Astronomers observe a dramatic event on exoplanet TOI 1227 b. This young gas planet is losing its atmosphere quickly. Intense X-ray radiation from its red dwarf star is the cause. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory helps in the discovery. Scientists believe this offers insights into planetary evolution. The planet is unlikely to support life.

The breakthrough comes from the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, where scientists have engineered an in vitro biotransformation (ivBT) platform. This system uses enzymes to convert methanol, derived from industrial waste or captured CO₂, into sucrose, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional farming methods.
Under a public-private partnership model, HAL will function as the system integrator, overseeing mission assurance, integration, and launch operations, while subcontracting key subsystems to industry partners
