This tiny shrimp creates bubbles hotter than the sun’s surface
The pistol shrimp, also known as the snapping shrimp, creates bubbles hotter than the Sun's surface when its claw snaps shut, creating a cavitation bubble that briefly reaches temperatures of around 4,000–8,000 Kelvin (roughly 3,700–7,700°C), comparable to the Sun’s surface. The bubble expands rapidly before collapsing almost instantly, resulting in a powerful shockwave that can stun or kill nearby prey. The shrimp, found in warm oceans around the world, uses this technique to hunt or kill prey before eating it. The discovery of cavitation has led to numerous studies in engineering and medicine, with practical applications including improving technologies such as ultrasound and medical procedures.

Why Did The Japanese Yen Collapse In 2026? A Deep Dive Into The Currency's Historic Fall
The Japanese yen fell to a record low of 180 against the U.S. dollar in early 2026, marking a 25% decline from the previous year and triggering global market turbulence. The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) decision to maintain its negative interest rate policy, while the U.,S. Federal Reserve kept rates elevated, creating a yield gap that has led to massive capital outflows from yen-denominated assets. The fall was exacerbated by Japan's persistent trade deficit, reaching a record ¥20 trillion in 2025, as energy imports surged amid global price spikes. The collapse has had significant repercussions across global financial markets, including Asian stock markets and the dollar's strength against the yen making American exports less competitive. Economists are divided on whether the Bank ofJapan should raise rates to stabilize the yen, while others warn that doing so could trigger a debt crisis.

Taslima Nasreen Set to Make First Public Appearance in Kolkata After Two Decades
Taslima Nasreen, an exiled Bangladeshi author, is set to make her first public appearance in Kolkata in two decades for an anti-fundamentalism programme, where she is expected to recite poetry. The event, organised by the ruling BJP, has become a cultural marker of West Bengal's political transition under the new government. The BJP has portrayed Nasreen's return as an affirmation of free speech and secularism. However, the Left Front and Trinamool Congress have maintained that the decision to ask Nasreen to leave Kolkta in 2007 was based on law-and-order considerations. The organisers insist that the event is intended solely to celebrate literature and opposition to religious extremism.

Golf courses must plan ahead for the new normal of drought - Golf
Golf courses in Ireland are exempt from current hosepipe restrictions due to many courses with irrigation systems that are not supplied by public treated water networks. However, research by the Royal & Ancient indicates that about 28 per cent of golf courses in the UK use treated mains water for their irrigation requirements, reducing public supplies during periods of drought. These systems are expensive to install and maintain for larger clubs with significant membership and green-fee income. Smaller, predominantly rural clubs may be disproportionately affected by prolonged hosepipe bans, potentially resulting in the loss of playing surfaces that could take years to recover. The author suggests that Golf Ireland should consider a comprehensive national strategy to encourage sustainable irrigation, water storage and alternative water sources.

Athletes from the Class of 2021 also filed for an injunction, stating they would suffer irreparable harm without the decision. The NCAA president, Charlie Baker, has urged Congress to approve the Protect College Sports Act.

Labour’s Bev Craig is elected Greater Manchester mayor to succeed Andy Burnham
Labour Party candidate Bev Craig has been elected mayor of Greater Manchester, succeeding Andy Burnham who left to become Britain's prime minister. Craig won 66.3% of the votes in a runoff with anti-immigration party Reform UK's Sian Astley from the anti-immigrant party. Turnout in the voting was only 25%, the lowest in any of the four elections since the city became a directly elected mayor in 2017. Craig's victory is a significant boost for the center-left Labour Party, which was trounced by Reform UK in local council seats less than three months ago.
