Working from home has many of us wondering how we can make this new experience more comfortable and accommodating. lately we’ve seen brands like established & sons collaborate with french designers erwan and ronan bouroullec to create flexible pieces of furniture that really work for these changing times. but this new chair got us both excited and confused as we can’t decide if it’s genius or just borderline crazy. developed by cluvens, the cluvens IW-SK zero-gravity esports gaming chair boast a scorpion shape that cocoons you — if that’s what you like.

We humans have a wonderful ability to keep developing, innovating, and engineering bigger, better, and faster contraptions. Close to Earth, we’ve been soaring through the skies in airplanes since 1903 thanks to the Wright brothers, and we’ve been launching spacecraft into space since 1957 when the Soviet Union rocketed the Sputnik satellite above our heads.

The team discovered a way of stabilizing detonation for hypersonic propulsion by creating a hypersonic reaction chamber for jet propulsions.

Individuals with newly-diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AFib), or an irregular heart rhythm, may have a modestly elevated risk of developing dementia, a new study indicates.

If there is a social media phenomenon getting some kind of popularity, Meta will try and jump in. We have seen the company copy different kinds of formats ranging from Stories to short videos after seeing the success of other platforms. Now, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company is working on a decentralized text-based app.

Meta confirmed this development in a statement but didn’t give out details about when it plans to release the app.

“We’re exploring a standalone decentralized social network for sharing text updates. We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests,” a Meta spokesperson said.

A Norwegian Greentech company has recently unveiled its new 1,000-foot (324m) tall, floating wind turbine array. Called “Wind Catcher”, this innovation in renewable energy generation could be used to power as many as 80,000 homes.

The system has been developed by the Norwegian-based Wind Catching Systems (WCS), who declare that their new wind turbine setup could generate five times the annual energy of the world’s biggest standalone wind turbines. Not only that, but if scaled, it could reduce the costs of wind energy to be competitive with traditional grid-supplied electricity.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have developed a new drug that works against all of the main types of primary bone cancer.

Cancer that starts in the bones, rather than cancer that has spread to the bones, predominantly affects children.

Current treatment is grueling, with outdated chemotherapy cocktails and limb amputation.

Supposedly bouncing around out of 4C and in hacker forums.

Meta’s leaked AI language model could be a big deal.
