From Materials Simulation to Experimental Astronomy, New NVIDIA AI Software Unlocks Scientific Discoveries
At the ISC conference running in Hamburg this week, NVIDIA is introducing new software that speeds AI for science, from chemistry and materials discovery to the search for dark matter. The NVIDIA DAQIRI library and new NVIDIA ALCHEMI NIM microservices — as well as the NVIDIA cuPhoton reference code, coming soon — turn work that once took hours or days on CPUs into real-time, GPU-accelerated pipelines. They’re a part of NVIDIA CUDA-X, a collection of tools and libraries that deliver dramaticall...
The skeleton lake found in 1942 still holds an unsolved secret
High in the Indian Himalayas, Roopkund sits like a shallow bowl pressed into the rock, half the year locked under snow and ice, the rest briefly exposed to air that barely feels breathable. It lies far above the tree line in Uttarakhand, reached only after long climbs through broken slopes and weather that turns quickly without warning.
The looming Super El Nino
A powerful El Nino is expected to peak in November that could threaten food supply and increase extreme weather events.
Stonehenge breakthrough reveals surprising path behind ancient stone’s 450-mile trek

SOP released to conserve sea turtles across 36 islands of Lakshadweep
A new Standard Operating Procedure has been launched for sea turtle conservation in Lakshadweep, offering a unified framework for management and monitoring. This initiative aims to protect all four major sea turtle species, which are legally protected. The SOP addresses nesting site security, migration tracking, and rescue protocols, building on the success of a decade-long ban on poaching that has boosted green turtle populations in the region.

The 'curse' of Bhangarh: Science or supernatural?
The allure of Bhangarh Fort, India's famed 'haunted' site, is explored beyond ghost tales, revealing a blend of history, psychology, and science. Built in the 17th century by Raja Madho Singh, this striking Aravalli landmark's supposed hauntings are debunked by locals. They attribute post-sunset dangers to wild animals, not spectral residents, urging a look at the fort's rich past.
China's brain chip breakthrough raises big questions
A coin-sized brain chip in China could help people with paralysis control devices using their thoughts. China has approved a brain-computer interface called NEO for commercial medical use in certain patients with paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries. That moves brain-chip technology out of research trials and closer to real-world medical care.Developed by researchers at Tsinghua University and Shanghai-based Neuracle Technology, NEO sits under the skull but rests on the brain's protective ou...
'Dig of the century' beneath Notre Dame reveals mysterious markings, ancient secrets
Archaeologists excavating Notre Dame cathedral in Paris have uncovered centuries of buried history, including a 1,700-year-old Roman coin and baffling markings that experts still can't explain.The excavation, which has been in the works for years, began after the cathedral was rebuilt in the wake of a devastating 2019 fire.

MHNP: conservation vs absolutism
THE debate over the future of the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) has become a proxy battle between conservation and development. On one side are those who argue that all commercial activity must be eliminated from the park. On the other are those who see the park as a public asset that should accommodate recreation, tourism and economic activity. The reality, however, lies somewhere in between. The question is not whether the Margalla Hills should be protected but whether protection require...

Energy firm behind Britain’s largest power station cleared after environmental investigation
The energy company behind Britain’s largest power station will face no further action after an investigation into the sustainability of its wood pellets. Energy giant Drax runs a ‘green’ biomass power station in South Yorkshire providing around five per cent of all UK electricity. It burns millions of tonnes of wood pellets every year, which it imports from North America. This is treated as renewable energy because the carbon released was first absorbed from the atmosphere during the trees’ life...

Scientists classify a strong El Nino when temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region rise between 1.5C and 1.9C above average, while anomalies above 2C are associated with very strong events.
New study reveals 1.7-million-year-old evidence humans may have carried fire
Inside the limestone chambers of South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave, small fragments of bone have been telling a story that is only now becoming legible. The material itself is unremarkable at first glance, scattered, fragile, long stripped of any obvious context.
