Microsoft Announces Magma Foundation Model That Can Complete Multimodal Agentic Tasks
Microsoft researchers announced a new foundation model on Wednesday that can perform agentic functions. Dubbed Magma, the artificial intelligence (AI) model is pre-trained on a large volume of datasets across text, images, videos, as well as spatial formats. The Redmond-based tech giant said that Magma is an extension of vision-language (VL) models...

New Farm Fertilizer Could Remove CO2 from Air, Improve Soil Quality
Researchers have identified a method to accelerate carbon mineralisation using calcium silicates in farm fertilizers. The process could sequester billions of tons of CO2 while benefiting soil health. Unlike traditional magnesium silicates, calcium silicates react faster with CO2, making the approach more efficient. Scientists are exploring ways to ...

Synthetic Hexagonal Diamond Surpasses Natural Diamonds in Hardness and Stability
Scientists have successfully created a synthetic diamond with a hexagonal lattice, making it harder than natural diamonds. Developed using a process involving high-pressure heating of graphene, this diamond withstands up to 155 GPa and 1,100 degree Celsius, far exceeding the durability of natural diamonds. While unsuitable for jewellery, it holds p...

Ancient 2,000-Year-Old Sword Found in Poland Linked to Vandal Warrior Burial
A nearly 2,000-year-old sword has been discovered in Poland’s Jura region, believed to have belonged to a Vandal warrior. The double-edged spatha was intentionally broken into three pieces and placed on a cremation pyre as part of an ancient burial ritual. Experts at the Częstochowa Museum are currently analyzing the artifact, keeping the locati...

Scientists Detect Rising Microplastics in Human Brains, Study Raises Concerns
A study has found microplastics in human brains, with concentrations rising over recent years. Researchers suggest possible links to dementia, but some experts question the findings due to potential flaws in the analysis. While microplastics have been previously detected in human bodies, their impact on brain health remains unclear. Scientists call...

5,000-Year-Old Spanish Fortress Reveals Roman-Era Burial with Dagger
A 5,000-year-old fortress in Spain has revealed an unexpected Roman-era burial. The remains of a man, aged between 25 and 35, were found with a military dagger, suggesting he may have been a soldier. The site had been abandoned for over 2,500 years, leaving archaeologists puzzled over why he was buried there. Experts believe he could have been a de...

Astronomers Discover Largest Collection of Missing Link Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Astronomers have uncovered 2,500 dwarf galaxies containing active black holes using DESI data. This marks the largest-ever discovery of intermediate-mass black holes, with 300 new candidates identified. These findings could help scientists understand how black holes evolve from stellar-mass to supermassive sizes. The research, based on 410,000 gala...
