Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming integrated into decisionmaking in critical sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, and energy. While this technology offers remarkable benefits, it comes with a significant risk: AI systems often produce outputs with high confidence even when their predictions are based on flawed, incomplete, or misleading data. These high-confidence errors, often referred to as hallucinations, can be harmless in casual applications but dangero

An earthquake’s effects are not confined to the ground—it can send invisible shockwaves high into the atmosphere, affecting even space-based technology. Researchers from a university in Japan have recently achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the world’s first 3D visualization of how seismic activity disturbs the ionosphere, the charged layer of the atmosphere that sits between 60 and 1,000 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The study focused on the power

A few years ago, a headline claiming the United States had imposed tariffs as high as 3,521% on solar panels from Southeast Asia might have seemed like exaggerated satire.

These tariffs, however, are more than just economic tools; they are signals of deeper geopolitical shifts where trade wars, technological competition, and power rivalries are
