In 2010, the New York City-based restaurant Serendipity 3 revealed its $69 hot dog, winning the Guinness World Record for the world's most expensive hot dog. Served on a toasted pretzel roll with truffle butter and covered in foie gras, the award-winning hot dog made the restaurant's $18 cheeseburger seem like a steal. That's the point, says Professor Damon Centola of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

Euplotes gigatrox, a new species of ciliate collected from a seawater filtration system on the Caribbean Island of Curaçao, can transform into a cannibalistic ‘supergiant,’ raising new questions about the complexity of life at the microscopic scale.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a previously hidden druggable site in a cancer-related protein that could open the door toward the development of a new generation of more precise cancer drugs.
Study potentially opens a new route to more selective cancer drug design
A newly engineered catalyst overcomes key obstacles that have long limited ammonia as a clean fuel for heavy industry. A newly developed single-atom platinum catalyst can ignite ammonia at about 200°C (392°F) and sustain stable combustion at 1,100°C (2,012°F) while producing very little NOx. The breakthrough could provide carbon-free, high-grade heat for industries such as [...]
Uno studio pubblicato su ScienceDaily e condotto dal team di Burton Craig ha dimostrato che consumare anguria ogni giorno per due settimane apporta significativi benefici cardiovascolari. L'alto contenuto di l-citrullina presente nel frutto viene convertito dai reni in l-arginina, un amminoacido che stimola la produzione di ossido nitrico. Questa molecola funge da potente vasodilatatore naturale, riducendo la pressione arteriosa e migliorando l'elasticità dei vasi. Inoltre, l'accumulo di licopene registrato nei tessuti ha portato a un netto abbassamento della proteina C-reattiva, confermando un marcato effetto antinfiammatorio per l'organismo.
An international team of researchers including our Department of Geography has discovered a vast geological structure hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The findings are published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
University of Turku research developed porphyrin-based polymer films combining energy storage and color-changing functions for potential smart window applications.
Residents in Monterey Park, California, became the first in the US to vote on a permanent ban on datacenters on Tuesday, and early results indicate a resounding victory for the prohibition.
While many cities and counties have already passed temporary or indefinite moratoriums via their local governments, Monterey Park would be the first to do so through a ballot initiative.

Young guppies who were able to see and interact with live fish developed larger brains than guppies who only saw other fish on a screen. This is shown in a new study from Stockholm University, published in Biology Letters. The findings suggest that live social interaction in real time may be important for brain development.
Google has applied for an experimental mosquito release permit to deploy millions of non-biting southern house mosquitoes that it has infected with the bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, in an effort to reduce mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus.
Classified briefings and some cybersecurity services have ceased.
Voting signage as a voter casts their ballot at a polling location inside City Hall during a primary election in San Francisco, California, US, on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. The vote tabulation generally takes days to complete in California elections, because a mail-in ballot is valid as long as it was postmarked on Election Day and received no later than seven days after the election.

Il rover sovietico Lunokhod 1, sbarcato sulla Luna nel 1970 e ritenuto disperso dal 1971, è stato localizzato grazie alle immagini della sonda LRO della NASA. Sfruttando le nuove coordinate, un team guidato da Tom Murphy ha puntato un raggio laser verso il veicolo dall'osservatorio Apache Point, ricevendo un fortissimo segnale di ritorno dal catadiottro di bordo. Lo specchio passivo, conservatosi in condizioni migliori rispetto a quello del gemello Lunokhod 2, non richiede elettricità e permetterà di misurare la distanza Terra-Luna con precisione millimetrica, aprendo la strada a nuovi test sulla relatività di Einstein e sullo studio del nucleo lunare.
