Developing (many) false claims about Covid vaccines
On September 4, 2025, at a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense questions from many senators about his vaccine policy, including his stance on Covid-19 vaccines and mRNA vaccine technology. Kennedy agreed that President Donald Trump’s signature initiative to produce Covid-19 vaccines in nine […]
Scientists find “extraordinary” in their minds with the problem of famous supernova
A huge star that moved soundly through the cliff of extinction about 11 or 300 years ago. The banishment of the outer layer pulsated with energy, causing material to flow into space. It eventually explodes as a supernova, and its remains are one of the most studied supernova remnants (SNRs). This is called Cassiopeia A […]
A glowing “sand battery” heats small towns in Finland
A small municipality in southern Finland recently installed the world’s largest “sand batteries” to supply the town’s heating. The new sand battery, designed by Polar Night Energy, is effectively a huge sandbox wrapped in a steel container of about 100 x 40 feet (30 x 12 meters). The sand is heated using closed loop heat […]

Will the James Webb telescope lead us to alien life? Scientists say we’re getting closer than ever.
Imagine a planet twice as wide as Earth, covered in an ocean that smells like sweet cabbage. Every day, a faint red star warms this ocean world and the uncountable masses of hungry, plankton-like creatures that inhabit it. They rise to the surface by the billions, joining together in a living, floating continent larger than […]
Fishermen discover the first bright orange shark in the Caribbean with two unusual conditions
The first bright orange shark with white eyes was caught and released in the Caribbean, a new study reveals. The nurse shark (Glynoghtomamoma cirratum) had a mysterious condition called Xanthism or Xanthokroism, which increased yellow pigmentation in the skin. Researchers have documented zancism in several animals, which is the first definitive case of a nurse […]
Scientists develop “glue guns” where 3D prints bone grafts directly onto fractures
Researchers have changed standard adhesives to 3D to print bone-like materials directly on fractures, paving the way for use in the operating room. The devices that have been tested in rabbits so far are particularly useful in correcting irregularly shaped fractures during surgery, researchers say. “As far as I know, there is virtually no practical […]

Do you think we should stop the progression of AI before it becomes a threat to our species?
Given that its capabilities explode, there is a lot of debate about artificial intelligence (AI). From stepping on our work to questioning whether we can trust it in the first place. However, the AI used today is not the AI of the future. Scientists are increasingly convinced that they are on explicit trains to build […]
Chinese submarines explore a massive, previously unknown crater at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean – and they are full of life
Chinese researchers have discovered a huge, previously unknown hydrothermal system at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Located northeast of Papua New Guinea, the Kunlun system consists of the largest large crater, approximately 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) wide and 430 feet (130 meters) deep. These craters come together in what researchers call “pipe swarms,” which […]
