Scientists can now grow wood in a lab without cutting a single tree
A team of researchers at MIT claims that lab-grown timber can replace deforestation driving products made from real wood. They have developed a technique using which timber can be produced in any shape and size, so for example, if you need a new wooden chair, using the researcher’s technique, you can create it in a lab without cutting a single tree.

James Webb official describes ‘solemn’ mood during ‘very serious’ early setback
NASA's James Webb team made history last week.
Only a short time ago though, NASA officials feared James Webb's mission was doomed and that we may never see the first scientific images revealed to the world just a few days ago.

NASA Reveals Ambitious New Plan to Detect Signs of Life on Distant Planets
NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts is famous for supporting outlandish ideas in the astronomy and space exploration fields. Since being re-established in 2011, the institute has supported a wide variety of projects as part of its three-phase program.
However, so far, only three projects have gone on to receive Phase III funding. And one of those just released a white paper describing a mission to get a telescope that could effectively see biosignatures on nearby exoplanets by utilizing the gravitational lens of our own Sun.
