A common fern species is doing something remarkable – pulling rare earth elements from soil and forming them into valuable crystals. This discovery could dramatically reduce our reliance on destructive mining practices for critical tech materials.
The White House has paused a proposed executive order that would have blocked states from enacting their own AI regulations. This comes after the Senate voted down a similar measure earlier this year by a staggering 99-1 count.
Researchers have identified a “death complex” of proteins that appears to drive Alzheimer’s progression. A new molecule called FP802 successfully broke this complex apart in mouse models, preserving cognitive function and reducing amyloid buildup. This represents a fundamentally different approach t
Australia is expanding its unprecedented social media ban to include Twitch, making it the latest platform blocked for users under 16. The ban already covers Facebook, X, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. Platforms face steep penalties if they fail to implement age verification measures.

IO Interactive’s CEO says GTA 6 moving to November 2026 gives their James Bond game breathing room. He believes the blockbuster could revitalize the entire gaming industry by bringing back lapsed players.
A New Zealand hacker conference built their own air quality monitoring system using Adafruit components to track CO2 levels across their venue. The DIY solution gave attendees real-time data about virus transmission risks during a measles outbreak. It’s a brilliant example of hackers solving public
Google’s Gemini app now features interactive science diagrams that students can click through to explore complex concepts. The update also includes better AI image detection and generation capabilities. This transforms passive learning into active exploration across biology, physics, chemistry and m
Researchers have successfully teleported quantum information between photons from separate quantum dots using standard optical fiber. This breakthrough demonstrates a key building block for future quantum communication networks that could revolutionize secure data transmission.
