A NASA spacecraft observed two strong solar flares on Sunday, just hours after a display of Northern Lights reached as far south as central California. The Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of X- class solar flares at 9:40 a.m. ET and 11:27 a.m. ET on August 5. Solar activity is currently at a 23-year high, … Read more
After a tough second-quarter earnings call and issues with their Raptor Lake CPUs, Intel has some positive news. Their first 18A chips have been tested and successfully booted up operating systems, including Panther Lake for PCs and Clearwater Forest server CPUs.

US creates world record-breaking highest-performance superconducting wire At only 0.2 microns thickness, the superconductor wire carried currents typically achieved by HTS wires ten times thicker. Researchers have created the highest-performing high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wire segment yet, with a much-improved price-performance ratio. The wire operates at temperatures from -451 to -321 degrees Fahrenheit (-268 to -196 … Read more
Tiny fragments of microplastics are entering our bodies through food and drink, with significant amounts coming from water. Scientists have discovered a simple way to remove these microplastics from water using boiling and filtering. Researchers from Guangzhou Medical University and Jinan University in China tested the method on soft water and hard tap water, adding … Read more

This simulation created by researchers in the Netherlands might help us know more about mysterious black holes. Black holes are the most mysterious cosmic objects that NASA has ever studied. The most intriguing thing about a black hole is that gravity and spacetime are so strong that even light can’t escape. Scientists have created simulated … Read more
Elon Musk claims that humans with his company Neuralink’s brain chip installed will be able to outperform professional gamers within two years. He also believes that Neuralink needs to speed up human brains so AI doesn’t get “bored.” Musk wants to increase the “output rate” of humans, which is how fast our brain sends signals … Read more
SpaceX’s new Starlink satellites designed to connect directly to smartphones are significantly brighter than their traditional counterparts. These direct-to-cell (DTC) satellites shine nearly five times brighter in the sky, partly because they orbit at a lower altitude of 217 miles (350 kilometers) compared to regular Starlinks at 340 miles (550 kilometers). The higher luminosity is … Read more
More displays of Northern Lights are likely this weekend and in the coming weeks after scientists discovered more sunspots on the sun during July 2024 than at any time since December 2001. Sunspots are magnetic disturbances on the sun’s surface that can be as big as Earth. They’re counted daily since 1611, indicating how magnetically … Read more
