As nations and tech giants escalate what some call the next space race, China is pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence by bringing powerful computing infrastructure into low Earth orbit, reshaping how AI might operate beyond our planet. This bold effort includes launching satellites equipped with AI processors and pioneering space-based supercomputers that could transform ...
Most of us grow up with a simple story about intelligence: humans sit at the top, and animals are somewhere way below, just running on instinct. Then you see a crow solving a puzzle that would stump a tired adult, or a dog reading your mood better than your closest friend, and that story ...
There is a quiet, high-stakes race unfolding above our heads, and it has nothing to do with flags or footprints. It is about a ghost-like fuel, scattered in moon dust, that some scientists believe could power clean fusion reactors on Earth and reshape the global energy map. That fuel is helium-3, and if even ...
If you’ve ever stared up at the night sky and felt tiny, here’s something that might make you feel even smaller: some of those distant stars are literally eating planets. Not in a science-fiction, laser-beam kind of way, but in a slow, cosmic swallowing that turns whole worlds into stardust. It sounds dramatic, but ...
Earth is old enough to feel almost familiar, like a well‑worn neighborhood we think we know by heart. Yet beneath our feet is a planet full of strange scars, impossible patterns, and wild events that even the best geologists still can’t fully explain. For every neat textbook diagram, there’s a mystery that refuses to ...
There is something quietly shocking about realizing your brain is not a fixed machine, but more like wet clay that never fully dries. For a long time, many scientists believed that once you reached adulthood, your brain’s wiring was more or less set in stone, slowly declining with age. Now, in study after study, ...
If you’ve ever stopped mid‑scroll because a sunset looked unreal or a rainbow suddenly appeared over a parking lot, you already know this: ordinary life is absolutely packed with tiny miracles. The wild part is that most of these “magical” moments have rock‑solid science behind them, and the truth is usually stranger and more ...
There’s a quiet revolution happening in grief, and it doesn’t involve therapists’ couches or self-help books. It’s happening on phones and laptops, where people are uploading old voice notes, text messages, and social media posts to train AI chatbots that speak back as if they were their dead parents, partners, or friends. The idea ...
If someone told you that changing what happens in your head could add years to your life, would you believe them? It sounds almost too simple, but a growing wave of research over the last couple of decades keeps coming back to the same idea: your mindset quietly shapes your health in the background, ...
Picture this: a small blue world hanging in the dark, home to billions of noisy, creative, stubborn humans… and absolutely all of our eggs are in this one cosmic basket. It’s a thrilling and slightly terrifying thought. One asteroid, one runaway climate tipping point, one really bad global decision, and the only place we’ve ...
