Iranian Students Protest as Trump Weighs Military Action

What happened: Yesterday, students at multiple Iranian universities staged anti-government protests and memorial sit-ins, marking 40 days since last month's crackdown killed thousands. Verified footage shows hundreds marching at Sharif University in Tehran, chanting anti-regime slogans, with similar rallies reported in Mashhad and clashes erupting between protesters and pro-government Basij forces.
Why it matters: The protests signal persistent dissent despite a crackdown that killed over 7,000 people according to human rights groups, while Iranian authorities claim only 3,100 deaths. This unrest unfolds as US-Iran nuclear talks progress but Washington deploys two aircraft carriers to the region, raising fears of military conflict that could disrupt global stability and energy markets.

Pakistan Strikes Afghan Border Camps; 18 Civilians Dead

What happened: Pakistan launched overnight strikes on seven militant camps along the Afghanistan border, targeting TTP and Islamic State affiliates after recent suicide bombings killed dozens. Afghan authorities report at least 18 civilians died, including women and children, when bombardment hit homes and a madrassa in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces.
Why it matters: The escalation follows a Shiite mosque bombing in Islamabad two weeks ago that killed at least 31 people and comes just days after Saudi-mediated efforts to ease tensions. The land border has been largely shut for months, disrupting trade and daily life for residents on both sides of the 2,600-kilometer frontier.

Two Studies Reveal Greenland's Ice is Softer and Melting Faster Than Expected

The discovery: Two studies published this week reveal Greenland's ice sheet is softer than assumed and melting more intensely. Radar imaging found plume-like convection structures in northern Greenland's deep ice, while analysis shows extreme melt events have increased sixfold since 1990, producing 82.4 gigatons of meltwater per decade.
Why it matters: Greenland holds 10% of Earth's freshwater and could raise sea levels by 24 feet if fully melted. Meltwater production has increased 63% since 1990, with seven of the 10 most extreme melt events occurring since 2000, and projections suggest threefold increases by century's end under high emission scenarios.

What happened: Wikipedia is blacklisting Archive.today and removing over 695,000 links across 400,000 pages after the archive service allegedly weaponized its CAPTCHA page to launch a DDoS attack against blogger Jani Patokallio in January and altered archived webpage snapshots, making it unreliable.
Why it matters: If you use Wikipedia for research, hundreds of thousands of citation links are being replaced with alternatives like Internet Archive or original sources, ensuring you're directed to reliable archives rather than a compromised service that hijacked users' computers and manipulated content.

HKU Engineers Find Physics Principle That Breaks Sound Absorption Limits
Center 100%
The breakthrough: HKU researchers led by Professor Nicholas Fang discovered duality symmetry, a fundamental principle enabling ventilated structures to absorb over 86% of sound across frequencies from 300 Hz to 6000 Hz while allowing airflow. The team designed two connected acoustic chambers that trap sound through destructive interference, published their findings in Nature Communications, and challenged traditional theoretical limits.
Why it matters: This breakthrough solves the longstanding trade-off between ventilation and noise control, enabling quieter buildings, improved aircraft engine noise reduction, and better engineering damping solutions. The new design approach and Figure of Merit provide practical tools for creating comfortable, well-ventilated spaces without sacrificing acoustic performance.

Nobel Laureate's Device Harvests Drinking Water from Dry Air Without Electricity
Center 67%
Right 33%
What happened: Chemistry professor Omar Yaghi, who won the 2025 Nobel Prize, developed water-harvesting devices using metal-organic frameworks that extract drinking water from air with humidity below 20 percent. The shipping-container-sized units can produce up to 1,000 litres daily using only ambient solar energy, with field tests scheduled now in the Mojave Desert.
Why it matters: The technology offers water independence for communities vulnerable to hurricanes and droughts, particularly Caribbean islands and arid regions where 2.2 billion people lack safely managed drinking water. Off-grid household units could eventually provide decentralized water supply without relying on municipal systems, though scaling and cost challenges remain.

St. Francis Bones Displayed Publicly for First Time in 800 Years

What happened: The skeletal remains of St. Francis of Assisi went on public display today in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy, marking the 800th anniversary of his death in 1226. The bones, sealed in nitrogen-filled plexiglass within a bulletproof case, will be shown through March 22 with nearly 400,000 visitors already registered.
Why it matters: This rare spiritual opportunity allows the faithful to pray before the relics of one of Christianity's most beloved saints, whose message of peace and simplicity inspired Pope Francis. However, the influx of up to 19,000 daily visitors strains Assisi's narrow streets, parking, and accommodations, testing residents' patience in the already popular pilgrimage destination.
