🧠 Redditor 3D-Printed His Own Brain

The whole process took 23.5 hours, he claims.

If you have an MRI brain scan file in NIfTI format, you can turn it into a 3D-printable model for free at brain2print.org.

Another idea for an unusual gift!

⚛️ CERN Discovers New Proton-Like Particle

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a new particle made of two charm quarks and one down quark. Its structure is similar to that of the familiar proton, but two light up quarks are replaced by two much heavier charm quarks—making the new particle about four times heavier.

"The result will help theorists test models of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force that binds quarks into not only conventional baryons and mesons but also more exotic hadrons such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks," says LHCb Spokesperson Vincenzo Vagnoni.

☀️ Rising Heat Could Cause Up To 700,000 Extra Deaths A Year By 2050

A study in The Lancet Global Health finds that higher temperatures may push more people into inactivity, increasing health risks.

Each extra month above 27.8°C is linked to a 1.4 percentage-point rise in inactivity worldwide (1.85 pp in lower-income countries).

By 2050, this could lead to 470,000–700,000 extra deaths annually and $2.4–3.68 billion in lost productivity.

🤖 Robot Demolishes Shelf While Serving Customers

🇰🇵 North Korea's 100,000 Fake IT Workers Earn $500M a Year

A joint report from IBM X-Force and cybersecurity firm Flare, published this week, has pulled back the curtain on North Korea's sprawling fake IT worker operation, revealing a centrally organized scheme that places thousands of operatives in legitimate technology jobs at companies worldwide—generating an estimated $500 million a year for Pyongyang.

🔥 "Cognitive Atrophy" is One of the Main Fears About AI 

Only bot unreliability, the impact of technology on the economy, and the loss of agency and autonomy due to AI worry people more. These were the findings made by Anthropic after surveying more than 80,000 users of its Claude bot.

The interviews were conducted by Claude itself—this is the world's first survey of this scale conducted by AI.

"I got excellent grades using AI's answers, not what I'd actually learned. I just memorized what AI gave me... That's when I feel the most self-reproach," a student from Korea shared.

🎓 Moreover, teachers are 2.5–3 times more likely to notice AI-related "cognitive atrophy" in those around them—they see the effect in their students.

👍 At the same time, blue-collar workers not only worry less about this phenomenon but are also more likely than others to say that AI really helps them learn new things.

Therefore, researchers believe that chatbots can be beneficial only if learning is approached with genuine intent—not simply as a box-ticking exercise.

Does "cognitive atrophy" caused by AI worry you?

🔥 — Yes, I'm starting to notice it
😎 — No, AI helps me!

😱 Full-Scale Model of Arthropleura

A Redditor had 3D-printed a 1:1 model of an Arthropleura, the largest insect (arthropod) ever known to exist.

The good news is that it went extinct 300 million years ago.

🐿 London Squirrels Really Like Vapes

Squirrels have developed a liking for vapes; a video of the animals "smoking" in London has gone viral online.

🪐 AI Tool Validates 118 Hidden Exoplanets in NASA's TESS Data

Astronomers at the University of Warwick have used a newly developed artificial intelligence pipeline to validate 118 previously unconfirmed exoplanets, including 31 entirely new detections, buried in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

The AI system, called RAVEN (RAnking and Validation of ExoplaNets), scanned observations of more than 2.2 million stars collected during the first four years of the TESS mission, focusing on planets that orbit close to their host stars with periods shorter than 16 days.

💻 Windows Applications Experience Hangs 7.5 Times More Frequently Than Those on macOS

This was reported by analysts at Omnissa, who analyzed telemetry data from millions of corporate devices running their software.

Furthermore, according to their data, Windows-based computers require forced shutdowns 3.1 times more often, and applications experience critical crashes 2.2 times more frequently compared to Apple machines.

Due to these disruptions, employees working on Windows lose up to 24 minutes of productive time.

⏳ In companies, macOS devices are used for an average of 6 years, while Windows machines are used for 3 years.

And which OS do you use?

❤️ — macOS
🔥 — Windows
