Even more startling, scientists found black fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum thriving inside Chernobyl’s ruined reactor, feeding on deadly radiation. With fungal pathogens like Candida auris already drug-resistant, “mutant fungus outbreak” is no longer pure science fiction.

Engineers at the University of Cambridge used a single layer of carbon atoms to create a graphene nano-antenna, operating at terahertz frequencies. Imagine Wi-Fi chips so tiny they vanish into fabrics—heralding the next wave of wireless technology breakthroughs.

Surprising everyone in the astronomy community, the team revealed that the hydrogen gas forms a vast halo around galaxies, stretching up to five times farther than previously believed. This breakthrough—detected using the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect—could redefine how galaxy formation and cosmic evolution are modeled, making “universe map discovery” a hot topic in space science.

Researchers tracked juvenile salmon fitted with slow-release clobazam and saw them dart through hydropower dams two to three times faster, shaving five hours off migration. But this turbocharged behavior could backfire, as less schooling means easier prey for predators—a twist that’s sparking debate on pharmaceutical pollution and aquatic wildlife risk.

Spectators at The Novo cheer as “Speed Demons” and “Egg Seekers” zip across digital leaderboards, with local celebrities joining the fray. As the viral LA event trends on TikTok, rumors swirl of a Netflix docuseries, cementing sperm racing as pop culture gold.
