Scientists in Japan have created a tiny device no bigger than a matchbox that can pull electricity directly from the air.

It doesn’t need sunlight, wind, or motion—just the invisible water molecules in the atmosphere. Inside, a network of nanomaterials attracts ions from the air, generating a steady electric current. Early tests showed a single unit could power small sensors nonstop, proving the atmosphere itself can serve as a constant energy source.

Unlike solar or wind, this technology works in darkness, silence, and stillness. No turbines, panels, batteries, or emissions—just air.

Researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology believe scaling this system could transform how remote areas, homes, and disaster zones are powered. Instead of drawing energy from the planet, we could harness it from the space around us—a future of energy built on connection, not consumption.

Fun fact: even deserts contain enough microscopic water molecules for this technology to generate power. The same air we breathe might one day light the world.

The brightest moon of the year is almost here!

On November 5, 2025, the Beaver Supermoon will light up the sky as the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. This happens when the full moon is at its closest point to Earth, called perigee, making it appear up to 30% brighter and noticeably larger than usual.

Just after sunset, look to the eastern horizon as it rises, glowing deep gold before turning silver in the night. For a few hours, the world below will feel quieter and more connected under its light, from oceans to cities to mountains.

Astronomers say events like this are a reminder of how perfectly timed the universe can be, and how something so familiar can still feel extraordinary.

A single night. A familiar moon. A reminder that wonder never really fades.

Just forty light years from us, astronomers have spotted a planet that could be a true Earth-like neighbor. Nearly identical in size to our own world, it orbits a calm red dwarf star and sits comfortably in the habitable zone — the region where liquid water, and possibly life, could exist.

Called Gliese 12 b, this planet circles a star that burns cooler and far longer than the sun, offering a stable environment where life would have billions of years to develop.

Early data points to a rocky surface and a steady orbit, making it one of the most compelling Earth-sized candidates discovered so far. The James Webb Space Telescope is now examining its light, searching for clues of an atmosphere — the kind that might hint at water, or even life.

If signs of water are found, it could mean our world isn’t unique — that the universe has created another place where life might take hold.

Somewhere in that distant darkness, another sunrise could already be rising.

On March 6, 1990, the SR-71 Blackbird closed out its legendary career with a final flight that made history. The aircraft tore across the country from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in just 64 minutes — averaging an incredible 2,124 mph. That coast-to-coast speed record still hasn’t been broken.

A disturbing environmental crisis has unfolded in the Amazon, where extreme heat has turned sections of freshwater lakes into deadly hot zones.

In Brazil’s Lake Tefé, water temperatures climbed to around 39°C (102°F) — comparable to a hot tub — leading to the deaths of more than 150 river dolphins.
Among them were the endangered Amazon pink river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) and the gray dolphin (Sotalia fluviatilis).

This mass die-off coincided with a historic drought and an intense heatwave across the Amazon basin, driven by a mix of El Niño and accelerating climate change.

According to researchers at the Mamirauá Institute for Sustainable Development, the rapid spike in water temperature created conditions these animals simply couldn’t survive. Dolphins depend on cooler, oxygen-rich water, and when oxygen levels fell while temperatures rose, they died in large numbers.

Experts warn that this may be a preview of how climate change could reshape Amazonian biodiversity in the years ahead.
The pink river dolphin is already listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List, and events like this could push the species even closer to extinction.

Data from Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and global climate studies reinforce the seriousness of the environmental stress affecting the region.
Scientists caution that continued deforestation, prolonged drought periods, and rising temperatures threaten not only aquatic wildlife but the entire rainforest ecosystem — a crucial regulator of global climate and carbon balance.

A major medical breakthrough at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney is shining new light on MRI-guided cryoablation — a minimally invasive technique that uses extreme cold to destroy tumors in the spine and pelvis, all while doctors monitor the process in real time using MRI imaging.

