Exclusive: How a defend-forward operation gave Ukraine’s SBU an edge over Russia
Russia had been trying to crack into Ukraine’s critical infrastructure networks long before the war began, and they still haven’t given up, says Illia Vitiuk, head of the cyber department at the Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU. His team responds to 12-15 serious cyberattacks every single day.

World Finally Reaches 'Tipping Point' For Solar Power, Study Suggests
After years of policymakers push-starting the solar power sector, its engines may finally be rolling on their own.
Researchers in the UK have put together three different models to track snowball events in technology and the economy, and the simulations suggest solar power is well on its way to becoming the world's main source of energy.

Hidden Chambers Found in Crumbling Pyramid 200 Years After Prediction
In 1836, Egyptologist John Shae Perring was excavating the Pyramid of Sahure (also known as Sahura) when he noticed a debris-filled passageway.
An expert on floor plans for these types of structures, he surmised there might be storage rooms beyond.
But it would take another nearly 200 years to finally confirm his suspicions.

Astrophysicists Put All Objects in Universe into One Pedagogical Plot
In a new paper, astrophysicists from Australian National University present an overview of the thermal history of our Universe and the sequence of objects (e.g., protons, planets, and galaxies) that condensed out of the background as the Universe expanded and cooled.

Oldest radio-wave explosion ever found could be used to weigh the universe, astronomers say
Astronomers traced a mysterious radio source to three merging galaxies 8 billion light-years away. Studying it could help uncover the universe's missing matter.

This fast radio burst took 8 billion years to reach Earth
The bright flash has cosmologists adjusting their models on how such intergalactic energy behaves.
