Scientists at the University of Bayreuth have used CRISPR gene editing to create spiders that spin silk glowing red under fluorescent light.

In the experiment, researchers injected spider embryos with DNA for a red fluorescent protein, enabling the silk to retain its natural strength and lightness while emitting a vivid red glow. The achievement, detailed in *Angewandte Chemie*, showcases CRISPR’s ability to reprogram organisms for both functional and visual traits.

While glowing spiders may sound like a novelty, the implications are significant. Spider silk is stronger than steel by weight and more eco-friendly than synthetics like Kevlar. Enhancing it through gene editing could lead to advanced materials for medicine, defense, and sustainable manufacturing. Since spiders are difficult to raise in large numbers due to their cannibalistic nature, researchers suggest silkworms could be engineered in the future for scalable production of modified silk.

A 22-year-old woman from Jambi City, identified as NA, married someone she met on a dating app who introduced themselves as “Ahnaf Arrafif,” claiming to be a successful doctor. Ahnaf moved in to help care for NA’s parents, quickly gaining the family’s trust, and the two married.

Months later, NA noticed inconsistencies—Ahnaf’s schedule didn’t match that of a practicing doctor, they never met any of Ahnaf’s “relatives,” and Ahnaf avoided changing clothes in front of anyone. Suspicion grew until NA’s mother confronted Ahnaf directly. It was then revealed that Ahnaf was actually a woman named Erayani, who had no medical qualifications.

The case went to court—not for the marriage itself, but for falsifying medical credentials, which is a crime under Indonesian law. The incident has sparked public debate about trust, deception, and identity in relationships.

Meet the only family in the UK to have SIX generations alive together - and the oldest is 100.

Ruby Snowling, who is 100 years old, gets plenty of love and help from the girls in her family — all five generations of them. Her family is believed to be only the second in the UK to have six living generations at the same time, and amazingly, they are all women. The youngest is Ruby’s great-great-great-granddaughter, Meiche Hume.

Ruby had eight children with her husband Russell, who passed away in 1979. She now lives with her son Albert, 81, in Attleborough, Norfolk.

Her daughter Dorothy Matthews, 79, lives nearby, and Dorothy’s daughter Sandra Smith, 60, lives in Suffolk. Sandra’s daughter Samantha, 40, lives in Norwich with her daughter Porche — who gave birth to Meiche in February last year.

Sandra says Ruby is still sharp, healthy, and full of life. She believes hard work, honesty, and good morals are the secrets to their family’s long lives.

In Japan, the term "Johatsu" (蒸発), which literally means "evaporation," refers to people who deliberately disappear from their lives due to intense personal pressures like debt, family conflict, shame, or work-related stress. According to The Economic Times, these individuals often vanish without warning, leaving behind homes, jobs, and relationships to start over in complete anonymity.

To make this possible, many turn to specialized companies known as "night movers" or yonige-ya. These discreet services operate mostly under cover of darkness, helping clients pack up and relocate without alerting neighbors or family. The phenomenon gained traction in the 1990s after Japan’s economic bubble burst, leaving many in financial ruin. Sociologist Hiroki Nakamori notes that Japan’s cultural emphasis on privacy and the limited police involvement in non-criminal disappearances make it surprisingly easy for someone to vanish.

According to a 2013 study from Duke University’s Brain Imaging and Analysis Center, just two hours of daily silence triggered the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning, at least in mice. Researchers originally used silence as a control condition while testing how different sounds affected the brain. But unexpectedly, they found that two hours of daily silence triggered the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, the region responsible for memory and learning.

The study showed that silence had a stronger effect on neurogenesis than exposure to music, white noise, or even pup calls. While the research was conducted on mice, experts believe it may have implications for humans as well. According to neurologist Dr. Pawan Ojha, intentional silence could support brain health by reducing stress and enhancing cognitive function, though more research is needed to confirm its impact on human neurogenesis.

🧬 A Native American Woman in Viking Iceland? 🛡️
In 2010, scientists uncovered a genetic mystery hidden in the DNA of about 80 modern Icelanders — a mitochondrial lineage known as C1e, linked not to Europe, but to Native American ancestry.
This specific lineage, traced back to around 1700 in southern Iceland, appears to have entered the population much earlier — possibly around the year 1000, the same period when Norse explorers were sailing to Vinland (likely modern-day Newfoundland). Viking sagas describe encounters with Indigenous peoples, and archaeological evidence at L’Anse aux Meadows confirms Viking presence in North America during this time.
The most compelling theory? A Native American woman was brought to Iceland — possibly as a captive, partner, or traveler — and had descendants, leaving behind a genetic footprint that still exists today.
This challenges the old idea that Viking–Native American contact was brief or superficial. Instead, it reveals that real human connections — even across oceans — were happening centuries before Columbus.
We now have genetic proof that the Norse didn’t just explore — they interacted, and possibly intertwined lives with the First Peoples of North America.
🌎 History is deeper — and more connected — than we ever imagined.
