Radiation fruit: How 1950s'gamma gardens' created today's grapefruit But don't worry: Grapefruits can't hurt you.

Around 1900 when this photo was taken, nearly all grapefruits were yellow. The popular Rio red grapefruit wasn't developed until 1984. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week.

In such settings, the inverse scattering transform (IST) of Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell, and Segur [2] has enjoyed a rich and successful history, and is now the standard theoretical framework for deriving reduced-order evolution equations for soliton dynamics. Although these derivations are traditionally of an analytical - rather than data-driven - nature, recent work has employed the IST formalism as a tool for experimental data analysis, using the technique to analyze soliton content from empirical measurements [8, 15, 24]. Moreover, recent approaches using alternative parameterization techniques have demonstrated that the learning of reduced-order, interpretable equations of motion for solitons is tenable in a data-driven setting [6, 26, 27]. Despite the success of this recent work, however, little effort has been devoted to developing a data-driven modeling approach based on the IST itself, most likely due to the fact that the framework is fundamentally problem-specific. In this paper, we address the question of whether effective soliton dynamics can be inferred directly from observed scattering data (as opposed to being derived or approximated analytically).

What are Russia's gains from the Iran war? 'We are not losers; we are winners' But the calm is deceptive. Two soldiers scour the skies, hands firmly gripping anti-aircraft guns mounted on pick-up trucks parked on a small, dilapidated bridge on a tributary of the Pripyat River. Danger is all around, both in the surrounding land, which still carries the legacy of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear disaster, with pockets of intense radioactive contamination, and above, where Russian drones and missiles launched from just across the border in Belarus, a short distance to the north, regularly pass overhead. The area is known as the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), a restricted area of approximately 30km (19 miles) in diameter, comparable in size to Luxembourg, established to contain the spread of contamination. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, briefly occupying the CEZ and the surrounding area, large swaths of it have become militarised, adding another layer of restriction to an already tightly controlled and hazardous environment. Yet despite the CEZ's many dangers, four decades on from the Chornobyl disaster, small communities of scientists, elderly returnees and soldiers have carved out lives among its abandoned buildings, while wildlife thrives in the surrounding forests.

For Americans, the pressing question may soon shift from geopolitics to personal preparedness, including where the nearest fallout shelter is located and how to protect themselves if tensions escalate further. There is currently no public list of active shelters available for everyday Americans, since most are defunct or privately owned. But survival expert and Air Force veteran Sean Gold has built his own fallout shelter map, revealing that the vast majority of these radiation bunkers are scattered throughout America's largest cities. The map can be found on his survival guide website, TruePrepper .

Could AI Data Centers Be Moved to Outer Space? Massive data centers for generative AI are bad for the Earth. Data centers are being built at a frantic pace all over the world, driven by the AI boom. These facilities consume staggering amounts of electricity. By 2028, AI servers alone may use as much energy as 22 percent of US households.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 is Feb. 25 A single collision could cause a cascading effect in orbit. Elon Musk's plan to launch millions of AI satellites could be disastrous for the planet. At the start of the month, Elon Musk announced that two of his companies -- SpaceX and xAI -- were merging, and would jointly launch a constellation of 1 million satellites to operate as orbital data centers. Musk's reputation might suggest otherwise, but according to experts, such a plan isn't a complete fantasy. However, if executed at the scale suggested, some of them believe it would have devastating effects on the environment and the sustainability of low Earth Earth orbit.

The interstellar space rock shows off the illuminating effects of its brush with the sun. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. After months of unprecedented observations, astronomers are bidding goodbye to the beloved comet 3I/ATLAS . First spotted in July 2025, the frigid, dusty space rock is only the third known interstellar object to pass through the solar system, offering researchers the rare opportunity to examine a visitor from deep space. Among other discoveries, scientists have since confirmed that the interstellar comet is the fastest ever recorded as well as covered in ice volcanoes --and definitely not extraterrestrial tourists .
