China’s ‘Origin Wukong’, a superconducting quantum computer, has fine-tuned a billion-parameter AI model using a 72-qubit quantum chip—a global first, according to the Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center.

Fine-tuning AI models, like large language models (LLMs), adapts them for specific tasks—think psychological counseling or solving math problems. It’s a critical process, but it demands huge computing resources. Origin Wukong tackled this efficiently, cutting training loss by 15%, hitting 82% accuracy on math tasks, and shrinking model parameters by 76%. Quantum computing’s ability to handle hundreds of tasks at once could ease the growing strain on computational power as AI demand surges.

This is a demo, not a finished product—challenges like quantum error correction still loom. But it hints at a future where quantum computing could make AI leaner, faster, and more accessible. The facts speak for themselves; where it leads is up for debate.

✨FUN FACT : In the 1990s, Australian scientist Dr. John O’Sullivan and his team, while trying to detect radio waves from black holes, developed a technique using fast Fourier transforms to fix distorted signals. This breakthrough led to faster, more reliable wireless data transmission, forming the foundation of the Wi-Fi technology we use today.

When an industry thrives in both war and peace, who benefits from peace? And who profits from keeping the world in conflict?

It’s time to question a world where destruction is profitable and peace is inconvenient.

👉War is not inevitable—it’s a choice.

For the first time in history, global crypto transaction volume has surpassed traditional credit card networks.

According to new data from CoinMetrics and Visa’s own quarterly filings, crypto transactions totaled approximately $18.5 trillion over the past 12 months, edging past Visa’s $14.5 trillion and Mastercard’s $8.2 trillion.

Analysts attribute the surge to the growing use of stablecoins, particularly USDC and USDT, in cross-border settlements and decentralized finance platforms.

Despite regulatory uncertainty in major markets like the United States, the daily on-chain activity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana networks now rivals or exceeds many established payment processors.

A French Concorde was once used to fly a rare snake bite serum to Africa for emergency treatment as the poor victim only had a couple of hours or so left to live, amazingly he lived due to the time saved by Concorde

The arrival of these elite foreign fighter aircraft — including F-35s and F-16 variants — underscores the seriousness of the current geopolitical climate. According to defense sources, these jets will participate in joint exercises and are likely to be integrated into high-level strategic planning, alongside India’s own Rafales, Sukhoi-30MKIs, and Mirage-2000s. This move marks a rare and powerful trilateral military collaboration on Indian soil, strengthening deterrence and showcasing India's global defense ties.

The Pahalgam terror attack, widely condemned across the world, has drawn strong responses from New Delhi, with the government promising swift and decisive action. Intelligence inputs suggest that the attack had backing from across the border, further fuelling India’s readiness for a potential military offensive. Massive troop movements and air patrols have already been reported in Jammu and Kashmir, as tensions soar.

While diplomatic backchannels remain open, the current build-up reflects a worst-case scenario preparation. Defense analysts believe this unprecedented support from allies like the US and Israel not only boosts India's combat capabilities but also sends a clear message to adversaries about the international implications of further escalation.

China is exploring the future of naval technology with a groundbreaking concept: a laser-propelled submarine capable of reaching jet-like speeds underwater.

Researchers are integrating ultra-thin optical fibers along the submarine’s hull to direct powerful laser energy into plasma-driven detonation waves.

This innovative system is said to generate around 70,000 newtons of thrust—comparable to jet engines—while supercavitation bubbles help keep the vessel nearly silent beneath the surface.

Further falls would exacerbate price pressures when tariffs are already pushing up inflation, Hatzius writes in an opinion piece in the Financial Times,
A weaker dollar, by making exports cheaper, would also help narrow the U.S. trade deficit and help buffer the economy from recession. But Hatzius notes the drivers of dollar weakness matter and reduced appetite for U.S. assets could offset the impact of a weaker currency on financial conditions

"I often dodge questions about the dollar. A large body of academic literature and my own experience as an economic forecaster have taught me that predicting exchange rates is even harder than predicting growth, inflation and interest rates," said Hatzius.

"But with all due humility, I believe that the recent dollar depreciation of 5% on a broad trade-weighted basis has considerably further to go."

Hatzius, noted that two historical periods with similar dollar valuations to the present day -- the mid-1980s and early 2000s -- set the stage for a 25-30% depreciation.

The IMF estimates non-U.S. investors hold around $22 trillion in U.S. assets. Hatzius says this perhaps makes up a third of combined portfolios, with half of this in equities that are often not hedged for currency moves.
Hatzius adds a U.S. current account deficit of $1.1 trillion has to be financed by a net capital inflow of the same amount every year. In theory, this comes from foreign buying of U.S. assets, so even a pause in foreign U.S. asset purchases could hurt the greenback.

Massive, superheated rocks are bubbling up from deep inside the planet — and it's splitting Africa in two.

As a result, scientists say a new ocean is forming in Africa.

Deep beneath Ethiopia's Afar region, three tectonic plates—the Arabian, Nubian, and Somali—are gradually pulling apart. As these plates continue to diverge over the next five to ten million years, they could eventually split the African continent in two, creating a brand-new ocean between them. Researchers have already detected signs of oceanic crust forming, a clear signal that this continental rift is evolving into something much bigger.

Thanks to advanced GPS technology, geologists can now track these movements with remarkable precision, measuring shifts in the Earth’s crust down to mere millimeters per year.

While the exact cause of the rifting remains uncertain, one leading theory suggests that superheated rocks are rising from the planet’s mantle at the meeting point of the three tectonic plates, fueling the separation. As scientists continue to study this rare geological event, it offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to better understand the birth of oceans—and the forces that slowly, yet powerfully, reshape our planet.

Dr. John Brandenburg, a physicist formerly associated with Princeton, has proposed a controversial theory suggesting that an ancient Martian civilization was annihilated by a nuclear a**ack from an alien race.

He bases this claim on the presence of Xenon-129 isotopes in Mars’ atmosphere, which he argues resemble those produced by thermonuclear explosions on Earth. Brandenburg believes that the red hue of Mars is a result of this catastrophic event. However, mainstream scientists and NASA have not endorsed his theory, and it remains speculative without empirical evidence.

A new lithium-ion battery developed by researchers at UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech demonstrates extraordinary durability and self-healing capabilities. This battery can withstand stretching, twisting, folding, and even continues powering devices while being repeatedly punctured with needles. Most remarkably, it can be cut in half and then self-heal to maintain over 90% of its original capacity.

Unlike previous stretchable batteries, this version uses a water-based hydrogel electrolyte without fluorine, making it nonflammable and less sensitive to moisture. The battery achieves stability up to 3.11 volts (compared to earlier hydrogel batteries limited to 1.23 volts) and maintains performance through 500 charging/discharging cycles over a month.

The U.S. stock market suffered a major decline, with the S&P 500 losing $4 trillion in value over 30 days.

Pakistan Army troops opened fire at various locations along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, violating the ceasefire agreement. In response, the Indian Army retaliated effectively. Sources indicate this may have been an attempt to test India's vigilance or provoke escalation. The situation remains tense, with heightened alertness across forward positions.
