Google has been ordered to halt construction at two sites in Finland after clearing around 250,000 trees for a planned data center. The entire 815-acre area, which was forested just months ago, has now been cleared. Finland’s Licensing and Supervision Authority (LVV) issued stop-work orders for the Muhos and Otanmäki sites, finding that the trees had been cut down before the required environmental impact assessment was completed. Google Finland manager Antti Järvinen apologized, saying the com…

White auroras are a rare, mesmerizing sight in the far north, including Finland, Norway, and Alaska. They form when low-energy particles collide with oxygen high in the atmosphere. ThinkNova

Researchers think Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night may depict the sky before dawn on July 22, 1889, from his window at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Long thought to be an imaginative vision from mid-June, the painting has prompted a new interpretation based on computer modelling and historical astronomical records. The crescent moon, Venus and the Hyades star cluster match their positions in the painting, suggesting Van Gogh reworked a scene he witnessed. June l…

Jackfruit is the largest fruit that grows on a tree, with some weighing more than 40 kg. Its seeds contain jacalin, a natural protein that may hinder HIV from attaching to cells. Early lab research points to potential antiviral effects, but studies in humans are needed to determine whether it works. ThinkNova

Birds may be able to detect Earth’s magnetic field through light-sensitive proteins in their eyes. Migratory birds can cover thousands of miles with astonishing precision. One possible explanation lies in Cry4 (cryptochrome 4), a protein found in the retina. When blue light hits the eye, it triggers a quantum process in Cry4 known as the radical pair mechanism. Because this process responds to the direction and strength of Earth’s magnetic field, it may give birds an internal compass. Researc…

This is how your ear processes music. Inside the cochlea, the organ of Corti converts sound into signals in real time. Each glowing cell represents a hair cell. High notes stimulate cells near the base of the spiral, while low notes travel farther toward its tip. Every element in this animation responds to the same pitches a real ear would detect, making the movement follow the music as it plays. The hair cells are enlarged and shown in smaller numbers for clarity: the animation features 300, …
