The second law of thermodynamics has been found to be a significant limitation in the development of more precise clocks. This fundamental principle of physics dictates that the entropy of a closed system will always increase over time, making it challenging to create clocks that can maintain their accuracy indefinitely. Researchers are now exploring alternative…
Hivello, a DePIN aggregator, has announced a significant expansion of its ecosystem by integrating the $HVLO token with the Binance Wallet application. This integration enables users to seamlessly swap and stake $HVLO directly from the Binance mobile application UI, marking a pivotal moment for the $HVLO community.

This significant funding will enable Thinking Machines Lab to train frontier AI models and potentially disrupt the AI landscape. The startup…
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has successfully demonstrated simple interstellar navigation by measuring the parallax of two nearby stars, Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359. This breakthrough technique could revolutionize navigation for future spacecraft exploring the outermost regions of the solar system and even provide navigation for the first truly interstellar missions. The team used observations from…
The United Nations is set to issue its first deep-sea mining permits, sparking concerns about the potential harm to fragile ecosystems. The International Seabed Authority has issued 31 exploration permits, but none for actual removal of ore. The Metals Company has applied for the world’s first deep-sea mining permit, citing frustration with the lack of…
Billy McFarland, the mastermind behind the infamous Fyre Festival, has sold the rights to the brand on eBay for $245,300. The festival, which was marred by a series of catastrophic failures, including stranded guests and unappetizing food, has been a topic of conversation since 2017. McFarland, who was convicted of financial crimes and served three…
Researchers in Japan have achieved a significant milestone in muon acceleration, producing a high-intensity beam of antimuons with unprecedented precision. This breakthrough could enable next-generation experiments, such as better measurements of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment, which could point to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The team’s innovative technique involves cooling antimuons down to…
bepMINER, a blockchain infrastructure company, has introduced an innovative enterprise solution that provides miners with up to 30% energy efficiency improvement and a fully transparent profit guarantee mechanism. This comes at a time when the cryptocurrency mining industry is facing unprecedented challenges, including soaring electricity costs, pressure to update equipment, and fluctuations in mining income….
Researchers have discovered that certain microbes in the human gut can absorb and store per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.” This breakthrough finding suggests that gut bacteria may play a crucial role in flushing PFAS from the body, potentially paving the way for new treatments and alternatives to these hazardous chemicals….
French AI startup Mistral has released Voxtral, its first open-source AI audio model, aiming to challenge the dominance of walled-off corporate systems. Voxtral offers an affordable alternative to existing solutions, with the ability to transcribe and understand multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, and more.
