No todos los materiales valiosos brillan ni se guardan en bóvedas. Algunos existen en minas remotas, reactores nucleares o aceleradores de partículas, y su precio depende tanto de su rareza como de lo difícil que resulta producirlos, aislarlos o mantenerlos estables. La antimateria sigue siendo el caso más extremo: CERN recuerda que solo puede producirse y almacenarse en cantidades minúsculas, mientras que el californio-252 se usa como potente fuente de neutrones en aplicaciones nucleares e industriales.
VSCO is taking on Adobe with a new Studio Pro editing app rolling out today on iOS and coming to macOS later this year, as Bloomberg reports. At launch, the app offers tools for batch editing, style matching from a reference image, and sharing images through VSCO Galleries. VSCO says more features are coming later, including support for RAW images, advanced export options, and additional advanced editing tools like adjusting image aspect ratios.
A press release says the app is made for managing high-volume editing projects, like "weddings, portraits, events, sports, school photography, and other large-scale photoshoots."
Most of us have used the sniff test to decide whether a slightly expired bottle of milk or a week-old box of takeout is still good to eat. But while the human nose can be quite astute, it doesn't always catch everything. Each year, millions of people in the U.S. are sickened by food-borne pathogens that thrive in undercooked or spoiled food.
Un ensayo del programa POWER de DARPA logró entregar más de 800 vatios durante 30 segundos a un receptor situado a 8,6 kilómetros del emisor láser. La prueba, realizada en Nuevo México, forma parte de una idea ambiciosa: crear redes capaces de enviar energía a distancia hacia zonas remotas, vehículos, drones o escenarios donde transportar combustible resulta lento, caro o peligroso.
The World Cup has always created unlikely heroes. In 2026, it is also turning them into social media sensations.
The latest example is Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias, better known as Vozinha, who entered Monday's match against Spain with roughly 50,000 Instagram followers and a 19-year career largely unknown to casual soccer fans. But after helping Cape Verde hold one of the tournament favorites to a 0-0 draw in the country’s first-ever World Cup match, his following has surged to 12 million.
His performance in the game gave the internet plenty to work with. The 40-year-old goalkeeper made seven saves against Spain, which took 27 shots but failed to score. Vozinha was named Man of the Match — and a digital darling.
Much of his early attention came from Brazilian streamer Casimiro “Cazé” Miguel and his platform CazéTV, a digital sports broadcaster that has the rights to all 104 World Cup games in Brazil. The channel, which has more than 31 million YouTube subscribers, is known for a more stream-like broadcast style built around fan participation.
During the match, Cazé noticed Vozinha's relatively small Instagram following and asked viewers to follow him. Vozinha went from about 50,000 followers before the match to more than 1 million shortly after the final whistle, and nearly 10 million less than 24 hours later — surpassing the likes of NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama and Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes.
His sudden fame has done more than boost his metrics. After the game, Vozinha went viral when he emotionally revealed that his mother couldn't attend due to visa issues and costs. Now his story has prompted the U.S. State Department to step in, saying it's working to help his family with visa services.
Vozinha may be the tournament's latest viral main character, but he is not the first. Before the tournament began, New Zealand defender Tim Payne became the subject of a similar campaign after Argentine influencer Valen Scarsini, also known as El Scarso, set out to find the World Cup's "least-known player." Payne had fewer than 5,000 Instagram followers at the time, but after Scarsini encouraged his audience to support him, Payne's following climbed to 6 million.
Australia's Kai Trewin also saw his profile rise after creator RubikayTV pushed a campaign to make him "the Cristiano Ronaldo of the World Cup," helping his follower count jump from around 3,000 to more than 100,000. And Curaçao backup goalkeeper Trevor Doornbusch gained tens of thousands of followers after a shoutout from soccer influencer FiagoBall.
The trend clearly reflects how this World Cup is being distributed and watched. FIFA named TikTok its first-ever preferred platform for World Cup video content this year and reached a deal with YouTube allowing broadcasters to stream the first 10 minutes of every match live. Those deals have made the tournament more accessible to audiences who are following games through clips, livestreams, creator commentary, and social feeds as much as traditional broadcasts.
