John Larison’s new novel The Ancients suggests some societies are built for cataclysm.

Chinese state media reported that a 7.1 magnitude earthquake near one of Tibet’s most sacred cities resulted in at least 100 fatalities. The powerful tremor was also felt in neighboring Nepal.

Engineers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the US are developing a device that can harvest humidity in the air to create clean electricity.

The Roborock Saros Z70 robovac features a mechanical arm called OmniGrip that can be deployed to clear obstructions weighing up to 300 grams.

Set to redefine the future of hypergravity research, the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) in Hangzhou, China, is approaching completion.

Developed under the leadership of Zhejiang University, this state-of-the-art facility promises to deliver unprecedented experimental capabilities, expanding the frontiers of scientific exploration in hypergravity conditions.

Backed by a budget of over 2 billion yuan (approximately $286.6 million), CHIEF is poised to become the world’s most advanced hypergravity research center.

The new year will bring a pair of lunar eclipses, but don’t expect any sun-disappearing acts like the one that mesmerized North America last spring.

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to increase operation speeds of up to a thousand times.

Altermagnetism is a distinct form of magnetic order where the tiny constituent magnetic building blocks align antiparallel to their neighbors but the structure hosting each one is rotated compared to its neighbors.

Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy have shown that this new third class of magnetism exists and can be controlled in microscopic devices. The findings have been published in Nature.
