A recent court decision might just have given Big Tech a new lease on life for buying up smaller firms. For years, tech giants have been cautious about acquiring competitors, fearing regulatory backlash. But a federal judge's ruling that Meta's past acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were legal
A recent study has stirred up quite the debate. It suggests that a small rise in global sea levels could lead to harsher winters in East Asia. The idea is that a 15-30 cm increase in sea levels might tweak atmospheric patterns, making cold snaps more intense. But is this claim backed by solid eviden
String theory is like a big puzzle. It tries to explain how tiny particles work. Recently, scientists found a new way to solve part of this puzzle. They looked at something called the 4-tachyon amplitude. This is a part of string theory that wasn't fully understood before. They used a special tool c
A recent explosion near Delhi's Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, has left the city in shock. This historic monument, built in the 17th century, is a symbol of India's independence and a popular tourist spot.

Microfluidic devices are like tiny labs on a chip. They can do amazing things, like making proteins or capturing cells. But to do these tricks, they need to organize molecules on their surfaces. This is called surface patterning. It's like drawing with molecules. The patterns help keep things in pla
Epilepsy is a long-term condition that affects the brain and causes repeated seizures. In Cameroon, there isn't much information about how this condition affects children. A recent study tried to fill this gap by looking at cases from a major hospital. The study found that seizures in children can
In the complex world of cancer, tiny molecules can have big impacts. One such molecule, tetracosatetraenoic acid (C24:4 (n-6)), has been found to play a significant role in the spread of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) to the lungs. This molecule is produced by an enzyme called PLA2G16, which i

Lattices are like building blocks in math. They help us understand how things relate to each other. Recently, mathematicians proved that a special kind of infinite lattice, called an FN lattice, exists. This lattice is simple and follows certain rules, making it unique. Now, imagine smaller, finite
The OnePlus 15 is a strong contender for mobile gamers. It has a huge 7, 300-mAh battery, which is great for long gaming sessions. However, the battery life can vary. If you crank up the graphics and frame rate, the battery drains faster. This is because the phone's high-end specs allow for better p
