In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at Penn State have done what once seemed impossible: they’ve strongly violated Kirchhoff’s Law of Thermal Radiation, a bedrock principle of physics since 1860. This historic breakthrough could revolutionise how we harness and control heat, opening the door to advanced technologies in solar energy, thermal sensing, and heat regulation.

Kirchhoff’s Law states that, under identical conditions, a material must emit the same amount of thermal radiation it absorbs. For over a century and a half, this law has been a core part of thermodynamics, shaping everything from infrared sensors to space telescopes. But now, using a specially engineered metamaterial, the Penn State team has shattered that symmetry.

Their creation is a two-micrometer-thick film made of five precisely layered semiconductors, engineered to behave in extraordinary ways. When subjected to a strong magnetic field, this material displayed nonreciprocal thermal behavior, it emitted significantly more heat in one direction than it absorbed. The team achieved a contrast of 0.43 across a broad 10-micron wavelength range, doubling any previously recorded efforts.

To make this possible, they developed a custom magnetic thermal emission spectrophotometer, an instrument capable of measuring subtle differences in directional heat flow. The level of precision and control demonstrated here is unprecedented and marks a radical shift in our understanding of thermal dynamics.

What’s more, the metamaterial can be transferred onto different surfaces, meaning it has real-world potential. Devices equipped with this technology could manipulate heat just like electrical diodes control current. This paves the way for ultra-efficient energy harvesting, next-generation infrared sensors, and thermal systems that operate at levels once thought thermodynamically unreachable.

This isn’t just a clever lab trick. It’s a fundamental rethinking of the rules that govern how heat behaves, rules that now, thanks to modern materials and magnetic fields, are being rewritten in real time.

China has reportedly completed the world’s first successful satellite refueling in space.

Between June and July 2025, two Chinese satellites — Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 — docked in geostationary orbit about 22,000 miles above Earth. Tracking data from US firm COMSPOC and Switzerland’s s2a systems showed the satellites staying connected for days, indicating a likely fuel transfer.

Shijian-25, launched in January 2025, was specifically built to test in-orbit refueling. Shijian-21 had earlier used most of its fuel towing a defunct satellite to a graveyard orbit in 2022.

This breakthrough could be a game-changer for future deep space missions and long-term Mars exploration by extending satellite lifespans and reducing launch costs.

Chinese researchers have made a massive step towards creating a permanent moon base🌑They transformed lunar soil into large quantities of water. They used soil that the 2020 Chang’e-5 mission brought back from the Moon for their experiments🧪
They claim they can produce about 51-76 kg of water. That’s more than a hundred 500ml bottles of water, and it might be enough to cover the daily drinking water consumption of 50 people 💧

"Create a realistic photograph showing Norway's innovative underwater river turbine being deployed in a calm river. Show a large circular turbine with three white blades submerged in clear blue-green water, with two workers in diving gear on a white platform/dock connecting it with ropes. Include a Norwegian work barge with orange flotation tanks and a small crane with Norwegian flag in the background. The river should be surrounded by green forested hills. Add large white bold text at the bottom reading: 'Norway's damless river turbine could power entire communities without ever disturbing a single fish or stone'. Place 'Color Whiz' in modern sans-serif font in the upper left corner in white text. Style: documentary photography, clean renewable energy technology, Nordic landscape setting."
For the logo replacement specifically:

Position: Upper left corner
Font: Modern sans-serif (like Helvetica, Arial, or Roboto)
Color: White
Size: Medium, readable but not competing with main text
Style: Clean, professional, slightly bold

This should recreate the same underwater turbine scene and bold white text styling while adding your "Color Whiz" branding in place of any existing watermarks.

Physicists found that certain black holes might exist in a quantum superposition, holding multiple masses at once until observed, like Schrödinger’s cat. These mass states appear in fixed levels, not randomly, hinting at deep quantum rules. It’s a possible step toward uniting quantum physics with gravity.

In a heart-stirring act of devotion, Australian woman Nicole Graham risked her life to save her beloved horse, Astro, after he became trapped in a muddy tidal flat near Geelong.

The 18-year-old, 500 kg horse was sinking rapidly into the mud, and Nicole, unable to free him alone, stayed by his side for three tense hours.

She cradled his head to keep it above the rising muck and tide while calling for help.

