Alef Aeronautics has unveiled the first video of its flying car prototype, Model Zero, which features vertical takeoff capabilities, reminiscent of scenes from Hollywood sci-fi. Unlike traditional flying cars resembling helicopters, the Model Zero is designed to look like a conventional car and can ascend vertically, similar to drones, without needing a runway. The prototype recently conducted test flights in San Mateo, California, demonstrating its ability to transition from driving on roads to hovering over parked cars. Key features include eight hidden rotors for vertical lift and a design that allows the body to rotate 90 degrees for flight. The…

A tropical cyclone system, downgraded from Tropical Cyclone Alfred, has caused significant flooding and power outages in Brisbane, Australia, and surrounding areas. Though it was expected to be the first cyclone to hit near Brisbane since 1974, it weakened early on Saturday, with winds dropping below 63 kph (39 mph). Heavy rainfall is expected to lead to flash and river flooding, raising concerns among authorities. The storm has resulted in over 330,000 homes and businesses losing power across Queensland and New South Wales, with the Gold Coast being particularly affected. Many residents have experienced damage to their property, with reports…

A new study led by MIT scientists confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is recovering, attributing this progress to global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This research significantly enhances the statistical reliability regarding ozone recovery, proving it as a direct consequence of reduced ozone-depleted substances rather than merely due to weather fluctuations. Susan Solomon, a key author of the study, emphasized that they have quantified a 95% confidence in the recovery of ozone holes, marking it as a major environmental success. The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere approximately 15-30 kilometers above Earth, protects life by absorbing…

Pamela Alcantara, a 26-year-old woman from New York, was found dead inside a suitcase near the Yonkers-Bronx border just days after she asked her mother to pray for her. She was reported missing after last being seen at home early Sunday morning, and her family noted that she was in the process of moving out of her apartment shared with her ex-partner. Concerns about her safety arose from reports that her ex-partner may have monitored her activities, including allegedly placing a recording device in her car and bedroom. The family expressed distress over her disappearance, mentioning that Alcantara had often…

Evidence obtained by The Guardian indicates that over 500 individuals may have been starved or tortured to death and are likely buried in unmarked graves at a site near Khartoum, Sudan. A recently discovered detention center at a base formerly controlled by the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) revealed horrific accounts from survivors who reported repeated torture and starvation. Satellite images confirmed that graves appeared only after the RSF took over the base in April 2023, coinciding with the onset of the ongoing civil war, which has led to a humanitarian crisis, displacing over 14 million people and causing widespread…

The People’s Union USA has initiated a week-long boycott against Amazon, following a previous 24-hour economic boycott on February 28. The boycott aims to raise awareness about Amazon’s treatment of workers and the impact on small businesses. Founder Schwartz described the effort as a “calculated strike” rather than a traditional boycott, encouraging supporters to abstain from purchasing not only from Amazon’s main site but also from its subsidiaries, including Whole Foods, Prime Video, and others. The movement has garnered support from celebrities like John Leguizamo and Bette Midler, while the organization emphasizes that it is not politically affiliated but rather…

Magomed Ankalaev, known for his reserved nature, has recently adopted a bolder approach ahead of his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 313. Despite his history of staying humble, Ankalaev made a provocative remark about Pereira’s past with alcoholism, suggesting he signed his “death certificate” with their matchup. When the two fighters faced off at a press conference, Ankalaev continued to taunt Pereira, saying he planned to dominate him and implied that Pereira might return to his previous job at a tire shop if he lost. Ankalaev emphasized that the delay in getting a title shot, combined with the growing…

Norfolk Southern has announced that repairs are underway for the severely damaged Old Fort Loop railroad line in Fort Fort Fort, North Carolina, which connects Asheville to other regions for freight and passenger travel. This historic line was built largely by Black incarcerated workers, many of whom died during its construction in the late 1800s. Following damage from Tropical Storm Helen, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has been assured that the railway will be reconstructed, vital for both passenger rail service and freight transport in the area. During a recent meeting, NCDOT Railway Director Jason Orsner highlighted the…

Last month, new data highlighted Earth’s warming, as February 2025 recorded a significant low in sea ice coverage, showing a concerning trend amid rising global temperatures. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Services reported that sea ice around the poles hit its lowest levels since records began in 1979. Samantha Burgess, the strategic lead for climate at Copernicus, emphasized that the melting sea ice contributes to global warming and has detrimental effects on the environment and the communities dependent on it. Copernicus’s assessments are based on extensive global data collection, and the recent analysis indicated that January 2025 was the…
