The pursuit of clean, limitless energy has seen another record broken recently. The Chinese Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly referred to as their “Artificial Sun,” has shattered previous records by having plasma kept temperatures over 100 million degrees Celsius for over 17 minutes. This was achieved just last month on January 20, and represents...

We know that our vitamin and mineral intake is of critical importance to our long-term health. Vitamin B12, in particular, is essential for various bodily functions. These include DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and nerve tissue health. Unfortunately, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at UC San Francisco, meeting the minimum requirement...

Australia is on a collision course with Asia, moving north at an unusually fast pace. Scientists predict that in millions of years, the two continents will merge, triggering massive geological and environmental changes. This shift isn’t just theoretical—it’s already affecting GPS accuracy, increasing seismic activity, and altering ecosystems. As tectonic forces push Australia forward, the...

The iron structures scattered across the Australian desert have long puzzled scientists and Indigenous communities alike. These formations, shaped by ancient geological and climatic forces, provide a window into the region’s prehistoric past. While scientists have uncovered key details about their origins, Indigenous groups have preserved stories that link these structures to cultural traditions. Understanding...

Renewable energy just had another massive breakthrough. Researchers have figured out a new quantum process that explains how plants convert sunlight into energy with almost 100% efficiency. The discovery brings us closer to creating the next evolution of solar panels – hopefully mimicking nature’s design. By studying the behavior in chlorophyll molecules, scientists can hopefully...

Are you one of the lucky few who’ve broken a bone in their life? If you are, you may be more special than you think. A theory is floating around online suggesting that people who’ve never had a broken bone might share some interesting spiritual qualities. While some people may dismiss this as superstition, others...

Throughout history, certain locations have gained eerie reputations as portals to the underworld. These places, steeped in legend and myth, often have terrifying histories that contribute to their status as the gates to hell. Whether due to natural phenomena, ancient rituals, or religious beliefs, these sites continue to fascinate and unsettle those who visit them....

When the COVID-19 pandemic crippled the world, many of us rejoiced when the vaccine came out. The vaccine promised to save millions of lives and help us get back to normal life. The truth is, it did do that – but the story isn’t so rosy for everyone. When a recent Yale University study mentioned...

Imagine a future where IVF isn’t a grueling marathon of hormone shots and doctor’s appointments, but instead a quick, gentle sprint toward parenthood. That’s the promise of Fertilo, a groundbreaking ovarian support cell technology developed by biotech startup Gameto. And just last week, that future became reality: a healthy baby was born in Lima, Peru, using eggs matured...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are beginning to emerge as a cleaner alternative to traditional gas-powered cars. As many climate experts across the world urge the world to shift from expendable energy sources to protect our fragile climate across the globe, this shift has been driven by the need to reduce carbon footprints and combat climate change....

France has achieved a new record in fusion energy by sustaining a plasma reaction for more than 22 minutes. This occurred at the WEST Tokamak reactor, busting through the 10-second baseline and beating China’s previous benchmark. According to CEA, “This leap forward demonstrates how our knowledge of plasmas and technological control of them over longer...

Scientists have discovered a weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field that is expanding over the South Atlantic. This region, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), allows more solar radiation to reach satellites and the planet’s surface. Researchers are studying how this change affects navigation, communications, and power systems. The anomaly may also reveal shifts...
