An asteroid the size of three football fields will pass close to Earth within three years, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study this massive space object up close. Nicknamed Apophis, after the Egyptian deity known as the “God of Chaos,” the asteroid is expected to approach our planet on April 13, 2029, according to NASA. It will come as close as 32,186 kilometers from Earth’s surface—closer than many satellites orbiting the planet. Scientists consider Apophis a “po

Researchers have developed a new method that could allow the body to produce beneficial proteins, including highly powerful but rare antibodies, by reprogramming the immune system, according to Reuters. Traditional vaccines stimulate immune cells called B cells to produce antibodies that recognize pathogens. However, some viruses such as HIV can hide their most vulnerable regions behind sugar-like molecules that resemble the body’s own tissues, thereby avoiding an immune resp

A cybersecurity expert at the National Authority for Cyber Security, Kristian Josifi, has explained some of the most common forms of online scam campaigns, emphasizing the growing risk these schemes pose to users. According to him, one of the key elements in identifying a scam is verifying the sender. He stressed that citizens should be especially cautious of numbers or addresses from which messages come, even when they appear to be Albanian numbers, as they are often spoofed

Alyssa Carson is one of the most fascinating figures of the new generation in the field of space science. Only 24 years old, the American has drawn the attention of the media and the scientific community for her long-term dedication to future human missions to Mars—a goal that, for her, began in childhood. From a very young age, Carson enrolled in international space camps, becoming one of the youngest participants in educational programs related to astronautics. She visited

How Palantir Is Becoming a Global Technology Power The world’s media are buzzing about Palantir and its potential impact on the future of technology and data analytics. But who is behind this company that has earned the trust of the U.S. government? Alex Karp, Palantir’s CEO, was born in New York in 1967 and studied philosophy and law. His encounter with Peter Thiel shifted the trajectory of his career, leading to the founding of Palantir Technologies in 2003. The company foc

A new oral medication against “bad” cholesterol (LDL), which blocks the PCSK9 protein, is being considered a revolutionary breakthrough in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Enlicitide decanoate, developed by Merck, is taken only once a day and has shown highly promising results in phase 3 studies presented at the American Heart Association 2025. Studies showed that the drug can reduce LDL by up to 59%, while also lowering other harmful cholesterol markers such as apo

Tsunamis reach the shores quietly, often with little warning. However, a promising NASA program uses an intelligent method to detect ocean disturbances as they occur, giving areas at risk enough time to react. The Guardian artificial intelligence system uses signals from GPS satellites affected by atmospheric disturbances to provide early warnings, according to the BBC. Meanwhile, Europe is developing its own system to monitor regions of interest, such as the Indian Ocean, wh

In many supermarkets, some cucumbers are sold wrapped in plastic, while “home-style” varieties sit unwrapped nearby. At first glance, using plastic may seem unnecessary and harmful to the environment, but science tells a different story. Studies have shown that plastic wrapping slows down moisture loss from cucumbers, keeping them fresher for longer. Cucumbers are over 95% water, so without protection they quickly dehydrate, lose their texture and flavor, and their skin tends

There is also the existential threat that comes from the ease of developing biological weapons and the danger that, as artificial intelligence advances, humanity could completely lose control over it... Artificial intelligence is an extraordinary tool capable of helping solve humanity’s most complex challenges. The companies developing this technology see progress as a race and so do nations. However, many leading figures, including the founders of generative AI, openly ackno

Scientists in Japan have, for the first time, provided concrete biological evidence that brain fog caused by long COVID is not merely a subjective symptom, but a measurable molecular condition in the brain. A research team from Yokohama City University, led by Professor Takuya Takahashi, has discovered that patients suffering from long COVID show increased activity of AMPA receptors key molecules that enable communication between nerve cells and are essential for memory and l
