With the discovery of yet another sense, this time in our guts, we’re starting to lose count.

The system is the first ever fully passive megawatt-hour scale battery storage system, and the first grid-scale sodium-ion storage solution ever deployed to the U.S. electric grid.

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create and the enhanced properties those creations will display. Want a stent that is biocompatible and mechanically robust? How about strong but lightweight satellite components that can operate in space for decades?

A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a research team including Andriy Nevidomskyy, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. Their findings, published in Science, detail how uranium ditelluride (UTe2) develops a superconducting halo under strong magnetic fields.

Hackers used fake Microsoft OAuth apps to target 3,000+ accounts across 900 environments in 2025.

(CLT) is a subcategory of engineered wood panel product made from gluing together at least three layers of solid-sawn lumber at angles to each other. ^{[ 1 ] [ 2 ]} It is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker laminations (or lamellae).

We report on observations of single spike spectra (3–13% of events) upon employing a previously proposed method for single spike generation via harmonic conversion. The method was tested at the soft X-ray SASE3 undulator of the European XFEL. The first part of the undulator allows one to amplify bunching at the fundamental as well as the higher harmonics. The downstream undulator is tuned to a harmonic, the fourth in our case, to amplify pulses with a shorter duration. We estimate the generated pulse duration within such a subset of short pulses at a level of 650 as. Considering the demonstrated probability of single spike events, this method is attractive for high repetition-rate free electron lasers.

His findings launched books including, The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer: Lessons From the Healthiest Places on Earth, worldwide interest in these hot spots, and even a Netflix series, “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones.”

So where are these “blue zones,” what makes them so healthy, and what can we learn from them even if we don’t live anywhere near one? Here’s everything to know about blue zones.

Buettner’s research has led him to identify five regions he’s dubbed “blue zones.” These are “demographically confirmed, geographically defined” areas in the world where people are living to 100 at extraordinary rates— 10 times greater than in the United States.
