Achieving lasting remission for HIV
A particularly promising finding of the RIO trial was that the antibodies also affected dormant HIV hiding out in some cells. These reservoirs are how the virus rebounds when people stop treatment, and antibodies aren’t thought to touch them. Researchers speculate that the T cells boosted by the antibodies can recognize and kill latently infected cells that display even trace amounts of HIV on their surface.
The FRESH intervention, meanwhile, targeted the stubborn HIV reservoirs more directly through incorporating

Welcome to this special Thanksgiving edition of The Intelligence Brief… This week, after months of disruption from the historic 2025 government shutdown, NASA is heading into the holiday season with long-awaited good news: the agency’s next flagship observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, has successfully cleared a critical battery of environmental tests. In our analysis, we’ll be looking at 1) how Roman’s acoustic, vibration, and thermal-vacuum trials confirm it can withstand the violence of launch and
NASA’s Voyager 1 Probe Will Reach One ‘Light Day’ from Earth Next Year, Marking Humanity’s Deepest Foray into the Cosmos
NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe will continue its almost half-century of service by delivering yet another milestone: by this time next year, it should have reached a distance of 1 light-day from Earth.
Based on the most recent estimates, the revolutionary Voyager 1 space probe is expected to achieve the feat on November 15, 2026, continuing its reign as the farthest-travelled human-made object. After flying by Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan, the spacecraft continued its journey into interstellar space.
NASA Spacecraft Discovery Could Solve the Riddle of This Mysterious Feature Buried Under Thousands of Feet of Martian Ice
NASA scientists have made a discovery that is renewing the debate over an unusual feature hidden beneath thousands of feet of ice near the Martian south pole.
The new findings, made possible by the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), have led a team of NASA researchers to conclude that the mysterious region—long suspected of being an underground lake—may be something else entirely.
The team’s discovery was reported on November 17 in a new paper that appeared in Geophysical
Strange Lights, Abductions, and Close Encounters: The “Forgotten” UFO Waves!
Most people in UFO circles are aware of the UFO wave of 1947 that, essentially, kick-started the Modern UFO Era, as well as the subsequent waves that followed throughout the fifties and sixties. Likewise, many are aware of the waves of airship sightings that swept the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There are, though, many other UFO waves, sometimes specific to a particular country, that have flared up since
Evil Haunted and Cursed Murder Houses
Can a place be evil? Is it possible for so many atrocities and death and anguish to seep into a place and permeate in to the point that it actually becomes, in a sense, malevolent? Throughout history, there have been those places around which orbit murder, suffering, and grotesqueries to the point that they are saturated with evil, and in many cases, these places are haunted, cursed, or both. These are some of those places.

How background AI builds operational resilience & visible ROI
If you asked most enterprise leaders which AI tools are delivering ROI, many would point to front-end chatbots or customer support automation. That’s the wrong door. The most value-generating AI systems today aren’t loud, customer-facing marvels. They’re tucked away in backend operations. They work silently, flagging irregularities in real-time, automating risk reviews, mapping data lineage, or helping compliance teams detect anomalies before regulators do. The tools don’t ask for credit, but are saving millions.Operational resilience no longer comes from having

This year’s UN climate talks avoided fossil fuels, again
If we didn’t have pictures and videos, I almost wouldn’t believe the imagery that came out of this year’s UN climate talks. Over the past few weeks in Belem, Brazil, attendees dealt with oppressive heat and flooding, and at one point a literal fire broke out, delaying negotiations. The symbolism was almost too much to bear. While many, including the president of Brazil, framed this year’s conference as one of action, the talks ended with a watered-down agreement. The final
Moving toward LessOps with VMware-to-cloud migrations
In partnership withCognizant Today’s IT leaders face competing mandates to do more (“make us an ‘AI-first’ enterprise—yesterday”) with less (“no new hires for at least the next six months”). VMware has become a focal point of these dueling directives. It remains central to enterprise IT, with 80% of organizations using VMware infrastructure products. But shifting licensing models are prompting teams to reconsider how they manage and scale these workloads, often on tighter budgets. For many organizations, the path forward involves