Emergency services arrived and, with coordinated effort, successfully pulled Astro free using a harness and tractor.

Both horse and owner were exhausted but unharmed.

The emotional image of the woman clinging to her horse became a viral symbol of compassion and loyalty, resonating with animal lovers worldwide.

Elon Musk has announced his return to a grueling work schedule, indicating a shift back to “wartime CEO” mode.

Musk, in a post on X, revealed his intent to resume working seven days a week and sleeping in his office, especially when his children are not around.

This revelation came as a response to a quote tweet from a user named SMX, who referred to Musk’s previous statements about his intense work ethic.

The post has garnered significant attention, with over 8.6 million views. It echoes Musk’s past work habits, which have often been characterized by long hours and personal sacrifices.

Musk’s return to his ‘wartime CEO’ mode could signal a period of intense focus and drive at Tesla. In the past, such phases have coincided with significant developments and breakthroughs at the company.

However, they have also raised concerns about Musk’s personal well-being and the sustainability of such a demanding work schedule.

Despite the lack of specific context around the tweet, it’s clear that Musk’s commitment to his work remains unwavering.

As the leader of one of the most innovative companies in the world, his work habits continue to draw both admiration and concern.

GM and LG to Produce Low-Cost LFP EV Batteries in Tennessee by 2027

GM and LG Energy Solution are converting their Spring Hill, TN Ultium Cells facility to produce lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries—aiming to start production by late 2027. The shift supports GM’s push to lower EV prices, diversify its battery tech, and expand its all-electric lineup with more accessible options for U.S. consumers. The move is part of a $2.3 billion investment into American battery manufacturing.

– Spring Hill plant will begin LFP cell production as early as 2027
– LFP batteries lower EV costs while offering solid performance for daily use
– Facility will produce both LFP and high-nickel cells under one roof
– Investment reinforces GM and LG’s long-term EV strategy in the U.S.
– Dealers can expect broader EV offerings, lower entry prices, and stronger showroom pull

As EV affordability becomes a key factor in adoption, GM’s domestic LFP production gives dealers an edge—offering a wider range of models tailored to different buyers, with more resilient supply chains and shorter delivery timelines.

On a recent podcast, Snyder revealed she’s leaving California for Franklin, Tennessee, as the beloved burger chain expands into the Southeast. Why the move? “Raising a family is not easy here,” she said of California, citing crime, business challenges, and pandemic-era mandates as major frustrations.

In-N-Out broke ground last fall on a 100,000-square-foot office in Franklin, and the first Tennessee locations are expected by 2026. While California will still house most of the chain’s restaurants, corporate jobs are being relocated to either Baldwin Park or the new Tennessee office as the company phases out its Irvine HQ by 2030.

Snyder, who has led the company since 2010, also confirmed she’s declined offers to open stores in Florida and other East Coast states — for now. But with a Texas warehouse able to reach Tennessee and beyond, expansion is still on the table.

Oh, and about that Oakland store? Closed for good. Snyder says it was in an “absolutely dangerous” area — with gunfire and a stabbing reported at the location.

In-N-Out might be expanding, but it’s leaving some Golden State baggage behind. 🍔➡️🏞️

Algae-Powered Streetlights Now Running in Paris Suburb

In a suburban district outside Paris, a row of glowing green streetlights has quietly gone live — powered not by electricity, but by living microalgae. These bio-reactor lights, developed by French company Glowee, generate light through bioluminescence and harvest excess energy via photosynthesis.

Each light contains a living culture of marine microalgae in a transparent bioreactor. By day, the algae absorb sunlight and CO₂, producing oxygen and storing chemical energy. At night, embedded sensors trigger the bioluminescent reaction, producing a soft, ethereal glow.

The system also powers a low-watt backup LED using energy harvested during the day — making it a net-zero, grid-free lighting solution.

The pilot has already survived winter storms, extreme temperatures, and full-week blackout tests. Maintenance involves monthly algae refresh cycles, and the byproduct is clean, oxygen-rich water — sometimes even reused for irrigation.

Beyond aesthetics, the system is part of a broader EU plan to integrate living systems into urban infrastructure — a movement known as "biourbanism."

It’s part light fixture, part ecosystem — and it breathes.