This approach allows specialists to freeze tumors with remarkable precision, helping protect nearby nerves and healthy tissue. It has become especially valuable for patients dealing with severe, cancer-related pain when other treatment options have stopped working.

Supported by the Sydney Local Health District and the University of Sydney, this procedure is among the first of its kind offered in the Southern Hemisphere.

Patients who’ve received MRI-guided cryoablation are already reporting strong and long-lasting pain relief. Clinical research from Australian teams — backed by trial data from similar treatments in North America and Europe — shows that this method can greatly improve quality of life for people with difficult-to-treat tumors.

This advancement represents a major step forward in combining imaging and therapy to deliver more targeted, personalized, and non-surgical cancer care.

Japan has unveiled its first underwater sculpture, Ocean Gaia, on October 14, 2025, just off Tokunoshima Island in the Amami archipelago.
The artwork was created by British sculptor and environmental artist Jason deCaires Taylor and portrays the peaceful face of Japanese-American model Kiko Mizuhara.

Weighing more than 45 tons and stretching 5.5 meters wide, the sculpture rests only 5 meters below the surface, making it an easy and stunning sight for both divers and snorkelers.

Taylor, known for his ecological installations that transform into thriving artificial reefs, continues this mission with Ocean Gaia. Built from pH-neutral, marine-safe materials, the piece is designed to naturally foster coral growth and support marine life.

This project reflects Tokunoshima’s long-standing reputation for longevity and its exceptional ocean environment. Symbolizing renewal, motherhood, and humanity’s bond with nature, the sculpture aims to inspire ocean conservation while offering a powerful new cultural landmark beneath the waves.

Scientists Say They’ve Cracked a Classic Riddle 🚨
Researchers have pinpointed a special protein called ovocleidin-17, found only in chickens, that kick-starts the rapid crystallization of calcium carbonate needed to create strong eggshells. Without OC17, the modern eggshell wouldn’t form—suggesting that the chicken had to exist before the egg in evolutionary history.

Belinda Jane Emmett was one of Australia’s brightest young talents — an actress and singer whose warmth, skill, and courage touched the entire country.

Born on April 12, 1974, in Sydney, Belinda grew up in a creative family and showed a natural gift for performing.
By her early twenties, she had become a familiar face on Australian television, appearing in major shows such as:

“Hey Dad..!” as Rebecca “Bec” Healy

“Home and Away” as Rebecca Fisher

“All Saints” as Zoe Gallagher

Audiences loved her genuineness, her talent, and the life she brought to every role. She also pursued music, performing and releasing her own work.

But in 1998, at just 24, everything changed.
Belinda was diagnosed with breast cancer — a rare and aggressive diagnosis for someone so young. She underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, facing the ordeal with incredible strength. Despite the grueling treatment, she continued working and spoke openly about cancer, helping others feel less alone.

For a time, Belinda went into remission. She returned to her career and embraced life fully.

During this period, she met television host Rove McManus. Their relationship quickly grew into a deep, supportive partnership. They married in 2005, and Australians admired the love and resilience they shared.

But in 2001, Belinda’s cancer returned, this time spreading further. She continued living, creating, and cherishing time with family and friends, even as her health worsened. Her grace during these years left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her story.

By 2006, Belinda’s condition had advanced. Surrounded by loved ones, she passed away on November 11, 2006, at the age of 32.

The country mourned deeply. Tributes from colleagues, friends, and fans poured in, honoring her talent, her spirit, and her bravery. Rove stepped away from his show to grieve, later thanking the public for their compassion.

Belinda’s legacy lives on through her work, her impact on cancer awareness, and the Belinda Emmett Research Fund, created in her honor to support cancer research.

She is remembered as a gifted actress, a beautiful singer, a devoted wife and daughter, and a woman whose courage inspired countless Australians.
Her life was short, but it shone brightly — a reminder that some stars burn brilliantly enough to be remembered forever.

Belinda Jane Emmett (1974–2006)
An artist.
A fighter.
A beloved figure whose light still echoes.
