Researchers have linked spending more time playing video games with a boost in intelligence in children, which goes some way to contradicting the narrative that gaming is bad for young minds. While the difference in cognitive abilities was a small one and isn’t enough to show a causal relationship, it is enough to be notable – and the 2022 study …

Bottom dwellers have never been more spectacular. In a tiny, high-tech submersible sunk deeper than the height of Mount Everest, scientists have discovered a flourishing ecosystem some 30,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The Chinese-led research team found spiky, bright marine worms darting through fields of crimson tubes, itself another kind of worm, poking out of the …

A groundbreaking program has now made it possible to preserve your life stories and wisdom, allowing you to speak to loved ones decades into the future.  StoryFile, an innovative AI company, has developed lifelike, interactive 3D avatars that allow people to ‘live on’ after death, sharing memories and answering questions in the same natural and conversational manner of a real …

NASA has discovered a massive gold deposit on asteroid 16 Psyche, a metallic-rich body located in the asteroid belt. This asteroid is estimated to contain $700 quintillion worth of metals, including gold, iron, and nickel, reports The Pulse. With such a colossal value, this discovery has the potential to transform humanity’s understanding of resource wealth in the cosmos, though the …

In 2019, shark tagger Keith Poe was working off the coast of California when he hooked a surprisingly big “black mako” shark. The shark appeared larger and darker than shortfin makos (Isurus paucus), which are generally dark blue or gray with white undersides. This sighting is the basis of the new Shark Week show “Black Mako of the Abyss,” where …

Asia In Brief Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory last week announced the discovery of a small body with an orbit beyond Pluto’s, and scientists think its presence means the “Planet 9” theory should be revisited. The Observatory named the body 2023 KQ14 and explained its FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy) project spotted it during 2023 using …

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that allows “self-driving laboratories” to collect at least 10 times more data than previous techniques at record speed. The advance – which is published in Nature Chemical Engineering – dramatically expedites materials discovery research, while slashing costs and environmental impact. Self-driving laboratories are robotic platforms that combine machine learning and automation with chemical and …

NASA has discovered a mysterious ‘super-Earth’ planet that appears to flash a repeated signal from 154 light-years away. The planet, named TOI-1846 b, is almost twice the size of Earth and four times as massive.  It orbits a small, cool red dwarf star every four days and causes a strange, repeated dip in the star’s light, a signal that first …

A starlight flicker recorded by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in March 2025 hinted at something intriguing. Now the signal has been traced to TOI‑1846 b, a super‑Earth lying only 154 light-years away in the northern constellation Lyra. The planet’s discovery comes from Abderahmane Soubkiou and colleagues at the Oukaimeden Observatory in Morocco, working with observers on four continents.  …
