A colossal cube-shaped skyscraper will soon redefine Riyadh’s skyline and urban living. The Mukaab, a 400-meter-tall, wide, and long structure, will house 27,000 residents and serve as the heart of the New Murabba district. This $50 billion project combines advanced technology with cultural heritage to create a futuristic city within a city. Unlike traditional skyscrapers,...
China is taking a bold step in renewable energy. The country plans to build a massive solar power station in space. This project, known as China’s Solar Array, could generate more energy in one year than all the oil on Earth. If successful, it would transform how the world produces and consumes electricity. To put...
A Harvard-affiliated astrophysicist has sparked debate by claiming a mathematical formula supports the existence of God. Dr. Willie Soon, known for his work in astrophysics, argues that the universe’s precise conditions point to intentional design. His reasoning builds on the “fine-tuning argument,” which suggests the universe’s fundamental constants are too perfect to be random. Could...
Stephen Hawking was one of the most brilliant minds of our time. As a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, he reshaped our understanding of black holes, the universe, and the nature of time. His groundbreaking research helped scientists explore deep space, understand quantum mechanics, and push the limits of human knowledge. But beyond his scientific discoveries,...
A meteorite discovered in Somalia has revealed two new minerals, offering clues about asteroid formation and the solar system’s past. The El Ali meteorite, weighing over 15 tonnes, was first identified in 2020. Researchers analyzing a 70-gram sample found minerals never seen on Earth. They named the minerals elaliite, after the meteorite’s location, and elkinstantonite,...
Archaeologists have unearthed a 9,000-year-old ancient city found near Jerusalem, marking a significant breakthrough in our understanding of early human civilization. Located near Motza, this expansive Neolithic site is one of the largest discovered in the region, challenging previous assumptions about the area’s ancient habitation. Yaniv Berman, from the Israel Antiquities Authority, was asked to...
Physicists believe a mirror universe might exist where time moves backward, possibly happening before the Big Bang. This idea comes from CPT symmetry, which suggests the universe stays balanced if charge, direction, and time are flipped. To keep this balance, some scientists think our universe has an opposite version, where time flows in reverse. In...
Cancer rates are climbing, and young women are at the center of a troubling trend. Recent studies show they face an 82% higher cancer risk than men in the same age group. This sharp rise raises urgent questions about the causes and what can be done to stop it. Experts point to a mix of...
NASA has captured a stunning view of the birth of a star, revealing details never seen before. This breakthrough offers a rare glimpse into how stars form, shedding light on the forces shaping galaxies. Using the advanced infrared James Webb Space Telescope, the instrument has pierced through cosmic dust to capture this pivotal moment in...
Some foods can be as dangerous as they are delicious. From toxic plants to venomous seafood, a single bite can cause paralysis—or worse. In South America, Cassava is a staple for millions and provides essential carbohydrates for many in tropical regions. However, its roots and leaves contain cyanogenic glycosides, which release cyanide when broken down,...
Scientists have long believed that Newton’s laws govern all motion, from falling apples to speeding rockets. However, a recent study challenges this idea at the microscopic level. Researchers have discovered that human sperm swim through thick fluids in a way that appears to defy Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Instead of experiencing the expected resistance,...
Imagine every step you take generating electricity—that’s the magic behind Pavegen’s innovative floor tiles. These tiles harness kinetic energy from footsteps, converting it into usable power. Each footstep produces a small but measurable amount of energy, enough to power LED lights or sensors. In bustling areas like train stations or shopping malls, where thousands tread...
