Another Nuclear Fusion Milestone For China
China has made another vital step towards achieving commercially viable nuclear fusion. Chinese state media is reporting the CRAFT artificial sun project has surpassed international benchmarks in the final testing of two locally developed superconducting magnets. They are the world’s biggest superconducting magnets for a nuclear fusion project and represent a major step forward in…
Read MoreGTA VI and the End of Owning Games
The countdown is on, and the publicity machine is in high gear, for the impending release of Grand Theft Auto VI. But one detail has cut through the usual cycle of trailers, pre-orders and speculation: Rockstar Games has revealed that the boxed “physical” edition of GTA VI will not actually contain a disc. Instead, customers…
Read MoreChallenger: The Shuttle Disaster That Changed Spaceflight
Seventy-three seconds after liftoff, a plume of fire and smoke split the Florida sky. The Space Shuttle Challenger, carrying seven people and the attention of classrooms across the United States, had broken apart in full view of television cameras. Four decades later, Challenger is remembered not only for the lives lost, but for the warning…
Read MoreWelcome To 2026
Fires, floods, and cyclones; pilfered presidents, revolutions, uprisings, and royal commissions. We’re barely a month into the new year and it’s already been chaos. Welcome to 2026. While one part of Australia battles heatwaves and severe bushfires, another is fighting flood waters and the aftermath of an ex-tropical cyclone. Amid the fallout from the Bondi…
Read MoreNASA Releases 3I/ATLAS Images – But Is It Too Late?
NASA has released the previously withheld images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, dismissing any speculation about it being alien technology. As the US government reopens after its longest shutdown in the country’s history, NASA has published the close-up images taken of 3I/ATLAS by its Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) between 11 September and 2 October. NASA…

Earth will have a new travelling companion in orbit for the next few decades. As interstellar object 3I/ATLAS disappears from observable sight behind the Sun, NASA has confirmed that an asteroid named 2025 PN7 has become a quasi-moon to Earth. In a rare cosmic occurrence, the asteroid will share the planet’s orbit until 2083.…
Read MoreInterstellar Overdrive
The discovery of a massive interstellar object travelling at phenomenal speed towards our Sun has thrown astrophysicists, ufologists and tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists alike into speculative overdrive. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is said to most likely be a comet and it is only the third time in history astronomers have discovered an interstellar object…
Read MoreMajor Breakthrough For China’s ‘Artificial Sun’
Chinese researchers have achieved a monumental milestone in the development of fusion power generation as their ‘artificial sun’ sets a new record. As reported across multiple scientific journals and news outlets, the ‘artificial’ sun project, officially known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), maintained a steady, highly confined loop of plasma for 1,066…
