The Korean alphabet, called Hangul, is the only major writing system in human history with a known inventor and a documented design rationale — created in 1443 by King Sejong of the Joseon dynasty, who designed each consonant to physically represent the position of the tongue and lips during the corresponding sound, and published a companion document explaining exactly why each letter looked the way it did
Nobody knows who invented the letter A. Nobody knows who invented the letter B, or C, or any other letter of any writing system used by any other majo...
Accelerated ageing tests replicate real‐world degradation in perovskite solar cells

India increases AI funding and develops sovereign models to close research gap
India's AI research spending is just 0.64% of GDP. Startup funding surged to $3.94 billion in early 2026 as New Delhi backs sovereign large language m...
China was effectively shut out of the International Space Station after the United States passed the Wolf Amendment in 2011, so it built its own. If the ISS retires on schedule around 2030 and no commercial successor is ready, China’s Tiangong could become the only permanently crewed outpost in Earth orbit.
The International Space Station is still the larger and more international laboratory in orbit. Tiangong is smaller, newer, and controlled by one coun...

In the early 1960s, mother bald eagles across the United States were crushing their own eggs by sitting on them, in a continent-wide reproductive collapse caused by a single agricultural pesticide, and by 1963 only 417 nesting pairs of America’s national symbol remained alive in the lower 48 states
The bald eagle had not always been a rare bird. When the United States adopted Haliaeetus leucocephalus as its national symbol on 20 June 1782, the sp...

A bowhead whale can live for more than 200 years, yet it appears unusually resistant to cancer — and its genome carries genetic changes that may help explain why. Researchers have found signs of enhanced DNA repair in bowhead cells, turning one of the Arctic’s oldest mammals into a serious model for understanding aging itself.
Bowhead whales can live beyond 200 years, and genome and cell studies point to DNA repair as one possible clue to their unusual cancer resistance. The...
