“Different agencies, one mission,” the Tennessee Highway Patrol stated. “Save a life. And they did … If you are struggling, please hear this. You matter, and help is available.”

When you splurge on a cocktail in a bar, the drink often comes with a slab of aesthetically pleasing, perfectly clear ice. The stuff looks much fancier than the slightly cloudy ice you get from your home freezer. How do they do this?
Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, including high-strength plastics and optical components. The final performance of these materials depends on their composition and internal microscopic structure. During manufacturing processes, however, fluids are subjected to mechanical forces that introduce internal stress, leading to microscopic structural damage, which in turn affects the material’s functionality.
Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens.
As the weather grows cold this winter, you may be one of the many Americans pulling their winter jackets out of the closet. Not only can this extra layer keep you warm on a chilly day, but modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.
Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological properties, can contribute to the emergence of unusual physical effects in specific systems.

The agency’s recruitment efforts included outsourcing applicant background checks and highlighting flexible work assignments and opportunities for advancement in its marketing campaigns
Astronomers have employed the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) to observe a mysterious gamma-ray emitting source designated HESS J1857+026. Results of the observational campaign, published December 19 on the pre-print server arXiv, shed more light on the nature of this source.
The moon and sun share top billing in 2026.
NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a novel method for actively controlling heat flow in solids by utilizing the transport of magnons—quasiparticles corresponding to the collective motion of spins in a magnetic material—and demonstrated that magnons contribute to heat conduction in a ferromagnetic metal and its junction more significantly than previously believed.
Scientists have developed a new approach to correcting common quantum computing errors, which could pave the way for more reliable systems.
A stable “exceptional fermionic superfluid,” a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional points, has been discovered by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo.
A group of people known as “Flat Earthers” actually believe that the Earth is flat, regardless of what science – or their eyes – tell them. They’ve grown so distrustful of science that they believe that planning and executing an expedition to Antarctica will help them prove that the Earth is indeed flat as they claim. These Flat Earthers believe that Antarctica is indeed where the world “ends.” Apparently, they believe that by sailing around Antarctica, they can prove that the Earth is flat. According to Jay Decasby, a major supporter of the Flat Earth theory:
According to the Flat Earth Society website, Antarctica’s ice shelves – an Ice Wall — are further proof that the Earth is flat because it stops explorers from going any further. The site states:
A variety of Flat Earthers have planned a number of expeditions to various places across the Earth – including a cruise — in an attempt to prove science wrong. While science has been wrong before, in this case, it’s been proven time and again that the Earth is indeed round. This is the reason for the globe used in education systems across the world. Additionally, according to the report, “dozens” of scientific teams have made it across Antarctica since the very first on December 14, 1911. Another group matched the feat a month later. The most recent trek was made by Colin O’Brady, who famously crossed Antarctica in 54 days by himself. This left “proof” for both sides of the debate. Although in the grand scheme of things, while dozens of teams have made the trek, and thousands have gone to Antarctica, very few humans have actually made it to the South Pole in Antarctica. It’s such a treacherous trek that many who have tried have died along the way. One problem with their expedition is the Antarctic Treaty of 1961, which states that no single entity can take possession or lay claim to any part of Antarctica. While it may make an expedition difficult, it apparently bolsters the claim of the Flat Earthers that Antarctica is the edge of the Earth, proving the Earth to be flat. This is because, according to the Flat Earthers, the treaty restricts the type and number of expeditions to the continent to explore the area, even though the treaty allows expeditions the “freedom of scientific investigation.” As for the cruise, there’s one thing extremely awkward about it. The ship’s captain will be using a navigational system based on a round Earth. Every single navigational system works on the FACT that the Earth is round. Period. End of story. So, by embarking on the cruise, what are the Flat Earthers really proving? Logan Paul, a YouTube Mockumentary star who is was filing a YouTube video at the Flat Earth International Conference in Denver, Colorado, talked to Robbie Davidson, and both believe the answer is yes. Logan believes that, as a man of truth, he wants to explore the “facts.” For instance:
Davidson, who is organizing the cruise, believes he has the facts already. While he’s not affiliated with the Flat Earth Society, believes that the Earth is more dome-shaped than flat, rather like a snow globe. He admits that no one is going to “fall off the edge.” Instead, he believes that squishing a dome more accurately represents what the Earth looks like and that this is the reason Antarctica is shaped the way it is at the bottom of the Earth. The real question, especially given the treaty and the fact that their “evidence” all contradicts itself, is: Can Flat Earthers really be considered “scientific” enough to warrant an expedition to the Antarctic? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Have your tin foil hats at the ready. |