In this developing environment, a player does not need to be a household name before kickoff to become one by the final whistle. A great performance, a well-timed shoutout, or an organized fan push can quickly turn lesser-known players into some of the tournament’s most visible figures online.
Whether you're playing poker against a single opponent or find yourself in a bidding war over a home purchase with another prospective buyer, you are operating under conditions of imperfect information. You know what cards you're holding in the poker game, and you also know how much above the home's asking price you can afford, but you don't know your opponent's hand in the card game or how high the other home buyer is willing to go.
La mejor forma de encontrar tecnofirmas es buscando las que han sobrevivido durante más tiempo a sus creadores, según afirman en un trabajo de investigación.
The film sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) suffering from strange new spider mutations, including organic webbing. To figure out how to control — or maybe completely reverse — these incidents, Peter goes to the MCU's supreme expert in all things mutation: Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), aka the Incredible Hulk.
That's not the only team-up to look forward to in Brand New Day, though. Later in the trailer, Peter brings MJ (Zendaya) to Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), aka the Punisher, for safekeeping.
Speaking of MJ, she and Ned (Jacob Batalon) still don't remember Peter following the magical memory wipe at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, they're still very much part of Peter's life, as they're his neighbors. Based on a yarn wall in their apartment, Ned is very invested in finding out the true identity of Spider-Man... How long before he and MJ crack the case?
That's most of Spider-Man: Brand New Day's cast accounted for, but one face is conspicuously missing from the trailer: that of Sadie Sink. The Stranger Thingsstar has been cast in an undisclosed role, although she's rumored to be playing X-Menmainstay Jean Grey.
If that's the case, then Sink may be hiding in plain sight in the trailer as the villainous figure who is controlling people's minds and wreaking havoc across New York. Apparently, only Peter is immune to this villain's effects. Will he stop them in time? More importantly, will he and MJ find their way back to one another? Based on a too-brief swinging scene in the trailer, the answer seems like a yes.

Un trabajo publicado analizó bases de datos volcánicas, modelos tomográficos y simulaciones del flujo del manto para rastrear la relación entre grandes erupciones y estructuras profundas de la Tierra. El resultado apunta a que muchas de estas erupciones están vinculadas con plumas del manto que ascienden desde enormes regiones calientes situadas cerca de la base del planeta.
Nintendo of North America says it's aware of what's been described as a small third-party data breach affecting some of its employees.
"Nintendo’s systems have not been compromised," the company told Mashable in a statement, acknowledging that a third-party service was affected by an "issue."
Earlier this week, a hacking group calling itself ShadowByte$ posted a threat on a "well-known cybercrime forum," according to CyberNews. The group alleged it stole 859MB of internal corporate data from a third-party service called TinyPulse, which collects employee feedback for companies.
The stolen data reportedly includes the results of employee satisfaction surveys, private messages, and the names of Nintendo employees. According to a LinkedIn profile, TinyPulse is part of WebMD Health Services.
The hacking group reportedly issued a $2 million ransomware demand to prevent the release of the data. Per Kotaku, after failing to get results with Nintendo, the extortion group reportedly tried its luck with TinyPulse as well. However, Nintendo downplayed the sensitivity of the data, telling Mashable the alleged TinyPulse breach is "limited to internal survey content comprising a small subset of our employees."
We are aware of an issue involving TinyPulse, a third-party service used for internal employee surveys at Nintendo of America. Nintendo’s systems have not been compromised, and no personal customer or financial data has been accessed. The data involved is limited to internal survey content comprising a small subset of our employees, and most of the information dates back several years.
We appreciate our employees’ willingness to share their perspectives, take all feedback seriously, and take action when needed. We are working with the service provider to address the issue.
In recent years, ransomware-as-a-service tools have made it easier for bad actors — even those without sophisticated coding or hacking skills — to obtain sensitive data from companies and individuals.
Mashable reached out to WebMD Health Services about the alleged TinyPulse data breach, and we'll update this story if we receive more information.
