On January 20, 2025, China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as the “artificial sun,” achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough in nuclear fusion research. The reactor maintained a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an unprecedented 1,066 seconds—nearly 18 minutes—shattering its previous record of 403 seconds set in 2023. This historic milestone is the result of…
For decades, individuals worldwide have reported experiencing a range of symptoms, including chronic headaches, insomnia, heart palpitations, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties.

As space exploration advances, geopolitical tensions are increasingly extending into orbit, with nations developing and testing new space-based technologies that could reshape military power dynamics. Among the more unsettling reports from this evolving frontier is speculation about Russia working on a space-based nuclear weapon. Although details are limited, the mere suggestion of such a weapon…
The year 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for space exploration, with a range of exciting missions set to advance our understanding of the universe, expand human presence beyond Earth, and push the boundaries of technology. Leading the charge is NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustained human presence on…
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, yet our ability to control it in the event of catastrophic consequences is almost nonexistent. Many experts warn that some of the technologies currently being developed pose serious existential threats to humanity. In other words, we may be recklessly creating something that could one day destroy us entirely….
