Colorado wildlife overpass cut vehicle-animal collisions by 91%, report finds

Guardian | positive | Subscription | Published: 19:17 Oct 19, 2026 (Eastern)

According to a newly released report from the Colorado Department of Transportation, a new wildlife overpass and crossing system on Interstate 25 has reduced vehicle-animal collisions by 91% in the 10 months since its completion. The project, which spans six lanes between Denver and Colorado Springs and connects 39,000 acres of habitat, includes an overpass, five large underpasses, and eight-foot-tall fencing. Officials report that various species, including elk, bears, pronghorn, deer, coyotes, and smaller wildlife, have used the structures. Funded by $22m in federal money and $8m from the state, the project was completed for $15m, and transportation officials hope to construct additional wildlife crossings in the future.

Chapel of Expiation in Paris, France

Atlas Obscura | neutral | Published: 16:00 Oct 19, 2026 (Eastern)

The Chapel of Expiation in Paris is built on the former site of the Madeleine Cemetery, where King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and others were buried during the French Revolution. Commissioned by King Louis XVIII following the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty to honor his brother and sister-in-law, the monument features a courtyard garden and a central chapel with marble sculptures depicting the king and queen, alongside an altar marking where the king's body was exhumed. Following subsequent revolutions, the chapel became a contentious political symbol, surviving proposed demolition by the Paris Commune in 1871. Today, the deconsecrated and historic monument hosts an annual commemorative mass and remains visited by monarchist conservatives.

MIT spinout makes surgical stitching more like applying a sticky note

MIT Business Research | neutral | Published: 00:00 Oct 20, 2026 (Eastern)

MIT spinout SanaHeal has developed a bioadhesive technology, inspired by nature and originally created in an MIT lab, designed to function like tape for connecting tissues during surgical procedures. The hydrogel-based material is intended to form air- and fluid-tight seals on wet and uneven surfaces, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional sutures and staples that may reduce tissue damage and complications. Having already secured regulatory approval to stop trauma bleeding, SanaHeal plans to enter human trials for surgical bleeding control and tissue repair, utilizing a partnership model with larger medical device companies to commercialize the platform technology for various surgical applications.
