Bitcoin developers have proposed a new output type, Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), which removes the key-path door from Taproot’s functionality. This change aims to reduce long-exposure risk and make the protocol more quantum-safe. P2MR outputs directly commit to the script-tree Merkle root, requiring users to reveal a script and provide a Merkle proof. The proposal frames quantum … Read more

A team of researchers from Tsinghua University in China has shattered the record for the fastest 3D printing speed, creating objects in a staggering 0.6 seconds. This breakthrough could revolutionize various fields such as biomedicine, nanotechnology, and electronics. The new technique uses high-dimensional holographic light fields to create complex structures almost instantly. Unlike traditional point-by-point … Read more
It’s not your job to “fix” your partner’s trauma, and trying to do so can recreate painful dynamics from childhood. As children, we learned to anticipate the moods or desires of those in power to stay safe, which led us to become caretakers and mediators in our adult relationships. However, this desire to help others … Read more
Rapid volumetric 3D printing has been a long-standing challenge in various fields, including engineering, photonics, and biology. Traditional methods often suffer from trade-offs between resolution and build rate, limiting their efficiency and flexibility. Here, we propose a novel method called digital incoherent synthesis of holographic light fields (DISH), which enables high-speed, high-resolution volumetric printing of … Read more
Donald Trump’s relentless self-promotion has created a mythologized superhuman persona, making him the inescapable force at home and around the world. His administration is considering designating battleships in his name, and foreign leaders are pressured to endorse his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize. This unprecedented level of self-aggrandizement borders on cult-like behavior. Trump regularly … Read more

Former Justice Department official John Yoo says President Donald Trump has broad removal power over executive branch officers, including court-appointed U.S. attorneys, due to a “quirk” in the law. The Constitution doesn’t specify how U.S. attorneys are removed from office, but existing law and Supreme Court precedent have given the president authority to fire inferior … Read more
Physicists have teamed up with an artificial intelligence (AI) model to arrive at a new result in theoretical physics. The method used by the team and the model is turning heads, as it simplifies the calculation of scattering amplitudes for particles. To calculate these probabilities, scientists traditionally use Feynman diagrams, which show all possible ways … Read more
