Once combined, press the nougat mixture into the prepared pan evenly. Pop it into the freezer for about 30 minutes to set. 4. While that’s chilling, let’s whip up our ‘Caramel Layer’! Blend together the peanut butter, pitted dates, maple syrup, coconut sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 5. After the nougat has firmed up, spread the caramel layer evenly over it and sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top. Return to the freezer for another 30 minutes. 6. Finally, melt the dark chocolate and dip each bar into the chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Place the coated bars on a lined baking sheet. 7. Freeze the bars again for about 30 minutes before cutting them into your desired sizes and serving. Enjoy your healthy treat!

Something Big Is Coming From the Sun… On June 15, a monster awoke. Solar region 4114 erupted with an M8.46-class flare—just a fraction shy of the most dangerous flares our science can classify. Within minutes, blazing radiation slammed into Earth, electrifying our upper atmosphere and blacking out shortwave radios across parts of North America. But that was just the opening act. A colossal coronal mass ejection (CME) was unleashed—billions of tons of solar plasma now racing toward Earth at breakneck speed. Forecasts predict a glancing impact on June 18, likely to trigger geomagnetic storms and possibly push the aurora borealis deep into U.S. skies—maybe even Michigan or Maine. And here's the kicker... The sunspot that caused this? It’s still pointed straight at us—and it’s rumbling with activity. Scientists warn: More flares are likely. Bigger ones are possible. This is more than just a space weather event— It’s a reminder of how small we are under the fury of our Sun.

A real photograph of a single strontium atom suspended in an electric field. This image was taken by David Nadlinger, a physicist at the University of Oxford, and it won the 2018 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) science photo competition. In the photograph, the atom is held almost motionless in place by a pair of metal electrodes. The purple glow is the result of a laser causing the atom to emit visible light, which is then captured using a standard camera with a long exposure. Atoms are typically millions of times smaller than anything a regular camera can capture. However, when they are excited by lasers, certain atoms emit enough light to be photographed individually — as is the case here. The atom appears as a tiny dot in the middle of the apparatus, made visible through a phenomenon called laser cooling and trapping, which slows down its motion to keep it still long enough for imaging. This photo is considered historic because it's one of the few times humanity has visually captured a single atom with the naked eye (through the camera lens), instead of via electron microscopy or indirect imaging methods.
