Louder than jet engines: How snapping shrimp disrupt undersea studies

Tiny snapping shrimp, not whales, are the ocean's loudest animals, reaching up to 210 decibels with their claw snaps. This intense noise disrupts marine research globally, masking other animal sounds and interfering with acoustic mapping. Climate change is exacerbating the issue by increasing shrimp activity in warmer waters.

Building Mars colonies with ice: How scientists plan to make it possible

Mars' abundant ice offers a revolutionary solution for future human settlements. Scientists propose using this frozen water as a primary building material, providing crucial insulation against extreme temperatures and harmful radiation. This sustainable approach significantly reduces reliance on Earth-based supplies, making Mars colonization more practical and cost-effective, paving the way for a new era of space exploration.

James Webb reveals a bizarre lemon-shaped planet 2,000 light-years away

The James Webb Telescope has discovered an exoplanet, PSR J2322-2650b, orbiting a pulsar 2,000 light-years away. This planet, shaped like a lemon due to extreme gravitational forces, boasts a unique atmosphere rich in carbon compounds and helium, unlike any previously observed. Its extreme heat and composition challenge current planetary formation theories.

Meet Subhasish Mitra and Tathagata Srimani: Indian-origin professors build America’s first monolithic 3D AI chip

Indian-origin professors have pioneered America's first monolithic 3D AI chip, fabricated in a US foundry. This breakthrough, developed by a multi-institutional team, significantly boosts AI performance and energy efficiency by stacking memory and processing units vertically. The innovation tackles the 'memory wall' bottleneck, paving the way for faster, more powerful AI systems and strengthening domestic chip manufacturing.
