Mars probe narrows down the exact path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by a factor of 10, surprising scientists
Researchers have narrowed down the exact route that the interstellar interloper 3I/ATLAS will take as it begins its one-way journey from our solar system. Thanks to data collected from this alien comet’s recent close encounter with Mars, scientists at the European Space Agency (ESA) have refined the comet’s orbit tenfold. And this could further help […]

‘Nothing but a nightmare’: A worker ant is tricked by a fake queen into killing his mother – and quickly seizes the throne
Invading parasitic ant queens trick workers in various colonies into killing and dismembering their own mothers, allowing the invaders to intervene and usurp the throne, according to a new study. The parasite appears to invade the colony and spray the reigning queen with formic acid. “The queen’s odor is erased by formic acid, instantly turning […]
PowerLattice attracts investment from former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger for power-saving chiplets
If you pay attention to what major technology companies are saying about the demand for AI, you’ll notice a common thread: a lack of computing power. This means that the large language models that power today’s AI products require more data centers for training and inference, and therefore more power. Against this backdrop, energy efficiency […]
The gulf separating Africa and Asia continues to pull them apart 5 million years after scientists thought they had stopped.
Researchers have found that the Gulf of Suez, which partially separates Africa and Asia, may still be expanding. Starting about 28 million years ago, the Arabian Plate separated from the African Plate, opening up what is today the Gulf of Suez. This type of rift would lead to the birth of a new ocean, but […]
