Last week, two papers by South Korean scientists made an extraordinary claim that sparked a social media frenzy and pushed up prices of some stocks in China and South Korea: the discovery of a practical superconductor.

Superconductor claims spark investor frenzy, but scientists are sceptical

In a groundbreaking study, novel research has revealed a concerning trend — waves are surging to greater heights and surf reaching at least 13 feet (approximately 4 metres) is becoming more frequent off the coast of California.

Ocean waves are getting bigger as Earth gets warm, study says

Search for the biggest animal to have ever lived on Earth and the internet will tell you it's the Blue Whale. However, scientists may have found a bigger contender that could dethrone the giants of the ocean.

Not blue whale, this 40mn-year-old animal is largest ever to have lived on Earth

The endeavour of sending human beings into the vast expanse of space is an unparalleled feat, fraught with challenges and dangers. Over the span of just over six decades, space exploration has claimed the lives of 20 individuals.
