A moth outbreak has killed off forests across Siberia, now the flammable wood is causing wildfires

In a catastrophic turn of events, a diminutive moth has decimated vast stretches of Siberian forest, transforming them into a fire hazard of monumental proportions. The Siberian silk moth’s caterpillar stage ravages tree needles, resulting in widespread die-offs over several years. Major outbreaks have persisted over the decades, decimating millions of hectares, and now this

Pokee AI Releases Pokee-Isaac 28B: A 10M-Token Context Agentic Model Built to Run Inside the Customer Boundary

Long-horizon agents accumulate context faster than they resolve tasks. Every tool output, observation, and intermediate reasoning step stays in the window, and the two capabilities that matter — holding that context and staying coherent across it — have so far been available almost exclusively from cloud endpoints. That excludes regulated industries, public-sector institutions, and on-device

Meet Costa Rica’s tiny ‘coffee frog,’ a nocturnal species found living among coffee shrubs

A remarkable discovery in Costa Rica reveals a diminutive nocturnal frog inhabiting the coffee plantations. Measuring less than four centimeters, this unique species relies on small insects for food and foliage for protection. Essential to its lifecycle are local streams, which face risks from pesticide runoff. This finding not only emphasizes the rich biodiversity in

Scientists uncover the aluminium shield helping a tiny crustacean survive

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have identified a deep-sea crustacean, the amphipod Hirondellea gigas, which uses aluminum to survive in the Mariana Trench, one of Earth’s most extreme environments. Its unique aluminum-coated exoskeleton helps resist calcium dissolution under immense pressure, allowing it to thrive where life was previously deemed impossible. This remarkable adaptation showcases innovative

In 1876, Alexander Bell patented the telephone, but an Italian inventor built one earlier

In the 1800s, Antonio Meucci invented an innovative voice-transmission device known as the Telettrofono. Unfortunately, due to financial struggles and a lapsed patent, he was unable to secure recognition for his invention. This vacuum paved the way for Alexander Graham Bell to patent the telephone in 1876, igniting a lengthy legal battle. In 2002, the
