The City of the Future
This is an interesting concept and isn’t without controversy but I hope they succeed in building this. It sets a precedent if successful.
Join renowned physicist and best-selling author Professor Michio Kaku on his visit to THE LINE at #NEOM.
With him as your guide, take a tour into how our revolutionary city will tackle the traditional urban challenges of traffic, pollution and overcrowding.

Scientists are creating an artificial airglow in the sky for four days
The term artificial airglow describes the intentional augmentation or production of atmospheric airglow which is the earth’s atmosphere’s natural light emission. This phenomenon, which can be seen at different altitudes, is brought on by solar and cosmic radiation interacting with atmospheric molecules like oxygen and nitrogen. The dim, diffuse, and typically greenish light produced by artificial airglow is most noticeable at night and has long been studied for its unique celestial properties.
Four days of research and experimentation
Now, the high-frequency radio wave transmitter called the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Alaska will create the phenomenon in the sky for four days starting from Saturday in order to conduct experiments on the ionosphere, a region of our planet’s upper atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and extends from about 30 miles (50 kilometers) above the earth’s surface to several hundred miles in altitude.
NASA open to keeping ISS beyond 2030 if no viable replacements
NASA official says the ISS may not be retired in 2030 if commercial space stations are not ready.
NASA has hinted that it may extend the life of the International Space Station (ISS) beyond 2030 if there are no viable alternatives in the form of commercial space stations.
As per SpaceNews, Ken Bowersox, NASA associate administrator for space operations, said at the Beyond Earth Symposium on November 2 that the agency was flexible about the future of the ISS and would only retire it once there were new platforms to replace it.
Scientists Just Discovered a New Human Sense of Touch
A new study reveals a previously undiscovered way that we can feel light touches: directly through our hair follicles.
Before now, it was thought that only nerve endings in the skin and around the hair follicles could transmit the sensation.
The team behind the study, led by researchers from Imperial College London in the UK, used an RNA sequencing process to find that cells in part of the hair follicle called the outer root sheath (ORS) had a higher percentage of touch-sensitive receptors than equivalent cells in the skin.
Scientists identify progenitor cells that could revolutionize osteoarthritis treatment
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers report that osteoarthritis (OA) is caused by the loss of Gremlin 1 (Grem1)-lineage chondrogenic progenitor (CP) cells.

Giant Pyramid Buried in Indonesia Could Be The Oldest in The World
A giant underground pyramid hidden beneath a hillside in Indonesia far outdates Stonehenge or the Giza Pyramids and may come to rival the oldest megalithic structures ever built by human hands.
Remember the name Gunung Padang.
The exceptional hillside of ancient stone structures on the island of West Java is sacred to locals, who call this kind of structure a ‘punden berundak’, meaning stepped pyramid, for the terraces that lead to its peak.
