The Tesla Model Y’s midcycle refresh brought significant enough changes to earn it a spot in our 2026 SUV of the Year competition. The full list of updates is extensive, but the highlights matter.

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...
