GORDON SONDLAND: No more 'restraint': Europe must stand with America on Iran
The United States and Israel are doing the heavy lifting. On February 28, joint American-Israeli strikes—Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion—eliminated Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran’s defense minister, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. American service members and Israeli pilots are in harm’s way at this very moment, absorbing retaliatory strikes so that the free world does not have to live u...
5 VIRGINIA CONGRESSMEN: Democrats are rejecting voters to gerrymander our state
Virginia voters settled the redistricting question in 2020.

Predicting the Sun's Most Violent Outbursts
In the first four days of February this year the Sun unleashed six powerful X-class flares in rapid succession including an X8.1 that was the strongest in several years. And now, scientists have announced a new forecasting system that could give us up to a year's warning before the most dangerous solar storms arrive. The extraordinary thing is that the system has already been proved right by eruptions nobody knew about until after the forecast was made.

How Long Do Civilisations Last?
In 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi sat down to lunch with colleagues and asked a question that has haunted astronomers ever since. If the universe is so vast, so old, and so full of stars, where is everybody? A new study has turned that question around and come up with an answer that is quietly unsettling. If intelligent life is common in the Galaxy, the mathematics suggests it cannot last very long.

Does a New Theory Finally Explain the Mysteries of the Planet Saturn?
"Saturn and some of its 274 moons are pretty weird," writes Smithsonian magazine: [Saturn moon] Titan has strangely few impact craters, Hyperion is tiny and misshapen, and Iapetus has a tilted orbit. What's more, planets tend to wobble along their rotational axes as they spin, like an off-kilter spinning top in the moments before it topples over. Formally called precession, scientists have long thought that Saturn's wobble rate should match Neptune's because they're probably gravitationally lin...

Equity Futures Slide, Oil And Gold Jump, But No Panic
Equity Futures Slide, Oil And Gold Jump, But No Panic The widely anticipated Sunday night open of futures trading is here, and it is a bit anticlimatic. Yes, futures are broadly lower, oil and gold are higher, but there is no panic, and as Bloomberg's Mark Cudmore writes, most non-energy moves are relatively contained and almost everything has pared back from the opening extremes. To wit, oil is up 8.5%. but it was up as much as 13% at the start of futures trading, so some profit...

The Toughest Animals in the Universe Just Got a New Job
They are the toughest animals on Earth and possibly the key to surviving on Mars. Tardigrades, the microscopic creatures nicknamed 'water bears', have survived the vacuum of space, the crushing pressure of the deep ocean and temperatures that would kill virtually anything else. Now a new study has put them to work as unlikely pioneers, testing whether the hostile soil of Mars could ever support life and the results are full of surprises.

The Comet From Another Star
A visitor from another star system has just had its portrait taken by a spacecraft on its way to Jupiter and the image is superb. Comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever discovered passing through our Solar System, has been captured in stunning detail by ESA's JUICE mission, revealing a glowing halo of gas, a sweeping tail, and hints of jets erupting from its ancient, icy heart. But the picture itself is just the beginning of the story.

Lenovo's robot concept can help you digitally sign documents (and maybe annoy coworkers)
Lenovo can make a robot, too. Alongside proof-of-concept foldable gaming PCs and modular laptops, it introduced the AI Workmate Concept at MWC 2026.

For now, it’s a proof of concept, musing on how to integrate voice commands and LLMs (large language models) into workplace settings. It's meant to sit on your des...

The Lenovo Legion Go Fold gaming handheld concept looks awkward but its versatility is endless
Lenovo already has a large roster of gaming handhelds. However, it seems there's always room for another because at MWC the company showed off an ambitious concept device based around a flexible OLED display. And while the whole setup looks ungainly, after getting my hands on it, I'm very intrigued by its adaptability. Now I'll be the first to admit that an 11.6-inch display feels oversized on a handheld that, in theory, is meant to be somewhat portable. That said, the beauty of the Legion Go Fo...
