Chinese Scientists Develop Breakthrough Catalyst for Clean Propane Conversion

Scientists have pioneered a water- and light-driven method for converting propane at near-room temperature, opening the door to sustainable, low-energy catalysis. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a chemical process that requires a large input of heat, typically needing temperatures above 600°C wh

Astronomers Stunned As Mysterious Flare Repeats From Same Black Hole Two Years Later

A new discovery challenges the previously accepted understanding of how stars interact with black holes. While it’s often said that lightning never strikes the same place twice, black holes seem to defy that rule. A team of astronomers, led by researchers from Tel Aviv University, has observed a

Light Versus Light: The Secret Physics Battle That Could Rewrite the Rules

In a fascinating dive into the strange world of quantum physics, scientists have shown that light can interact with itself in bizarre ways—creating ghost-like virtual particles that pop in and out of existence.

This “light-on-light scattering” isn’t just a theoretical curiosity; it could hold the key to solving long-standing mysteries in particle physics.

Quantum light: why lasers don’t clash like lightsabers.

Microsoft Edge now an ‘AI-powered browser’ with Copilot Mode

Microsoft has introduced Copilot Mode, an experimental feature designed to transform Microsoft Edge into a web browser powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

As the company explained on Monday, this new mode transforms Edge’s interface, with new tabs showing a single input box that combines chat, search, and web navigation functions.

Once Copilot Mode is enabled, the AI assistant will be able to analyze all open browser tabs with the user’s permission, comparing information and assisting with various tasks, such as researching vacation rentals.

Longevity vs. Cryonics Debate | Karl Pfleger & Emil Kendziorra

Watch a longevity expert and cryonics expert make the case for their approach to life extension. Emil Kendziorra and Karl Pfleger debate longevity escape velocity timelines, which approach would have greater return from research funding, and more at this live debate from the Biostasis Conference at Vitalist Bay.
