A "double neural bypass" developed at New York's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has restored hand movement and touch sensation in a man with complete tetraplegia. Over three years, Keith Thomas — paralyzed from the chest down since a 2020 diving accident — regained enough arm strength to feed himself and drink from a cup.

Researchers have developed a one-step process that converts existing plastics into a new material that degrades significantly faster. The method replaces oxygen atoms with sulfur in the plastic's structure, weakening its molecular bonds. Published in Chem Circularity, the process is described as easily scalable to industrial quantities.
