grew to exceed that share. The shift was driven by aggressive minimum wage increases, conditional cash transfer programs, record remittances, and nearshoring investment creating formal employment. Serious challenges remain,...

Wind turbines and solar panels generating power across a European landscape for an article about European renewable energy

2026 C.E. January 23

Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in Europe for the first time

European renewable energy from wind and solar surpassed coal and gas combined for the first time in history, supplying 30% of the continent's electricity in 2024. That share had been less than 14% just a decade earlier, making the speed of this shift remarkable. Solar alone generated more electricity than coal across Europe for the first time ever. Carbon emissions from European power generation fell to their lowest level in decades. While challenges around...
