Physicists Propose First-Ever Experiment To Manipulate Gravitational Waves

When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational waves. These ripples move through the universe at the speed of light and create extremely small changes in the structure of space-time. Their existence was first predicted by Albert Einstein, and scientists confirmed them experimentally for the first time in 2015.

Building on this discovery, Prof. Ralf Schützhold, a theoretical physicist at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), is proposing a bold new step.

Schützhold has developed a concept for an experiment that would go beyond detecting gravitational waves and instead allow researchers to influence them. The proposal, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, could also help clarify whether gravity follows quantum rules, a question that remains unresolved in modern physics.

Scientists Identify Promising New Magnetic Material for the AI Era

A newly validated magnetic state could open a path toward ultra-fast, high-density memory for future AI and data-center technologies. A collaborative team of researchers from NIMS, the University of Tokyo, Kyoto Institute of Technology, and Tohoku University has shown that thin films of ruthenium

Alaska’s Arctic Is Burning Like Never Before in 3,000 Years

Wildfires across Alaska’s North Slope have been more frequent over the last century than at any point in the previous 3,000 years, according to new research published in the journal Biogeosciences.

The work was carried out in Arctic Alaska by an international group of scientists representing institutions in Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, Romania, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Toolik Field Station.

Angelica Feurdean, the study’s lead author and a senior researcher at Goethe University in Germany, explained that the team combined multiple scientific methods to piece together a long-term record of fire activity. The results suggest that the recent surge in wildfires is linked to expanding woody vegetation and increasingly dry soils, both of which are associated with rising temperatures.

New Pill Could Finally Treat Sleep Apnea Without a Mask

Sulthiame reduced breathing interruptions in sleep apnea patients, pointing toward a viable drug treatment. A European clinical trial has found that the drug sulthiame can reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality in people with obstructive sleep apnea, with researchers from the Universit

ThreatsDay Bulletin: WhatsApp Hijacks, MCP Leaks, AI Recon, React2Shell Exploit and 15 More Stories

This week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin tracks how attackers keep reshaping old tools and finding new angles in familiar systems. Small changes in tactics are stacking up fast, and each one hints at where the next big breach could come from.

From shifting infrastructures to clever social hooks, the week’s activity shows just how fluid the threat landscape has become.

Here’s the full rundown of what moved in the cyber world this week.
