New Arctic hydrothermal field sees intense geological activity

In 2022, an international research team aboard the MARIA S. MERIAN made a remarkable discovery in a hydrothermal field. They found it 3,000 meters (9,842 feet) below the ocean surface. The team discovered the first known hydrothermal field along the 500-kilometer-long Knipovich Ridge. This mountain range is located near Spitsbergen, a Norwegian archipelago in the … Read more

The surface of Titan. Simulations by MIT geologists indicate that the lakes and seas on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, were formed by wave-induced erosion. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Researchers find that wave activity on Saturn’s largest moon could be strong enough to erode the shorelines of lakes and seas. MIT researchers have used simulations to suggest that … Read more

Yes, Elon Musk’s brain chip could be hacked to record brain activity, Neuralink human trial patient admits

Hackers can siphon data from a Neuralink computer chip embedded in a person’s brain, the first patient to receive the advanced medical device had admitted. Noland Arbaugh, the 29-year-old patient who was left paralyzed below the shoulder after a diving accident, discussed the threat of hackers in a candid podcast interview with Joe Rogan.
