Tensions rose in West Asia on Sunday (August 25) when Israel and Hezbollah launched attacks on each other. Israel, sensing a major retaliatory operation by the Iran-backed group, struck a Hezbollah position in Lebanon in what Hezbollah claimed was “initial retaliation” for the Israeli attack south of Beirut that killed its top commander, Fouad Shukr. Meanwhile, in the US election campaign, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris raised more than $540 million in one month, a record for a political campaign.In South Asia, the United Nations has expressed concern about the Taliban's new “morality” laws, which severely restrict women's rights and give…

PATERZELL, Germany (AP) — How do you teach a bird how and where to fly?Hunted nearly to extinction by the 17th century, the distinctive great grey ibis has been revived through breeding and rewilding efforts over the past two decades. But the bird, known for its distinctive black-and-iris green plumage, bald red head and long, curved beak, instinctively doesn't know which direction to fly across without the guidance of its wild-born elders. So a team of scientists and conservationists stepped in as foster parents and flying instructors.”We have to teach them the migration routes,” said biologist Johannes Fritz.Once soaring over…

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump issued a stern warning early Sunday, alleging that the leadership of President Joe Biden's administration, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, is leading the United States into World War III.”Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East? Bombs are falling everywhere!,” he wrote on Truth Social early Sunday morning. “Sleepy Joe was brutally kicked out of the Democratic Party and is sleeping on a California beach while Comrade Kamala is on a campaign bus tour with her truly terrible pick of a VP candidate, Tampon Tim. Please don't start World War III, we're heading there!”This…

While it's nearly impossible to get into a Chinese semiconductor lab, Chinese scientists do tend to share their research, so our colleagues at TechXplore discovered a paper by researchers at Peking University who claim to have developed the industry's first tensor processing unit (TPU) featuring carbon nanotube transistors. Before we get into the accomplishments that have been achieved, let’s talk a bit about carbon nanotube transistors and their importance. Carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors are essentially gate-all-around (GAA) field effect transistors (GAA FETs) that can be applied to almost anything and have all the features you would expect from a GAA…

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are cheaper to produce and more stable than traditional nickel-based chemistries. New research from a Tesla-funded lab has found that LFP batteries degrade faster when fully charged, and repeated charging at a high state of charge increases negative reactions within the pack. Electric vehicles with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more popular around the world. Compared to traditional nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries, LFP packs have the advantages of being cheaper to manufacture, lower fire risk, and longer lifespan. However, due to their lower energy density, automakers typically use LFP batteries in entry-level…

Europe: Without additional adaptation measures, temperature-related deaths in Europe could increase by 13.5% per year by the end of the century, according to a new study. According to the first pan-European assessment by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, even if current climate policies are successful in limiting global temperature rise to 3°C, 55,000 extra deaths from rising temperatures could occur. The assessment also found disparities in temperature-related mortality across Europe: cold-related deaths are currently 2.5 times more common in the east than in the west, while heat-related deaths are more…

The investment landscape in Southeast Asia is undergoing significant change with the growing presence of family offices and sovereign wealth funds. They are playing a key role in driving demand for private market assets, according to alternative investment data provider Preqin's latest Southeast Asia LP Fact Sheet. The rapid increase in family offices can be primarily attributed to the rapid growth in high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) in the region. Additionally, active efforts by countries such as Singapore to attract family offices also play a key role, according to Harsha Narayan, author of the…
