  • In a groundbreaking 2005 experiment at Yale, researchers taught capuchin monkeys how to use tokens like currency—revealing surprising insights into primate economics. The monkeys learned to exchange tokens for food, showing behaviors like budgeting, risk-taking, and even gambling.

    But in one unplanned twist, a monkey exchanged a token for mating—a moment that sparked headlines worldwide. While isolated, it hinted at how quickly learned behaviors can extend into unexpected territory. This study revealed that economic instincts may run deeper in evolution than we ever imagined.

  • That’s not a bomb crater—it’s aluminum struck by a half-inch plastic fragment traveling at 15,000 mph, simulating a real orbital debris collision. These hypervelocity impacts demonstrate how even small objects can destroy spacecraft in low Earth orbit, where relative speeds exceed 6.7 km/s.

    That’s why space agencies like NASA and ESA design satellites with specialized shielding like the Whipple shield—a layered defense that vaporizes debris before it hits critical systems.

  • Scientists at Delix Therapeutics and UC Davis have engineered a modified LSD compound called JRT by altering just two atoms. This innovation preserves the therapeutic potential of LSD—boosting mood and cognition—while eliminating the hallucinogenic effects.

    It’s part of a new wave of “non-hallucinogenic psychedelics” that could revolutionize treatment for depression, schizophrenia, and PTSD by enhancing brain plasticity without the trip.

  • Canada’s General Fusion has just achieved a major milestone: 600 million neutrons per second using Magnetized Target Fusion. This brings us significantly closer to harnessing fusion—the same process that powers the sun—for limitless, zero-carbon electricity on Earth.

    With no radioactive waste or meltdown risk, this achievement could reshape the global energy landscape. Commercial fusion may arrive sooner than expected.

  • Chinese researchers have unveiled a laser imaging system so precise, it can reconstruct text as small as a sesame seed from 1.36 kilometers away. Using active intensity interferometry, the technology overcomes atmospheric distortion—something that stumps traditional optics—by analyzing fluctuations in bounced infrared laser beams.

    This level of detail opens doors far beyond espionage. Scientists envision applications in archaeology, wildlife tracking, space observation, and disaster response. With AI and precision laser upgrades on the way, this ‘spy’ laser might soon become one of the most powerful remote-sensing tools on Earth.

  • In a devastating turn of events, a massive landslide wiped out an entire Swiss village—vanishing it from the map in seconds. The dramatic “before and after” is a haunting reminder of nature’s raw power. Residents were evacuated just days earlier after experts detected signs of instability. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties, but the destruction is complete—and irreversible.

    This incident highlights the growing impact of climate-related geological shifts, as thawing permafrost and increased rainfall make mountainous regions more vulnerable to sudden collapses. Switzerland has since increased monitoring efforts across similar high-risk zones.

    Watch how an entire valley was erased:
