If reviving a 48,500-year-old zombie virus wasn’t bad enough, scientists managed to resurrect a roundworm (P. kolymaensis) frozen in Siberian permafrost for the past 46,000-years. It survived being buried 131.2-feet beneath the surface in a dormant state known as cryptobiosis, which enabled the roundworm to withstand high temperatures, as well as freezing or extremely salty conditions.
The missing OceanGate Titan submarine on a Titanic expedition is apparently controlled with a Logitech G F710 wireless gamepad, which retailed for $29.99 USD on Amazon before quickly selling out. Its location was last reported to be somewhere in the North Atlantic, approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, in a body of water that is as deep as 13,000 feet.
Atlantic Productions and Magellan Limited partnered to capture over 700,000 images of the RMS Titanic wreckage during the summer of 2022. Two high-tech submersibles, Romeo and Juliet, operated simultaneously to provide a third person view of the Digital Twining process, resulting in a photorealistic 3D model that lets you zoom out to see the entire structure for the first time.
Tim Cook welcomed customers today to Apple BKC, the first Apple Store in India. It’s located in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex and designed to be one of the most energy-efficient Apple Store locations in the world, with a dedicated solar array as well as zero reliance on fossil fuels for store operations.

Photographer Valter Binotto managed to captured a strange red ring of light that appeared in the skies above Italy for milliseconds. This phenomenon is known as an ELVE, which are massive red halos that occur high in the atmosphere at around 100 km (62 mi) above active thunderstorms. They can be as large as 400 km (248 mi) in diameter and last just a mere millisecond.

Two thieves planned a heist that involved cut a 24″ x 18″ hole through a coffee shop bathroom’s wall to gain access to the Apple Store stock room at Alderwood Mall in Washington. A total of 436 iPhones and other devices were stolen, calculated to be worth roughly $50,000 USD.
Here’s a fascinating look at the Jungfraujoch train station, the highest railway station in Europe. To reach this structure, guests have to take the Jungfraubahn cogwheel train, which takes around 30-minutes to ascend the 4,593-foot (1,400-meters) track. A stop at the Eismeer station helps visitors acclimate to the altitude before reaching the final destination at 11,362 feet (3,463 meters).
Artificial intelligence was used by Rowan Cheung to stabilize the infamous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film from 1967 and it has quite the stir on social media. We get a clearer look than ever of the large figure making its way through the Six Rivers National Forest in the northwestern corner of California.
Scientists at the University of Belgrade have developed LIQUID 3, an urban photo-bioreactor that contains water and microalgae to produce oxygen. Residents in Serbia are calling these bioreactors liquid trees, as they contain contains six hundred liters of water and works by using microalgae to bind carbon dioxide, thus producking pure oxygen through photosynthesis.
