LAS VEGAS — The bitcoin treasury play that lifted Strategy’s market cap past $80 billion is now being mimicked by meme stock companies, media firms, and multinational conglomerates. But Wall Street isn’t buying all the hype. This week, Trump Media announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to buy bitcoin, and GameStop revealed a $500 million…
Bitcoin 2025 brought together thousands of investors, builders, and believers for a showcase of crypto’s next chapter. MacKenzie Sigalos LAS VEGAS — At the world’s largest bitcoin conference this week on the Vegas Strip, the most consequential story wasn’t about bitcoin. Stablecoins, the dollar-pegged digital tokens now driving a full-scale financial and political shift in…
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – A team of physicists has embarked on a journey where few others have gone: into the glue that binds atomic nuclei. The resultant measurement, which was extracted from experimental data taken at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, is the first of its kind and will…
BYLINE: Jamie Oberdick Newswise — UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability causing it to bend and snap on itself made it nearly impossible to produce at all, let alone…
Newswise — Researchers Wooyoung Jin and Hyungyeon Cha from the Ulsan Advanced Energy Technology R&D Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER, President Chang-Keun Yi) have resolved a long-standing challenge in high-Ni cathode materials, a key component of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The team successfully reidentified the location of residual Li compounds,…
Jakub Porzycki | Nurphoto | Getty Images The SEC has formally dropped its lawsuit against Binance and founder Changpeng Zhao, bringing an end to one of the last remaining crypto enforcement actions brought by the agency.

The Science Newswise — A new analysis of data from collisions of small nuclei made of just one proton and one neutron—known as deuterons—with much larger gold nuclei provides fresh evidence that these small collisions generate drops of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The QGP is a soup of visible matter’s most fundamental building blocks. Using photons,…
Newswise — The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (Chairperson Kim, Yeung-Shik), has developed a technology that stably generates high photocurrent under natural sunlight to efficiently produce hydrogen. By simplifying previously complex multi-step processes, this advancement drastically reduces…
Newswise — The Contained Firing Facility (CFF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) recently marked a major milestone: its 200th explosive experiment. This milestone was achieved with a three-in-one event as shots 198, 199 and 200 were conducted simultaneously. In these hydrodynamic experiments, known as “shots,” researchers observe how test materials move in the microseconds after…
BYLINE: Chris Patrick Read this story in the SLAC News Center. Newswise — Catalysts facilitate crucial chemical reactions in nature and industry alike. In a subset of them, catalytic activity is triggered by light. For example, when iron pentacarbonyl – a molecule in which a central iron atom is surrounded by five carbon monoxide groups…
