Researchers have directly observed Floquet effects in graphene for the first time, settling a long-running scientific debate.

A first-of-its-kind trial is testing adult stem cell transplants for advanced dry macular degeneration. Early results show the treatment is safe and can significantly improve vision, even in severely affected patients.
