• The pistol shrimp (also known as the snapping shrimp) is a fascinating marine creature with one of the most powerful biological weapons in the animal kingdom — its claw.

    This shrimp can snap its claw shut so rapidly that it generates a high-speed cavitation bubble.

    When this bubble collapses, it produces a shockwave reaching speeds of up to 60 mph (about 97 km/h) and temperatures nearly as hot as the sun’s surface (~4,700°C or 8,500°F) — though for a microsecond and in a localized space.

    This bubble bullet is strong enough to stun or even kill small prey, which the shrimp then captures and consumes.

    The snap is also extremely loud, reaching 210 decibels, making the pistol shrimp one of the loudest animals in the ocean relative to its size.

    The phenomenon is not just physical but also a form of communication and territorial display among pistol shrimp.

    Researchers have studied this snap as an example of biological sonar and high-speed fluid dynamics.

  • China has made history by unveiling the world’s first cargo drone powered entirely by laser beams. Developed by researchers at Northwestern Polytechnical University, the drone receives wireless energy via high-powered laser transmission from a ground station, eliminating the need for traditional fuel or batteries. The breakthrough allows for theoretically unlimited flight time—an achievement that could redefine aerial logistics.

    This laser-powered drone has wide-reaching implications. In commercial settings, it could drastically cut costs and downtime for package delivery services. For disaster relief or military operations, the ability to deploy unmanned cargo drones indefinitely—without landing to recharge or refuel—could prove transformative. The technology is still in the early testing stages, but its success marks a giant leap forward in sustainable aviation and energy transfer.

  • In a bold and unprecedented move, New Zealand MP Laura McClure stood before Parliament holding a censored deepfake image of herself, generated entirely by AI. Her aim was to demonstrate just how disturbingly easy it is to create fake, explicit content using publicly available tools. The deepfake was fabricated in under five minutes without her consent, shedding light on a growing digital threat that disproportionately targets women and public figures.

    McClure’s action sparked urgent calls for legislative reform. She urged Parliament to classify deepfake pornography as a form of image-based sexual abuse, demanding it be treated with the same severity as the non-consensual sharing of real intimate photos. Her emotional testimony highlighted the psychological trauma such fabrications can inflict—even when the images aren't real. With AI capabilities growing rapidly, McClure's stand could mark a turning point in how nations respond to the darker side of synthetic media.

  • In Japan, some schools are teaching students the challenges of parenting through hands-on simulations.

    Male students wear 7kg (15-pound) pregnancy vests to mimic the physical strain of carrying a baby, and they also take care of real infants under supervision.

    This unique educational approach helps students—especially boys—better understand the responsibilities and emotional demands of parenting.

    The goal is to promote empathy, gender equality, and shared family roles in a society facing declining birth rates.

    By experiencing pregnancy and baby care firsthand, students gain a deeper appreciation for what it takes to raise a child. Similar programs exist in other countries as well, aiming to teach life skills and responsibility.
