Archaeologists have made a significant discovery at the Tell Al-Abqain excavation site in northwest Egypt, uncovering a 3,500-year-old military fort that once housed soldiers and stored weapons. The mudbrick structure features two identical sections, one of which was used to store daily rations for soldiers who protected the land from Sea Peoples incursions. The team … Read more
The United States has successfully expanded its continental shelf boundaries, adding an additional one million square kilometers beneath the ocean. This massive claim is equivalent in size to two Californias, making America significantly larger than it was yesterday. Mead Treadwell, former lieutenant governor of Alaska and chair of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, explains that … Read more
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by demonstrating the first experimental observation of non-Hermitian edge burst in quantum dynamics using a photonic quantum walk setup. This breakthrough has significant implications for understanding real-world systems characterized by dissipation, interactions with the environment, or gain-and-loss mechanisms. The researchers focused on a non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), where a … Read more
Former President Donald Trump’s social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), is in a deep slump, losing nearly three-quarters (72%) of its value since peaking at $66.22 on March 27. Despite a brief rebound on Monday, the stock has dropped to its lowest level since the merger that brought the owner of Truth … Read more
A team of scientists from Harvard University and Google has created the most detailed map of human brain connections ever produced. The map is a highly detailed neural network that provides researchers with 300 million images based on just one cubic millimeter of the human brain. This unprecedented level of detail is expected to revolutionize … Read more
Telegram, once known for its emphasis on user privacy, has recently removed its end-to-end encryption feature for private chats. This move has raised concerns among users, who are worried about the potential implications for their online security.

A Chinese startup is aiming to achieve nuclear fusion at half the cost of its US rivals, according to reports. The company, called Zappon, claims that its innovative technology can produce clean energy at a lower price point than existing nuclear power plants. Nuclear fusion involves combining atomic nuclei to release massive amounts of energy, … Read more
Cancer treatment has reached a new milestone with the development of molecular jackhammers, offering hope for more targeted and efficient therapies. This innovative approach utilizes advanced molecular science to disrupt cancer cells in a way that minimizes harm to healthy tissue. The novel method stimulates aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light, causing them to vibrate and … Read more
A new report from Morgan Stanley suggests that the rapid development of generative AI (GenAI) has accelerated the rate of greenhouse gas emissions from data centers. The report predicts that by 2030, data centers will emit 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide, three times higher than previously predicted without GenAI’s impact. The increased demand for … Read more
China has accelerated its plans for the Tianwen-3 mission to Mars, aiming to launch the mission in 2028, two years earlier than previously planned. This move puts China ahead of the United States’ plan for a sample mission to the planet, which remains stuck due to significant delays and budget increases. The chief designer of … Read more
