A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

First rule of driving: Don't trust the other driver. Don't know what they're doing and can't assume what they're doing. If I can't trust humans to drive correctly, how can I trust a machine?

"… the onus for safety is on the manufacturers…" Really!? People are fighting tooth and nail to keep their distractable, emotional, drunk, high asses behind the controls so they can continue to kill 30,000+ on American roads each year. But that's ok, since in America everyone takes "individual responsibility", except of course drunk, distracted monkies behind the wheel kill innocent bystanders who were given no choice.
We need self-driving cars sooner rather than later. There will be job losses which will lead into discussions of a robot communist utopia or speed the coming of the next social revolution. I want fallible humans out from behind the wheel. And I want huge efficiency gains from a taxi business model and vehicles that are utilized 100% of the time instead of the 6% of the time as they are now.

there goes another 10,000,000 jobs worldwide soon, then if this succeeds, taxis, busses, etc. millions of lost jobs, upon the already millions lost, add to that self checkouts in stores (which will be the majority soon)..
very soon, they will not need many of us left, drones will do the battles (google boeing navy carrier drone ), thats only 1 unmanned system, there are thousands being used this very day, and the numbers increase daily, as do the jobs lost..
Hmmmm.. what will the elites do with millions upon millions of people that will get replaced by unmanned/automonous systems ? I can think of a few thing they would do, lol, none of them very nice…
