  • [New] In 2008, the Council of Australian Governments committed to closing the gap in life expectancy between First Nations people and non-Indigenous Australians within a generation (by 2031). AIHW Indigenous HPF
  • [New] If 2025 was the year of exploring generative AI, 2026 will be the year of Agentic AI operating at scale. Rootstack
  • [New] Global data center electricity demand reached approximately 415 TWh in 2024 and could more than double by 2030, creating a potential long-term growth catalyst for utilities tied to grid infrastructure and power generation. The Paper Trading Journal
  • [New] Nations worldwide are recognizing that achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 requires substantial expansion of clean baseload power generation capabilities. PatSnap Eureka
  • [New] DAC is projected to account for 7% of captured CO2 by 2070, serving dual purposes as both a carbon-neutral source of CO2 for synthetic fuel production and a pathway for generating negative emissions when combined with permanent geological storage. Persistence Market Research
  • [New] The power generation sector emerges as the primary growth driver, projected to become the main industry adopter of CCUS by 2030, accounting for approximately 40% of captured CO2 by 2070, with almost half linked to bioenergy according to IEA analysis. Persistence Market Research
  • [New] At RSAC 2026, CrowdStrike announced new cloud security and data protection capabilities addressing how to prioritize cloud risks based on real attacker behaviour and how to protect sensitive data moving across endpoints, SaaS, cloud, and generative AI tools. AIMultiple
  • [New] Adults with prediabetes who carried certain variations of the vitamin D receptor gene had a 19% lower risk of developing diabetes when they took a high daily dose of vitamin D. SciTechDaily
  • [New] Fiserv launched agentOS and partnered with OpenAI to embed generative AI into bank workflows - moves investors will watch for margin leverage and new monetization paths. Stock Titan
  • [New] Guidance from the UK's NICE has generally retained a more structured recommendation, suggesting an observation period of 6 to 12 h after the onset of initial symptoms, especially for patients with risk factors, thereby reflecting a more cautious default position. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] Solar will become the world's largest generator of electricity by 2032, driven by massive overcapacity and falling prices. BloombergNEF
  • [New] The genomes of people from later Neolithic times in Belgium carried at least 50% local hunter-gatherer ancestry, alongside the expected Anatolian farmer ancestry. SciTechDaily
  • [New] Croatian island studies could identify genetic variants involved not in just one, but in hundreds of human quantitative traits. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] In genetic testing studies at the NIH, nearly 32% of eligible people recently offered a test for breast cancer risk declined to take it, most citing concerns about health insurance discrimination and loss of privacy. Genome.gov
  • [New] Using only 85 myopathy cases and 90 controls, researchers discovered a single genetic marker (rs4149056) that conferred a dramatic increase in myopathy risk, 16.9 times higher in CC homozygotes compared to TT homozygotes. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] Quantum computing will generate $850 billion in economic value by 2040. CNN
  • [New] Tempus platform uses AI to match patients with appropriate clinical trials for preventive interventions, analyzing genetic data and medical history to identify individuals who might benefit from experimental therapies or prevention strategies. WTT Solutions
  • [New] MR analysis, demand for generative design software and services is estimated to grow to USD 0.4 billion in 2026 and USD 2.9 billion by 2036. FactMr
  • [New] As health systems move towards more streamlined, data-driven models of genetic testing, approaches like the one applied in the UK could help build more sustainable and equitable pathways for delivering precision medicine. EurekAlert!
  • [New] Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from breaking when cells copy damaged genetic material, a discovery that could affect how certain cancer drugs are developed. News-Medical
  • [New] A healthier Baltic could generate €32 billion annually and create up to 550,000 jobs by 2030. Race For The Baltic
