The Valve launched the new Steam Controller at the beginning of May and users have already started to discover some curious functions hidden in the accessory. Among them, one particularly caught attention on social media: the controller emits a famous cinema scream when it falls to the ground. The detail was discovered by players in recent […]

Thin and flexible shieldingThe renewed interest in space exploration has drawn attention to the need for a new generation of shielding materials capable of withstanding extreme environments, especially when spacecraft leave the protective bubble of Earth’s magnetosphere. In space, electromagnetic waves and neutron radiation can cause malfunctions in critical components, such as computers, and health problems for […]

T-ray vision An international team of researchers has developed an innovative method to observe what happens inside electronic chips while they are in operation, without needing to turn them off, disassemble them, or even touch them. The new technique is based on the already well-known terahertz waves, or T-rays, a safe and non-ionizing form of […]

Understanding human biology and health at the molecular level is one of science’s greatest challenges. To help tackle this, we’re launching the Research Program at the Intersection of the Life Sciences and Quantum AI (REPLIQA). REPLIQA is an effort by Google Quantum AI and Google.org to apply advanced quantum science and AI to the life […]

The growth in the number of startups in Brazil remains consistent: there were 22,869 mapped by the Sebrae Startups Observatory in 2025. But, as the ecosystem matures and capital becomes more selective, the pressure for financial sustainability tends to be concentrated unevenly across sectors. For 2026, one movement draws attention: the growing difference between sectors […]

Earth’s atmosphere is essential for life, but it represents a major obstacle to astronomy. Even on seemingly calm nights, air turbulence distorts starlight, causing the well-known twinkling effect. To overcome this problem, scientists have developed an ingenious solution: creating artificial stars with lasers, according to information from the portal IFLScience. This technique is part of […]

UA flight departed late from Oakland, California, because of an unusual passenger: Bebop, a robot who, like the other occupants of the aircraft, wanted to get to San Diego, in the same state in the United States. According to North American media outlets, the case happened last week, on April 30, when Bebop, a robot […]

Matter from a vacuum Physicists have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a practical method to dramatically increase the power with which laser light can be emitted. The new technique paves the way for the creation of the most intense light ever produced in a laboratory, enabling experiments to […]

The way Brazilians take care of their health is undergoing a silent but powerful transformation, driven by technology. Video consultations and diagnoses supported by artificial intelligence are already a reality in the sector, with health plan operators and medical institutions investing to make care faster, more accessible and more efficient. The telemedicine which gained strength […]

Route 66 is one of the most iconic highways in the U.S., stretching 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica. In celebration of its 100th anniversary, we’re rolling out two new ways to help you explore it, virtually or IRL. Cruise the Mother Road from your couch: For the first time, when you search for […]
