Scientists Call for Urgent Action as Dangerous Amoebas Spread Globally. AI-Generated.
Scientists around the world are sounding the alarm about a largely unseen threat creeping into water systems, soil, and freshwater habitats: dangerous free‑living amoebae. These microscopic organisms have long existed in nature, but new research suggests that environmental shifts, inadequate monitoring, and weakened infrastructure are helping some species spread into regions once considered low‑risk, posing serious public health challenges.

Asteroid Apophis
Asteroid 99942 Apophis has captured the attention of scientists and the public since its discovery in 2004 due to the possibility, albeit small, of a future collision with Earth. With its estimated diameter of 340 meters (1,100 feet), Apophis is large enough to cause significant regional damage, and its trajectory initially suggested a potentially close encounter with Earth in 2029 and 2036. While updated calculations have ruled out these impacts, Apophis remains an object of study and concern, raising questions about what would happen if such an asteroid did hit our planet and how we can prepare for the possibility.

Dragon Horse. Content Warning.
Captain Swirski walks in the shadow of his ship, the ORP Dragoon, the one hundred and thirty-six meter, fastest-built destroyer of the southern hemisphere’s navy with a top speed of 30 knots.

Dragon Horse. Content Warning.
The first technique Aroon's grandfather teaches her is how to take a hit. The only way to strengthen a sword is to keep beating and beating the blade. His knee slams into her solar plexus, sucking all the air out of her lungs and squeezing enough tears out of her eyes to blur her vision in one swift move.

What if parallel dimensions overlapped merging realities into surreal hybrids?
The Fractured Veil The air in the CERN control room tasted of burnt coffee and ozone, monitors flickering under rows of harsh LEDs. Dr. Elara Thorne leaned over the central console, fingers flying across holographic displays as brane tension readings spiked into the red. String theory had predicted fluctuations—tiny, harmless brushes between our universe and adjacent membranes. But these weren't tiny.

What if ancient empires harnessed steam power centuries before industrialization?
The Bronze Piston Coal smoke hung thick over Alexandria's harbor, stinging eyes and blackening marble façades that once gleamed white under Mediterranean sun. In the shadow of the Pharos lighthouse—now crowned with a massive steam-driven beacon revolving on greased rails—workshops thundered day and night.

Dragon Horse. Content Warning.
They called the steed Aithon. He had wings at his sides, so he could walk upon water without sinking. Then, all his comrades were taken from him. He left the sky to search for them, soaring under the surface, the swim stripping away his feathers.
