This storm rained electrons, shifted energy from the sun’s rays to the magnetosphere, and went unnoticed for a long time.
From wearable electronics to microscopic sensors to telemedicine, new advances like graphene and supercapacitors are bringing “impossible” electronics to life.
If the metaverse is money, then companies will certainly want to play, too.
65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth. Not only did Jupiter not stop it, but it probably caused the impact itself.
A few years ago, the first dark matter-free galaxies were announced, and then immediately disputed. Now, there are too many to ignore.
