CRISPR Brings Back Ancient Gene That Could Cut Gout and Fatty Liver Risk
Rewriting a Missing Chapter in Human Biology In a surprising turn for genetic science, researchers using CRISPR gene-editing tools have revived a gene that disappeared from the human lineage millions of years ago. The restored gene appears to play a role in regulating uric acid production and lipid metabolism, two factors closely tied to gout…

Red Light Glare: A Surprising Challenge to Glazing Standards
Introduction: A Glare That Defies Expectations Glare from sunlight is a common problem for occupants of modern buildings, often worsened by windows with insufficient shading. Traditional smart glazing aims to curb overheating in summer while reducing glare by adjusting tint levels. Most of these glazing technologies trend toward a blue tint when shading increases. However,…

Red Glare Breaks Assumptions: New Glazing Findings Challenge Standards
Smart glazing and glare: a new twist Glare from sunlight is a familiar problem for building occupants, especially when windows lack adequate shading. Modern smart glazing technologies aim to protect interiors by adjusting tint levels automatically, reducing overheating in summer and cutting excessive solar radiation. A common feature of many tinted glazing systems is a…
