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
