A 58-year-old lecturer who had published no original work in 12 years, and who had spent years keeping the books at a friend's Subway sandwich shop, mailed a paper to the Annals of Mathematics on April 17, 2013. Just over a month later it was accepted: pairs of consecutive primes less than 70 million apart occur infinitely often.
13+ hour, 20+ min ago (342+ words) An obscure adjunct, working at a Subway while publishing nothing, solved a centuries-old problem that had defeated the world's elite mathematicians.

Slime mould has no brain, no neurons and no central control, yet when scientists placed food at 36 locations matching cities around Tokyo, it grew a network strikingly similar to the rail system — with comparable efficiency, cost and resilience
3+ day, 22+ hour ago (462+ words) A single-celled organism with no brain solved a transportation puzzle that took human engineers decades to perfect. Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A brainless yellow blob spread across a wet plate in a Japanese lab and, meaning nothing by it,…...
A data center in Denmark gives away heat that data centers often waste. It runs water from the city's heating network through its cooling units and into heat pumps that raise it enough to fill the radiators of 11,000 homes
5+ day, 13+ hour ago (616+ words) As data centers consume ever more power, one facility in Denmark shows how to turn a costly cooling problem into a heating solution for thousands of households. By Science Blog Editorial Team · Edited by Mal James Published September 7, 2026 · How we…...
In 1999, a Taylor, Texas Bland family deeded about 88 acres for parkland for $10; by 2025 that same ground had been sold for $10 million to a data-center developer despite the parkland deed
6+ day, 20+ hour ago (373+ words) A Texas family's nominal gift of parkland in 1999 became a $10 million data-center plot by 2025, raising questions about how the deed's conservation language disappeared along the way.

In 2022, a 17-year-old built a $300 thought-controlled prosthetic arm; unlike very expensive and invasive brain-controlled systems, his version reads brainwaves through non-invasive electrodes
1+ week, 2+ day ago (329+ words) One arm is a research-lab masterwork that reads a wearer's intent and, in some setups, lets them feel through it. Published September 4, 2026 · How we edit We are not clinicians, prosthetists, or biomedical engineers, and nothing here is medical guidance. This…...
A 75-year-old Kentucky farmer rejected $8 million for his 250-acre farm — more than four times what land sells for in his county. The data-centre developers came back with a new proposition: name your price. His answer was that there isn't one.

Meta is reportedly testing robots inside its data centres that can swap networking cables and restart servers—and one worker estimates a successful cable-swapping robot could automate up to 80 percent of some technicians’ workloads.
1+ week, 6+ day ago (751+ words) The reported robots range from button pressers to supervised cabling pilots. The 80 percent figure is one worker's conditional estimate, not a measured result or Meta staffing target.

A $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription could represent as much as $14,000 a month in equivalent API-priced usage if pushed to its limits, according to SemiAnalysis — a striking illustration of how heavily flat-rate AI plans can subsidise their biggest users
