XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) are two of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. Bitcoin remains far and away the most valuable, with a market cap of about $1.7 trillion. XRP at around $116 billion is just a small fraction of that, but that's still large enough to make it the fifth-largest cr

These “Living Rocks” Are Living It Up

You might think you’re looking at a bunch of mossy rocks, but you’re actually gazing at some of the world’s oldest living creatures—and they’re doing great.
Communities of microbes gobble up dissolved minerals in water and turn them into these solid, rock-like structures called microbialites. Researchers have found fossilized microbialites that are around 3.7 to 3.5 billion years old, which might represent the oldest organisms found on Earth.
Around a billion years after that, microbialites may have transformed our planet forever—researchers think tha

Earlier this week, Norway’s Norges Bank Investment Management backed all five of Metaplanet’s bitcoin-focused capital restructuring proposals ahead of the December 22 Extraordinary General Meeting, including plans for share buybacks, dividends, and new preferred share issuance to raise US$150 million from institutional investors.
This support from one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds highlights growing institutional interest in Metaplanet’s bitcoin accumulation model and its unconventional balance sheet plans.
Next, we’ll examine how Norges Bank’s endorsement and Metaplanet’s pu

Doomsday?
Already?
Wasn't the world supposed to end back in 2012?
Physicist Heinz von Foerster, who passed away in 2002, claimed back in 1960 in the "Science" publication that the world would end sometime in the 2020s, according to a report in Time Magazine.
And we are relatively close to his predicted date. What's more, at the start of 2025, the famous "Doomsday Clock" ticked closer to ultimate destruction.

See it: Stunning photos of 2025's last full moon — the cold moon

The final full moon of the year — a supermoon known as the cold moon — shone brightly across the world this week.
It follows two other supermoons this year: the harvest supermoon on Oct. 7 and the beaver supermoon on Nov. 5.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon being at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. The moon, as a result, will appear slightly larger and brighter than usual.
According to the Farmers’ Almanac, December’s full moon is known as the cold moon, “reflecting the frigid season.” The

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The world of crime and DNA has evolved significantly over the past decade, including the use of phenotyping to help solve cases.
In the Lowcountry, a 40-year-old cold case was solved recently with the help of new DNA testing.
WSAV reached out to Parabon NanoLabs, a company that does bioinformatic testing and genealogy testing to better understand how they are able to use their technology to help law enforcement.
Director of Bioinformatics Ellen Greytak told WSAV that they’re able to predict certain physical traits through phenotyping.

The raging debate in Washington D.C. over the rising cost of living was front and center at the Potrero Power Station on Friday as California U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff used an affordable housing complex there as the backdrop to announce legislation that he said would bring a housing construction boom similar to the one seen after World War II.
The 48-page legislation - a long-shot because it will need Republican support in order to pass - is called the Housing BOOM (Building Occupancy Opportunity for Millions) Act. It proposes a massive expansion of the 9% federal low-income housing tax credits u

Egypt found itself back on the international front pages in the second half of this year. The country played host to the Sharm el-Sheikh conference in October when US President Donald Trump rallied global and regional powers alike behind his ceasefire plan for the Gaza Strip. Shortly after, in November, Cairo invited world leaders to attend the spectacular opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum next to the pyramids.
Amid these eye-catching events, other domestic developments have received less attention. Most notable were Egypt’s parliamentary elections, with the first round held in Novembe

It was all smiles at Washington DC's Kennedy Centre as the leaders of the US, Mexico and Canada took the stage for the 2026 World Cup draw, even as trade tensions simmered in the background.
For Donald Trump, the brief interaction marked his first meeting with Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum, who leads the largest trading partner for the US.
While Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has already met with Trump several times, trade talks have been halted.
Trump this week signalled a willingness to leave in place a long-standing free trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Even as Russia once again made clear this week that it had no intention of pursuing genuine peace negotiations on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi to a red carpet treatment. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the Russian leader on Thursday with a handshake and hug on the tarmac, breaking diplomatic protocol. The sight was a reminder that Russia is far from a geopolitical pariah in important parts of the world, and

Micron to exit consumer memory business amid global supply shortage

Dec 3 (Reuters) - Memory chipmaker Micron Technology said on Wednesday it will exit its consumer business, as it doubles down on advanced memory chips used in artificial intelligence data centers amid a ‌global supply shortage of the essential semiconductors.
Shares of the company were down 2.6% in afternoon ‌trading.
Micron's move to dissolve its consumer business comes against a backdrop of worldwide strain in memory supply chains, with tight availability of semiconductors ranging from flash chips used in smartphones to

December's supermoon lit up the night sky across the world on Thursday, Dec. 4, marking the last full moon of 2025.
The world witnessed the December full moon at its peak around 6:14 p.m. ET.
This month's full moon was a supermoon, according to NASA, making it appear 30% brighter and up to 14% larger than usual. Supermoons happen when a new moon or a full moon is at its closest to Earth all month, according to NASA. The phenomenon is known as "perigee."
While the moon peaked on Dec. 4, it will still look bright and beautiful on Friday, Dec. 5, and look full for several days after it peaks.

JPMorgan **** ysts say the near-term direction of Bitcoin’s price now depends less on miner behavior and more on the financial resilience of Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, even as mining pressure and market volatility persist.
In a report led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the bank identified two forces currently weighing on Bitcoin. The first is a recent decline in Bitcoin’s network hashrate and mining difficulty.
The second is the growing market focus on Strategy’s balance sheet and its ability to avoid selling its Bitcoin holdings during the ongo

European country known for stunning women suffers drought of men — forcing would-be brides to ‘hire’ husbands for housework

These women were forced to enact a special “man-date.”
A nationwide shortage of men in Latvia has increasingly forced women to hire “husbands for an hour” to help with their household chores.
According to a recent report by Eurostat, Latvia boasts 15.5% more women than men – over three times the average rate in the European Union, according to local media. Meanwhile, over the age of 65, there are twice as many women as men, per the World Atlas.

