The Terrell-Penrose effect states that the relativistic Lorentz contraction of fast-moving objects cannot be seen in a photograph, but it has never been verified due to the requirement of relativistic speeds of the moving object. Using femtosecond laser pulses and ultrafast photography, and virtually reducing the speed of light, the authors demonstrate the accuracy of this statement.

Matter with “forbidden” symmetries was once thought to be confined to lab experiments, but is now being found in some of the world’s most extreme environments

Active exploitation targets 7-Zip CVE-2025–11001; patch 25.00 fixes symbolic link RCE flaws.

Global Operation WrtHug exploits multiple ASUS WRT flaws to hijack tens of thousands of EoL routers.

Google’s Gemini 3 is finally here, and we’re impressed with the results, but it still does not adhere to my requests as well as Claude Code.

A critical flaw in the W3 Total Cache (W3TC) WordPress plugin can be exploited to run PHP commands on the server by posting a comment that contains a malicious payload.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025–9501, affects all versions of the W3TC plugin prior to 2.8.13 and is described as an unauthenticated command injection.

W3TC is installed on more than one million websites to increase performance and reduce load times.

Scientists have discovered a 900 metre wide impact crater in southern China, the largest modern meteorite scar on Earth. The Jinlin crater triples the size of the previous record holder and suggests that recent extraterrestrial impacts have been far more dramatic than anyone realised.

We’re releasing Gemini 3, our most intelligent model that helps you bring any idea to life. It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding and our most powerful agentic and vibe coding model yet — all built on a foundation of state-of-the-art reasoning.
