Optogenetics Wins Nobel, Unlocking Brain Circuitry Behind Emotions and Sight

A Gulfstream G‑100 air ambulance carrying six people disappeared off the coast of Nantucket after losing contact around 01:00 GMT. The United States Coast Guard halted its search late Sunday, confirming the crew and patient were likely lost. The flight, operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, had departed Bermuda at 23:40 UTC‑5 and was bound for Boston’s Logan Airport. Flight data shows a sudden altitude loss before communications failed, and investigators are investigating a possible electrical fault. The company and families are mourning the tragedy while authorities continue to search the debris field.

French education minister Édouard Geffray warned that between 400 and 500 high schools could be closed by Monday after violent clashes with riot police. Protesters demand more teachers, better facilities and safer learning environments. Since the protests began a week ago, 735 schools have been affected, 24 destroyed, and over 5,000 arrests have been made, mostly of minors. The government says it will review policies and ensure a progressive return to lessons, yet organizers plan to continue demonstrations. The unrest now spreads beyond Paris to cities like Montpellier, Nantes and Marseille, raising concerns about student safety and public order.

Former US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new government taskforce, the ‘Super Intelligence Force’, to oversee artificial‑intelligence policy and keep the country ahead in the field. The force, headed by National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton, will coordinate engagement with consumers, industry, faith groups and critical infrastructure. In tandem, Trump signed an executive order that renames artificial intelligence in official documents as “Super Intelligence” and requires federal agencies to adopt the new terminology. The move follows pressure from tech leaders such as OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk to tighten regulation and self‑monitoring of AI developments.
