French billionaire Bernard Arnault has long sought to tighten his control over LVMH, the luxury conglomerate he founded almost four decades ago. This year, his efforts have gone into overdrive. Source link
Scientists just uncovered what’s really happening beneath this mysterious volcano
How do volcanoes function beneath their rocky surfaces? What drives the rumbling vibrations, called tremor, that occur when molten rock or gases travel upward through underground channels? Professor Dr. Miriam Christina Reiss, a volcano seismologist at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), and her research group have traced these tremor signals beneath Tanzania’s Oldoinyo Lengai volcano….

Are Kids Still Looking for Careers in Tech?
Today’s high school students face an uncertain road ahead. AI is changing what skills are valued in the job market, and the Trump administration’s funding cuts have stalled scientific research across disciplines. Most professions seem unlikely to look the same in 10 years, let alone 50. Even students interested in STEM subjects are asking: What…
Melting ice is hiding a massive climate secret beneath Antarctica
Climate models have long predicted that global warming would weaken the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). Yet decades of measurements show little sign of this decline. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) have now uncovered a likely reason for the surprising stability. Their findings suggest that fresh, low-salinity water near the…
Hidden 5-mile wide asteroid crater beneath the Atlantic revealed in stunning 3D
Researchers from Heriot-Watt University have released striking images of an asteroid impact crater hidden deep beneath the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. These images confirm that the 9 km (~5.6 mile) wide Nadir Crater, lying about 300 meters (~1000 feet) below the ocean floor, was created when an asteroid slammed into Earth roughly 66 million…

Scientists finally spot hidden waves powering the Sun’s corona
Researchers have made a major leap in solar physics by finding the first direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves within the Sun’s corona. These elusive magnetic waves, first theorized in the 1940s, have long been suspected to play a key role in heating the Sun’s outer atmosphere. The findings, published on October 24 in…
Bytes over DNS – SANS Internet Storm Center
I was intrigued when Johannes talked about malware that uses BASE64 over DNS to communicate. Take a DNS request like this: label1.label2.tld. Labels in a request like this can only be composed with letters (not case-sensitive), digits and a hyphen character (-). While BASE64 is encoded with letters (uppercase and lowercase), digits and special characters +…
Witness History – GLP-1: A breakthrough for diabetes and obesity
Available for over a year In the 1980s, scientists made a discovery that would eventually lead to the development of drugs now used worldwide to treat diabetes and to help people manage obesity through weight loss injections. One of the key scientists behind this breakthrough was Svetlana Mojsov. She discovered that a hormone called GLP-1…
