The security of applications is not just a technical issue but a cornerstone of business integrity and continuity.
Tiny bubbles trapped in ancient Antarctic ice have revealed surges in global wildfire coinciding with signs of abrupt climate change.
Quantum mechanics has long classified particles into just two distinct types: fermions and bosons.
Now physicists from Rice University in the US have found a third type might be possible after all, at least mathematically speaking. Known as a paraparticles, their behavior could imply the existence of elementary particles nobody has ever considered.
“We determined that new types of particles we never knew of before are possible,” says Kaden Hazzard, who with co-author Zhiyuan Wang formulated a theory to demonstrate how objects that weren’t fermions or bosons could exist in physical reality without breaking any known laws.
Saber teeth – the long, sharp, blade-like canines found in extinct predators such as Smilodon – represent one of the most extreme dental adaptations in nature.
They evolved at least five times throughout mammalian history and are a classic example of convergence, which is when similar structures evolve independently in unrelated animal groups.

Blockchain technology offers a solution to this issue by storing all your documents and identification records on a network. The tech can theoretically ensure such documents are securely stored, easily accessible, and protected from unauthorized alterations.
Blockchain has already been used for identification in real-world scenarios. For example, during the Syrian refugee crisis, blockchain technology was used to record the identities of refugees securely. It also facilitated the management of financial aid and grocery purchases, enabling refugees to access necessary resources without any hurdles.
A New Phenomenon in Markarian 817
Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole in the galaxy Markarian 817 (Mrk 817), located 430 million light-years away in the constellation Draco, unleashing ultra-fast winds that are disrupting its host galaxy. Detected using ESA’s XMM-Newton space telescope, this discovery marks the first instance of such winds emerging from a moderately feeding black hole, defying previous expectations.
Are you curious to learn more about the most diverse organisms on Earth? When it comes to fungi, there are three things you need to remember: they’re big and incredibly old, and some of them can turn ants into zombies!
To say that they’re the most popular kingdom on the planet would be an understatement. There are an estimated 3.8 million fungi all over the world, and yet, over 90% of them are currently unknown to science.
Moreover, you might be shocked to learn that the mushroom kingdom can be quite animalistic. After all, they breathe like us, and some of them even eat flesh. But there’s so much more to know, so let’s dive together into the complex world of fungi!
That’s the word from a new set of predictions for the decade ahead issued by Accenture, which highlights how our future is being shaped by AI-powered autonomy. By 2030, agents — not people — will be the “primary users of most enterprises’ internal digital systems,” the study’s co-authors state. By 2032, “interacting with agents surpasses apps in average consumer time spent on smart devices.”

This heralds a moment of transition, what the report’s primary author, Accenture CTO Karthik Narain, calls the Binary Big Bang. “When foundation models cracked the natural language barrier,” writes Narain, “they kickstarted a shift in our technology systems: how we design them, use them, and how they operate.”
Sky gazers will get a peek at what has been called a “parade of planets,” where this time around, up to seven planets may appear to line up.
Australia has made history with its very ambitious SunCable project, which promises to change the face of renewable energy around the globe. It entails the export of solar energy towards Singapore via a 4,300 km underwater cable, marking Australia’s transition to sustainable power from fossil fuels.
It is indeed very exciting development in renewable energy which is the SunCable project. At its heart is an intended most gigantic solar and battery park in the world, to be built near Tennant Creek in northern Australia, at an estimated cost of $35 billion.
This will supply green energy to Singapore, with the potential of contributing 6 GW towards 15% of its electricity needs, connected by the world’s longest underwater cable – a technological marvel six times the length of any existing cable.