(Bloomberg) -- BlackRock Inc.’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded its longest streak of weekly withdrawals since debuting in January 2024, in a sign that institutional appetite for the world’s largest cryptocurrency remains subdued even as prices stabilize.
Investors yanked more than $2.7 billion from the exchange-traded fund over the five weeks to Nov. 28, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. With an additional $113 million of redemptions on Thursday, the ETF is now on pace for a sixth straight week of net outflows.

Pandas and ping-pong: Macron ending China visit on lighter note

An ancient dam, pandas and ping-pong: French leader Emmanuel Macron concluded his fourth state visit to China on Friday, striking a more relaxed note in the city of Chengdu after tough discussions on Ukraine and trade with his counterpart Xi Jinping a day earlier.
Far from the imposing Great Hall of the People in Beijing where the two leaders held talks, Xi and First Lady Peng Liyuan showed Macron and his wife Brigitte around the centuries-old Dujiangyan Dam, a World Heritage Site set against the mountainous landscape of Sichu

Scientists document over 16,000 footprints in the world’s most extensive dinosaur tracksite

A high-traffic “dinosaur freeway” may have once stretched across a shoreline in what is now Bolivia. Traveling along this busy route were theropods — three-toed, bipedal meat-eating dinosaurs, which left behind thousands of fossil footprints. Paleontologists have now described their tracks for the first time, offering a rare glimpse into dinosaurs’ movements through their habitat.
Scientists recently counted 16,600 theropod tracks — more than any other trackway site — at the Carreras Pampas tracksit

Suspect arrested in Jan. 6 pipe bomb case, ending 5-year hunt

The FBI announced Thursday that it had arrested Virginia man Brian Cole Jr. for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the headquarters of both the Republican and Democratic national committees the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, concluding a nearly five-year hunt that had vexed authorities and spawned numerous conspiracy theories.
“We solved it,” FBI Director Kash Patel said at a news conference, adding that “the American public and the world will learn even more information” when Cole has “his day in

The Bennu asteroid, a ******* e rock not too far from Earth that is rich in carbon, continues to be a trove of information for scientists keen to learn about how life may have begun in our solar system.
More than two years ago, a robotic ******* ecraft dropped off a delivery of rocky samples from the surface of Bennu. The material has been a gift to the world's researchers, who soon found signs that asteroids that collided with Earth billions of years ago may have given rise to life on Earth.

On the windswept hills overlooking Turkey's vast southeastern plains, new archaeological discoveries are revealing how life might have looked 11,000 years ago when the world's earliest communities began to emerge.
The latest finds -- a stone figurine with stitched lips, carved stone faces and a black serpentinite bead with expressive faces on both sides -- offer clues about Neolithic beliefs and rituals.
"The growing number of human sculptures can be read as a direct outcome of settled life," Necmi Karul, the archaeologist leading the dig at Karahan Tepe, told AFP.

The government of Nicolás Maduro claims to have millions of troops, enough military power and an efficient anti-aircraft system to counter a possible armed attack by the United States amid accusations that Venezuela’s political leadership leads a “terrorist” drug trafficking cartel.
But does the Maduro administration have enough money to pay for and endure the consequences of a long-term war with the United States after years of economic crisis? Experts doub it, warning of the outcomes that an armed conflict would have in one of the most troubled economies in the world.

Africa’s forests have turned from a carbon sink into a carbon source, according to research that underscores the need for urgent action to save the world’s great natural climate stabilizers.
The alarming shift, which has happened since 2010, means all of the planet’s three main rainforest regions — the South American Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Africa — have gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.
Human activity is the primary cause of the problem. Farmers are clearing more land for food production. Infrastructure projects and mining are ex

New WHO guidance signals major shift in obesity treatment

The World Health Organization on Monday released new guidance on GLP-1 medications for adults with obesity, recommending their long-term, continuous use when clinically appropriate. The medications covered include semaglutide (Wegovy), liraglutide (Saxenda) and tirzepatide (Zepbound).
The recommendations, published in the medical journal JAMA, emphasize that these medications alone are not a solution to treating the global obesity epidemic. Obesity is a chronic disease that needs lifelong care and is best treated with long-term GLP-

Most Americans say the world is getting more violent. What the data shows.

One source of good news — favored both by me and, apparently, venture capitalists — is what’s known as a “narrative violation.” A narrative violation occurs when everyone thinks one thing, but the actual evidence suggests the opposite.
And few narratives are more persistently violated than one common belief: “Violent crime is always going up.”
A 2023 survey from IPSOS of people in 30 countries found that 70 percent of respondents thought the world was becoming more violent and dangerous. Here in the US, majorities

DHS Secretary Noem says National Guard shooting suspect was 'radicalized' in the U.S.

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that authorities believe the suspect in the National Guard shooting was radicalized in the U.S. and that the asylum process for migrants would resume once the administration has dealt with a backlog of applications under new standards following the attack.
President Donald Trump said last week he would “permanently pause” migration from “third world countries” after the suspect in the shooting was identified as

Researchers in Spain have made a breakthrough that helps plants resist drought more effectively than their natural defenses.
According to HortiDaily, a team of researchers led by the Spanish National Research Council has developed a molecule called inverted cyanobactin (iCB) that mimics the plant hormone that regulates drought resistance, abscisic acid.
Extreme weather conditions like drought are threatening the global food supply, and the situation will only get worse as the planet continues to overheat.
According to the World Resources Institute, about 34% of global crop production — near
