Parts of your brain slip into sleep mode for split seconds during boring tasks. In ADHD brains, these 'flickers' are far more frequent.

Experts say Telegram could bypass any blockade with mesh networking — Bluetooth and Wi-Fi instead of servers. The technology, real tests, hard limits.

BYD's second-gen Blade battery charges 10-97% in 9 minutes on a 1500 kW station — and it's already in production across 10 vehicle models.

The world's first megawatt-scale ADS reactor launches in Huizhou, 2027 — designed to shrink nuclear waste danger from 100,000 years to under 300.

OpenAI's model conjectured a formula for gluon amplitudes assumed zero since 1986. Physicists from Harvard and Cambridge confirmed it was right.

Two physicists showed how quantum superposition and clever filtering make gravity push instead of pull. No new physics needed — just quantum weirdness.

Stanford trained a neural network on 585,000 hours of sleep data. It detects Parkinson's, dementia, and cancer years before symptoms appear.

2,500 questions no AI can Google. GPT-4o scored 2.7%, humans hit 90%. Inside the hardest AI benchmark and its 30% error rate.

Gut bacteria from sleep-deprived mice triggered Alzheimer's-like tau damage in healthy brains. Scientists traced the full molecular chain.

A 20-year study of 70,000+ blood samples shows bicarbonate rising in lockstep with atmospheric CO₂ — set to breach safe limits by 2076.
