Kabul could be the first modern capital to run out of water – why
Recent reports show that Kabul, Afghanistan, is at risk of becoming the first modern capital to run out of water. Kabul is depleted due to a combination of factors, including climate change, poor water resource management, rapid urbanization, and an expander population of around 5-6 million people. Humanitarian NGO Mercy Corps discovered that in April […]
The Earth is beginning to rotate faster – and scientists are considering doing something unprecedented
The Earth spins so fast that the world’s timekeepers are considering something that has never been done before. So far, July 9th and July 22nd have been unusually shorter. It is approximately 1.3 and 1.4 milliseconds, respectively. However, according to TimeanDate.com, August 5 is expected to be even shorter, losing about 1.5 milliseconds. This follows […]
The exoplanet of destiny gets caught up in a “death spiral” around its star. Can you survive?
Confined to a spiral of death around that star, the giant planet was able to unleash some of the secrets surrounding the star system. However, the fate of this world is not yet set in stone, and two people’s deaths and one person’s “rebirth” are possible in the future. The extsolar planet or “exoplanet” in […]
AI can quickly think in ways that we don’t understand, increasing the risk of inconsistencies. Google, Meta and Openai scientists warn
Researchers behind some of the most advanced AIs on the planet have warned that the systems they helped create can pose risks to humanity. Researchers working for companies including Google Deepmind, Openai, Meta, Anthropic and others argue that lack of oversight on AI reasoning and decision-making processes can lead to miss signs of malignant behavior.

Scientists find Uranus is surprisingly warm and energizing the case for the mission of a new planet
Scientists have discovered that Uranus emits even more internal heat than it receives from sunlight. This discovery contradicts the observation of a distant gas giant created by NASA’s Voyager 2 probe nearly 40 years ago. Scientists led by XINYUE YANG at the University of Houston analyzed decades of measurements from spacecraft and computer models and […]
Archaeologists use 3D technology to “develop” bronze armor from the Trojan War era
Archaeologists analyzing fragments of bronze recovered near Brno, the Czech Republic, made an astonishing discovery. This is the second time an ancient bronze armor has been discovered in this country. In 2023, the metal detector reported finding a cache of objects containing the head, sickle, needles and several copper fragments. According to a translated statement […]
Scientists scan the “Earthrise” crater famous for missions to find alien life in our solar system
The lunar crater, immortalized in one of the most famous photos ever taken, played an important role in the hunt for alien life in our solar system. With nearly 25 miles (40 kilometers) above the moon, the lunar impact crater, formerly known as the “Pasteur T,” may be the most viewed lunar crater in history. […]
This robot “cannibal” can consume other small robots – see it grows bigger and stronger
Robots that grow by consuming other robots – YouTube Please take a look Scientists have created prototype robots that can grow, heal and improve by integrating materials from the environment or “consuming” other robots. Researchers say it is a major step in developing robot autonomy. The researchers coined the term “robotic metabolism” and described the […]
Bad news for alien life? Earth-sized planets may not be as common as we thought
Discovered by astronomers, the worlds of up to 200 beyond our solar system are larger than estimates and can affect searches of extraterrestrial life. It is the theory of a team of researchers who have seen hundreds of foreign ordinate planets, or skin-drain planets, observed by NASA’s transit exoplanet survey satellites (TESS). Tess hunts deplanets […]
