Last update: 11 hours ago

Rare Earth Supply for Defense: REalloys secured preferential access to Appalachian rare-earth feedstock (including magnet metals like neodymium and dysprosium) ahead of a Pentagon 2027 deadline to cut China-origin materials from U.S. defense supply chains. Penn Supreme Court & Gambling Tech: Pennsylvania’s highest court ruled “skill games” are slot machines, clearing the way for state taxation, regulation, and limits on where the devices can operate. AI in Drug Discovery (Penn): Penn researchers unveiled an AI-powered antibiotic candidate model, ApexGO, designed to improve weak antimicrobials and prioritize promising peptide variants for lab testing. Healthcare AI Caution: A Penn State study found health chatbots answer about 76% of questions correctly, but nearly one in four responses can be wrong or incomplete—doctors warn not to use them as medical advice. Penn Housing Upgrade: Penn and Greystar closed on redevelopment of Sansom Place West into 448 furnished graduate apartments (493 beds), targeting fall 2027 openings. Biotech Breakthrough Spotlight: The Tang Prize in Biopharmaceutical Science went to pioneers of TIL and CAR-T cancer immunotherapies, including Penn’s Carl H. June. Public Health & Tech Policy: Pennsylvania lawmakers advanced a bill to switch EBT cards to chip-enabled tech to reduce skimming fraud. Citizen Science for Agriculture: A Virginia Tech study found everyday dog owners can help detect spotted lanternfly egg masses, with trained teams matching professional detection performance in tests.
