The decline follows a series of setbacks, including a scrubbed Starship test flight and mounting investor anxiety regarding the company’s heavy artificial intelligence spending and upcoming share lockup expirations. Market Contraction and the $1 … Read more

Boston College Researchers Develop CrSBr Spin Transistor for Efficient AI

Researchers at Boston College have engineered a new spin transistor using chromium sulfur bromide (CrSBr), a material that could resolve the von Neumann bottleneck hindering modern AI. By integrating memory and processing into a single device, this architecture enables simultaneous data storage and computation, potentially leading to ultra-efficient, “instant-on” hardware. Modern computing is currently trapped … Read more

Queen’s University Belfast Researchers Develop Affordable 3D-Printed Flow Battery

Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have developed an affordable, 3D-printed flow battery that is now being used by over 35 international research groups to standardize long-duration energy storage studies. The project, which uses iron rather than expensive vanadium, aims to accelerate the global transition away from fossil fuels. For years, the promise of renewable energy … Read more

ISRO Implements Centralized Review Process for Scientist Resignations

New Centralized Approval Process for ISRO Personnel

The Department of Space (DoS) has issued a directive requiring all resignation and voluntary retirement requests from Group ‘A’ scientific and technical personnel at ISRO to undergo central review. The move follows reports of over 100 departures, including senior project directors, as India’s space sector faces intense competition for skilled talent. New Centralized Approval Process … Read more

Stanford Researchers Identify Metabolic Trap That Caused Permian Extinction

The Volcanic Trigger and Ocean Deoxygenation

A new study led by Stanford University researchers has identified the specific physiological factors that determined which marine animals survived the Permian–Triassic mass extinction, an event 252 million years ago known as the “Great Dying.” The findings, published July 6, 2026, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that the extinction was … Read more

Anthropic Restricts Mythos AI Model Over Advanced Cybersecurity Risks

Anthropic’s Mythos Model and the Project Glasswing Initiative

Anthropic has restricted access to its new AI model, Mythos, after testing revealed it could autonomously identify and exploit high-severity vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. Simultaneously, University of Washington researchers found that current agentic web browsers possess security risks, including the potential to bypass fundamental “same-origin” web protections. Anthropic’s Mythos Model and … Read more
