Researchers Create 1-Kilometer-Scale Digital Earth

Tech, Wearables /

Weather forecasting has always been unpredictable — and climate modeling even more so. However, advances in modeling techniques and computing power have greatly improved our ability to anticipate nature’s behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute unveil a near–kilometer-scale model combining weather and climate simulation. A Near–Kilometer-Scale Model of Earth’s Systems The model’s resolution is […]

AI-Enabled Technology Can Autonomously Tackle Oil Fires on Ships

Automotive, Engineering, Mechanical /

Engineers have developed a next-generation, domestically made fire suppression system that autonomously detects oil fires on naval ships and accurately extinguishes them, even in challenging maritime conditions. AI independently verifies the presence of a fire and activates the system only when a real fire is detected. It directs its extinguishing agent precisely at the fire

Affordable Materials Turn Waste Carbon into High-Energy Compounds

Carbon Capture, Material & Energy /

Converting waste carbon into valuable products is essential for sustainable manufacturing. We can recycle carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and then convert it into energy-dense compounds using electricity. However, current systems rely on anion exchange membranes that degrade over time when exposed to organic substances, reducing their overall efficiency. Low-Cost Diaphragms Offer Efficient Alternative for

Study Shows Horror Movies May Reduce Stress and Enhance Well-Being

Entertainment, Film & Video /

Neuropsychologist and study author Kristen Knowles explains that horror films trigger the release of relaxation-related chemicals like dopamine and endorphins. This response creates sensations of pleasure and ease, which, according to the research, can help reduce the perception of pain. The expert notes that, beyond the effects of pain-relieving hormones, horror films also work by

Studies Show Husbands Stress Women more than Children

Medical Care, Medicine /

Raising a child is anything but easy, particularly during the early years when parents encounter ongoing challenges. However, a survey by the American website Today.com found that for many women, their husbands—not their children—are the primary source of stress. Among the 7,000 mothers surveyed, the average stress level was 8.5 out of 10. Notably, 46%

What is the Domain Name System? An Engineer Explains

Computer & Electronics, Tech /

During the Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20, 2025, millions of users were unable to access familiar websites and apps. The servers themselves weren’t offline; the issue was deeper—their names couldn’t be resolved. The culprit was DNS, or the Domain Name System, often described as the internet’s phone book. Every device online has

NASA Unveils Photos Depicting Two Supermassive Black Holes Coming Together

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

In a newly released image from NASA, the galaxy known as NGC 6240 features two supermassive black holes currently merging. The image combines fresh X-ray data from the Chandra Observatory (displayed in red, orange, and yellow) with an optical image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, first published in 2008. The two merging black holes,

Bat-Inspired Drones Could Aid Rescues in Storms and Darkness

Drones, Transportation & Automation /

Don’t be misled by the fog, eerie lights, or fake bats—Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s robotics lab isn’t throwing a Halloween party. Instead, the lab serves as a testing site for miniature drones designed to carry out search and rescue operations in dark, smoky, or stormy environments. “We know that during earthquakes or tsunamis, power lines often
