Scientists have made a major leap in synthetic photosynthesis by creating an artificial system that directly converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into liquid fuel with high efficiency. Unlike natural photosynthesis, which produces sugars slowly and inefficiently, this engineered setup uses nanomaterials and tailored enzymes to rapidly produce methanol, a versatile and carbon-neutral fuel.

This breakthrough offers a scalable, renewable energy source that could reduce global reliance on fossil fuels and curb greenhouse gas emissions. By efficiently storing solar energy in liquid form, it also solves the challenge of intermittency inherent in solar and wind power.

Researchers envision deploying this technology in solar farms to produce clean fuels for transportation and industry. This development marks a crucial step toward sustainable energy systems that harmonize with Earth’s carbon cycle.

Scientists from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have developed a "carbon-14 diamond battery" that can power devices for 5,700 years using energy from the radioactive decay of carbon-14, sourced from nuclear reactor graphite waste.

Encased in a diamond-like structure, the battery produces microwatt-level power, ideal for long-term, maintenance-free applications like medical implants, deep-space probes, and remote sensors.

This innovation repurposes nuclear waste into a sustainable energy source, addressing waste management while offering a near-eternal power solution for niche technologies.

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa remains the loudest sound ever recorded on Earth—measured at an estimated 310 decibels. At that intensity, sound becomes a violent pressure wave. Eardrums ruptured 40 miles away. The sound was heard over 3,000 miles from the source. The pressure wave circled the planet four times and was recorded for five days on barographs around the world.

This eruption reshaped coastlines, triggered tsunamis, and killed over 36,000 people. Ash darkened skies across the globe, altering sunsets and cooling the climate for years.

To understand the scale:
• A jet engine at close range hits about 140 dB
• A shotgun blast reaches around 160 dB
• The launch of a Saturn V rocket measures around 204 dB
• Theoretical sound limit in air: 194 dB. Krakatoa surpassed it because it became a pressure blast, not just airborne sound

Few events in human history have left such a wide-reaching physical and atmospheric imprint. Krakatoa was power on a scale most people can’t imagine

Actors Jamie Fox and Samuel L.Jackson are set to appear in 'Tyson'. A movie based on the ups and downs of the life of Mike Tyson.

The biopic has been in filming since 2014 and is set to hit the screens by 2026, and will be directed by legendary director Martin Scorsese.

A 35-mile rift opened in Ethiopia — proof that the African continent is tearing in two and forming a new ocean.

Beneath the scorching expanse of East Africa’s Afar region, a dramatic geological transformation is slowly unfolding — Africa is literally splitting apart.

Recent satellite data and GPS measurements have enabled scientists to closely monitor the East African Rift System, a unique tectonic environment where three plates—the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian—are pulling away from one another.

This rifting process, which has been underway for millions of years, is progressing at rates of mere millimeters to centimeters annually. But over geological time, it’s building toward a monumental shift: the birth of a new ocean and the eventual separation of East Africa into a distinct landmass.

This process is most visibly exemplified by a 35-mile-long fissure that cracked open in Ethiopia’s desert in 2005—an abrupt event that simulated hundreds of years of tectonic activity in just a few days. Scientists, including volcanologists and geophysicists, believe that this and other sudden rifting episodes are fueled by rising magma, creating immense pressure within the Earth’s crust. The Afar region, known as one of the few terrestrial analogs for mid-ocean ridges, offers a rare glimpse into the mechanisms that transform continental rift zones into oceanic basins. Over the next 5 to 10 million years, water from the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden is expected to inundate the rift valley, forming a new ocean and reshaping the map of Africa forever.
