Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that almost all Ukraine's grain was transported to the EU countries. Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Wednesday, Putin warned that an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe may arise in the world because the West exports most of the Ukrainian grain to its countries, and not to the countries in need in Africa. "All, almost a

Russian military correspondents report amazing things about the mental attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the attack on Kherson. In particular, on the Snigirevsky sector of the front, during another sortie from Kiselevka in the direction of Blagodatny, independent soldiers repeatedly rose to their full height without artillery cover, stupidly attacked from forest plantations across the

There's a new hidden cost on top of the $799 price tag for the iPhone 14 , at least for those who want to travel around the world. While going over all the new features in the iPhone 14 lineup on Wednesday, Apple snuck in a little detail that was easy to miss: These new phones won't come with physical SIM card trays anymore— well, not in the United States. Going forward, you'll have to rely entir
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are here, and they're very different from the regular iPhone 14 models . The notch on top of the display is gone , replaced by a pill-shaped "Dynamic Island." Apple calls it that because it does more than just sit there. It's an animated thingy that adapts to different activities, showing you notifications and other information about what's happening on you

We've got new evidence to support that

Thwaites Glacier, a vast icy structure on the coast of West Antarctica, is ominously nicknamed the “Doomsday” glacier because it contains enough water to raise global sea levels by several feet, a change that would cause unpredictable and deleterious effects around the world.

All magnets—from the simple souvenirs hanging on your refrigerator to the disks that give your computer memory to the powerful versions used in research labs—contain spinning quasiparticles called magnons. The direction one magnon spins can influence that of its neighbor, which affects the spin of its neighbor, and so on, yielding what are known as spin waves. Information can potentially be transm

It challenges the current view that such procedures emerged alongside farming some 10,000 years ago.
Scientists have identified a new species of long-extinct otter in Ethiopia that was the size of a modern lion. Weighing an estimated 200 kilograms, or 440 pounds, it is the largest otter ever described; it would have rubbed elbows, and possibly competed for food, with our much smaller ancestors when it lived alongside them 3.5 million to 2.5 million years ago. A paper describing the animal just ap
