A recent study tracked hundreds of soccer fans until their favorite team reached the final of a tournament. Their stress levels skyrocketed, and their heart rates jumped too. You might think you are, but your body is going to have to be prepared to put in some work--especially if your favorite team makes it. Research shows that watching high-pressure matches can raise your heart rate, increase your stress levels, and put extra strain on your cardiovascular system. According to a recent study from researchers at Bielefeld University in Germany, fans' physiological stress increases by about 41 percent during a soccer final compared to a normal day.

Billed as the "world's first museum of AI arts," Dataland uses wearables and troves of material from the Amazon to merge nature, biometrics, and art. "I think we are literally in a renaissance," says the artist Refik Anadol, in a characteristically optimistic comment, when asked how he sees this moment in art history, with artificial intelligence ascendant yet controversial as a medium. "We just don't have a name for it yet." Anadol, known for technological installations that probe the relationship between humans and machines, has reason to be happy. On June 20, Dataland, the cutting-edge downtown Los Angeles gallery he cofounded with studio partner Efsun Erkılıç, opened its doors to an eager public.

England and Norway players will face off under extreme and dangerous levels of heat stress, scientists say, thanks to a Wet Bulb Index of nearly 90 F. For Norway's national men's soccer team, Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against England will be a first in more ways than one. As the Scandinavian side prepares for the biggest match of its history, it will also face conditions almost unimaginable back home: the punishing combination of South Florida heat, humidity, and blazing sunshine that scientists warn can push the human body to its limits. South Florida's mix of strong sun, hot-air temperature, and high humidity--boosted by a plume of dusty air from the Sahara desert sweeping across the Atlantic through the state--will put the northern European players under a level of heat stress rarely experienced in their native countries. Scientists quantify this heat stress by calculating the WetBulb Globe Temperature. On top of air temperature, the index takes into account humidity, which limits evaporation of sweat from the skin; wind, which can act as a coolant; and solar intensity, as sunshine directly raises individuals' skin and core temperatures.

South Korean computer chip maker SK Hynix has raised $26.5bn (£19.8bn) in its New York share offering, marking the largest ever listing by a foreign firm in the US. The company, a key supplier to artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant Nvidia, said on Thursday that it had sold 177.9 million American depositary shares for $149 each. The shares are set to begin trading on Friday on the Nasdaq. In May, SK Hynix saw its market value top $1tn in its home country, lifted by the boom in demand for AI chips. Its share price has more than tripled in South Korea this year, which along with Samsung Electronics has helped boost the benchmark Kospi index by more than 70% over the same period.

A Ghanaian social media influencer known as Abu Trica, whose real name is Frederick Kumi, has been extradited to the US to face trial for allegedly running a romance scam that defrauded elderly Americans of over $8m (£5.9m). He denies all the charges against him. Prosecutors said he used AI tools to create fake online identities, targeting victims through social media and dating sites, earning their trust then extorting their money. Kumi was flown to the US on Thursday and faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Kumi's lawyer, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, told the BBC he went to court on Thursday to stop the extradition before learning a short while later that Kumi had in fact already been extradited on board a Delta Airlines flight.

Figure caption, Ukraine's military has shared video of a naval drone strike on a Russian tanker Ukraine's military has intensified its attacks near Russian-annexed Crimea, following up strikes on Russia's land corridor to the peninsula by targeting maritime supply routes as well. Ukraine's drone force commander Robert Brovdi, also known as Magyar, says at least 25 ships have been hit and set on fire over the past four days in the Sea of Azov, the inland sea linked to the Black Sea by the Kerch Strait. Such losses in so short a time are a clear blow to Russia's naval capability as well as Vladimir Putin's guarantee of maintaining fuel supplies. These attacks appear to be the latest phase of Ukraine's self-declared logistics lockdown which aims to choke off supplies and routes into and out of occupied Crimea.

Why Do Some Soccer Players Cut the Heels Off Their Cleats? An image of Portugal forward Pedro Neto's cleats at the World Cup has reignited a practice among some soccer players: modifying their cleats to relieve heel discomfort. During this year's World Cup, one very peculiar image caught the attention of fans and commentators: Portuguese forward Pedro Neto played a match with the back of his cleats cut off, right above the heel. The modification was intended to relieve pressure on a particularly sensitive area of his foot. Although the image went viral, it's not new.
