Google Blocked 5.1B Harmful Ads and Suspended 39.2M Advertiser Accounts in 2024
Google on Wednesday revealed that it suspended over 39.2 million advertiser accounts in 2024, with a majority of them identified and blocked by its systems before it could serve harmful ads to users.
In all, the tech giant said it stopped 5.1 billion bad ads, restricted 9.1 billion ads, and blocked or restricted ads on 1.3 billion pages last year. It also suspended over 5 million accounts for scam-related violations.
In comparison, Google suspended over 12.7 million advertiser accounts, stopped 5.5 billion bad ads, restricted 6.9 billion ads, and blocked or restricted ads on 2.1 billion pages in 2023.
Scientists Successfully Revived Brain Tissue from Suspended Animation
Tissue from other organs, such as rat hearts and livers, has also been successfully cryopreserved and revived before. Whether this could eventually translate to putting an entire organ—or even an entire organism—in a state of suspended animation requires future research. Some animals produce their own cryoprotectants as they transition to a state of torpor to avoid harsh winters. This is something else scientists could learn from in the pursuit of artificial suspended animation. Alien and Foundation are onto something. Putting humans into a state of suspended animation during spaceflight would drastically reduce the risk of tissue damage caused by microgravity and extreme radiation. No one is trekking to Mars—at least not yet—so we still have time. But even just the thought is no less tantalizing.

3D dynamic model offers more accurate hazard assessments for earthquakes
An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment has advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes.
Using data for the Turkey earthquake of February 2023, the scientists have developed a detailed 3D dynamic model that provides a more accurate understanding of the strong shaking during this earthquake and hence information for future seismic hazard assessments. The research was led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Professor Martin Mai and scientist Bo Li.
The Turkey earthquake was responsible for the death of tens of thousands of people. It was marked by a doublet, which describes two major earthquakes separated by a short time. The first rupture fractured a long stretch of the fault approximately 350 km long, breaking different sections in succession. Just hours later, a second massive rupture followed, amplifying the destruction. Doublets do not show typical aftershock behavior and are a challenge to mathematically describe.
