5D ‘eternity crystal’ stores 360 TB of data for billions of yearsScientists have stored the entire human genome on a five-dimensional crystal that’s capable of digitally storing up to 360 terabytes of information and is built to survive for billions of years. The tech could be used to create an enduring record of human, animal, and plant genomes.

Astronomers discover biggest ever seen black hole jets, which blast hot plasma well beyond their own host galaxyAstronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.

Astronomers Stunned by Unexpected Discovery of New Celestial Bodies in the Outer Solar SystemUsing the Subaru Telescope, astronomers have identified previously unknown celestial bodies in the outer Solar System, suggesting a larger, unexplored expanse that parallels other planetary systems. These findings, including a possible second ring of Kuiper Belt Objects, could reshape our underst

Quantized redshift and challenges to Big Bang hypothesisA Doppler shift is defined as a change of frequency of light or sound when an object is moving toward or away from an observer. Edwin Hubble observed in 1929 that galaxies appear on average to be moving away from us (see figure above), which could indicate that the universe is expanding, an effect that became known as the Hubble Law.

Artificial intelligence model helps produce clean waterAbout 2.2 billion people, more than a quarter of the world's population, lack access to safe, managed drinking water, and about half of the world's population experiences severe water scarcity at some point during the year. To overcome these shortages, huge socioeconomic costs are being spent on sewer irrigation and alternative water sources such as rainwater reuse and seawater desalination.
