    Agrivoltaics boost crop yields even when the solar panels aren’t generating power. New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops, from peppers to pasture grass. These benefits persist even when panels are offline, strengthening the case for agrivoltaics as dual-use infrastructure.

    A 14-year-old boy has folded origami that can hold 10,000 times its weight. Miles Wu used the Miura-ori fold, which is known for collapsing and expanding with precision. He’d like to use his origami experiments to help improve pop-up emergency shelters, which currently are “sometimes strong,” sometimes “easily deployable,” and sometimes “can compact really small,” but rarely all three. https://www.sciencealert.com/14-year-old-wins-prize-for-origami-that-can-hold-10000-times-its-own-weight?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#ShareGoodNewsToo

    Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without medication. It’s the first time in history that a person with type 1 diabetes has been freed from insulin injections using cells made from their own body. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)01022-5?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#ShareGoodNewsToo

    Denmark is on track to wipe out the most dangerous strains of HPV. 15 years after rolling out its national HPV vaccination program, Denmark is closing in on eliminating the leading cancer-causing strains of the virus. New data shows the vaccine has all but wiped out HPV16 and HPV18 - which together cause around 70% of cervical cancers - among young women born after 2000. It's a powerful proof point for what widespread, equitable vaccine coverage can do. https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/denmark-close-wiping-out-leading-cancer-causing-hpv-strains-after-vaccine-roll-out?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#ShareGoodNewsToo
