Scientists have discovered a new way to study supercell thunderstorms and their devastating tornadoes using muons, subatomic particles produced by cosmic rays. Researchers propose using a large detector to measure the atmospheric pressure within a storm, which could help understand the formation of tornadoes. This breakthrough could lead to improved forecasting and warning systems for…
Scientists are considering climate engineering as a potential solution to global warming, despite public opposition and concerns about unintended consequences. Researchers are working to fill knowledge gaps and develop strategies for deploying reflective particles into the stratosphere to cool the Earth. However, many questions remain unanswered, including how much particulate matter is needed, when and…

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery linking a gene variant to the spread of breast cancer. The PCSK9 gene, previously known for its role in cholesterol levels, has been found to drive the metastasis of breast cancer. A lab-made antibody, already approved for high cholesterol treatment, has shown promise in reducing cancer spread in mouse…
Elon Musk has made several promises for Tesla in 2024, including the development of a $25,000 EV, the start of production on the Cybercab, and the launch of a robotaxi service. However, these promises have been met with skepticism due to Musk’s history of missed deadlines and overpromising. Despite this, Tesla continues to push forward…
A recent incident in Los Angeles has raised concerns about the liability of autonomous vehicles in the event of a collision. A Waymo robotaxi and a Serve Robotics sidewalk delivery robot collided at an intersection, highlighting the need for clear guidelines on who is responsible in the case of damage. The companies involved have confirmed…
The world of medicine is on the cusp of a revolution with the development of new weight-loss drugs and breakthroughs in various fields. Eli Lilly’s oral pill orforglipron and Amgen’s maritide are set to change the game in treating obesity and diabetes.
