A solar superflare is an extraordinarily powerful energy eruption from the Sun, significantly stronger than regular solar flares. These events release an astonishing amount of energy—up to one octillion joules (a number with 27 zeros). To put this into perspective, the Carrington Event of 1859, which caused global telegraph failures, was only about 1% the…
The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is ramping up the integration of robotic-assisted surgery in a bold effort to address its growing waiting list of 7.4 million patients. This initiative aims to enhance surgical precision, improve recovery times, and boost overall efficiency within the healthcare system. A strategic shift to robotic procedures Surgical robots are…
