As Elon Musk’s X faces a decline in daily active users, many are abandoning the platform in favor of alternatives like Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. With the rise of social media fatigue, users are seeking more control over their online presence and data. This shift has sparked a wave of account deletions and data downloads,…
A recent survey of Nature readers reveals a significant shift towards the social media platform Bluesky, with 70% of respondents using the platform. This surge in popularity is attributed to Bluesky’s more civil and informed conversations, as well as its lack of toxicity and misinformation. The platform’s user base has grown to over 27 million,…
The world of cryptocurrency has witnessed a significant shift with the rise of cloud mining, a concept that simplifies the process of mining cryptocurrencies without requiring expensive hardware or technical expertise. AEON MINING, a leading brand in cloud mining, has taken this concept to the next level by offering a user-friendly interface, high profitability levels,…
Scientists have discovered evidence that rivers may have operated on a global scale around 3.5 billion years ago, providing the earliest known chemical evidence for the weathering of Earth’s continents and the delivery of nutrients from land to ocean. This finding pushes back the emergence of continental landmasses by about a billion years, giving insight…
Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has emerged as a potential challenger to U.S. AI companies, demonstrating breakthrough models that claim to offer performance comparable to leading offerings at a fraction of the cost. The company’s mobile app has topped the App Store charts, but doubts remain about the validity of its claims. Wall Street analysts are…
Researchers from Harbin Institute of Technology in China have developed a new approach to oil cleanup using a vortex-anchored filter (VAF) inspired by the anatomy of a deep-sea glass sponge. The VAF exhibits high mass transfer and hydrodynamic stability in cleaning up oil spills under turbulent flow, capturing more than 97% of floating, underwater, and…
CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory, has introduced financial incentives for academic publishers to adopt open science policies. The initiative, part of the Open Science Mechanism, will score publishers based on their adoption of open-science practices, such as public peer review and data linking.
