Elon Musk has reached a historic milestone, becoming the world’s first half-trillionaire. His net worth has surpassed $500 billion, fueled by the growth of Tesla and his investments in artificial intelligence and space exploration.

MIT researchers have developed a groundbreaking concrete battery technology. This new material, called electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec3), can store energy while serving as a building material. Experts say it could change how we design energy systems in urban areas. The innovative concrete is designed to store electricity, acting like a large battery embedded in the structure of a building. This could help buildings absorb energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind power. By integrating storage directly into infrastructure, energy efficiency could be greatly improved. Traditional energy storage solutions rely on separate battery units. The new concrete, however, merges…
Gold has surged above $4,000 (£2,985) an ounce, hitting a historic high. Investors are flocking to the precious metal amid growing political tensions and economic instability worldwide. The rally marks gold’s steepest climb since the 1970s.

“Half of my life is on this app and now they expect us to pay for it.” This statement reflects the anger among Snapchat users after the company announced it will charge for storing old photos and videos. Many accuse the platform of monetizing nostalgia and betraying long-time users. Charging for memories In September, Snap, Snapchat’s parent company, revealed that users with more than five gigabytes of saved Memories will have to pay. For many, these photos and videos capture years of milestones, friendships, and personal moments, making the change feel like a betrayal. Snap defended the decision, comparing it…
Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. They were recognized for revealing how the immune system avoids attacking the body’s own tissues. Sakaguchi discovered regulatory T-cells, or T-reg cells, which act as the body’s immune “brakes.” Brunkow and Ramsdell identified the FoxP3 gene, vital for creating these protective cells. Mutations in FoxP3 cause severe autoimmune diseases, proving its crucial role in self-tolerance. “These discoveries changed immunology,” said Prof Adrian Liston. “They explain how balance keeps us healthy.” Researchers now test boosting T-reg cells to treat autoimmune disorders and lowering them to fight…
The United States has led the global technology market for decades. Now China is determined to challenge that supremacy. The world’s second-largest economy is investing billions in artificial intelligence and robotics. Its central goal is to produce high-end chips capable of competing with the world’s most advanced technology. Last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that China was only “nanoseconds behind” the U.S. in chip development. Beijing is racing to close the gap and reduce its reliance on imported technology. DeepSeek Marks China’s AI Breakthrough In 2024, the Chinese startup DeepSeek surprised the tech world by launching a competitor to…
