🌬️ Envision drops new 16.7 MW offshore wind turbine 🌬️

Envision Energy has launched its EN-252/16.7 offshore wind turbine, designed specifically for high-wind international markets. This new machine is based on the existing Model Z platform and features AI-based monitoring for better reliability. It could potentially boost annual energy production by 1-2% and cut turbine numbers by 10% in a gigawatt-scale project. Furthermore, these upgrades are estimated to lower the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) by 2-4%. The turbine can handle extreme conditions, surviving gusts up to 82 metres per second under a once-in-50-year event scenario.

🔭 Massive stars might explain weird galaxies found by Webb

Astronomers are investigating if early galaxies look strange because their biggest stars evolved differently. A new survey, TEMPOS, using Hubble's COS, is examining these stars in nearby dwarf galaxies. This work was published on September 21, 2026, and involves 29 massive stars from six local dwarf galaxies. These stars act as stand-ins to model conditions from the early universe, which Webb is currently exploring. Findings suggest wind speeds drop sharply at very low metallicity, potentially changing galaxy evolution. 🌌

🧠 Scientists map gene activity in the brain

Researchers created a detailed map of gene activity within the brain's prefrontal cortex. This study was conducted on over 6.3 million cells from 1,494 deceased donors spanning ages infancy to 108. The findings, published in Nature, illuminate processes in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and schizophrenia. These insights help identify vulnerable cell types and potential therapeutic targets for neurological issues. Future research will use this map to guide personalized treatments for brain disorders. 🧠

🌌 Exoplanet sends first-ever detected radio signal

Astronomers have detected a radio signal originating directly from an exoplanet for the very first time. This groundbreaking discovery was made by researchers from Harvard & Smithsonian and the University of Oregon, who pinpointed the source. The detection occurred in the Beta Pictoris system, which is located 63.4 light-years away from Earth. The signal is actually from the exoplanet's aurora, suggesting it has a strong magnetic field. This marks the first direct measurement of an exoplanet's magnetic field strength. 🛰️
