Al Sa'fat caps glazing at a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25 and a U-value of 2.0. Those two figures quietly rule out the all-glass tower that defined the region's skyline, and they are why shading is coming back.

A team in Ottawa and Erlangen put a window sized lens in the sun, funnelled the light down a glass cone into a fibre the width of a hair, and got entangled photons at ninety four per cent fidelity. The Sun is not supposed to be able to do this.

The first orbital data centre nodes launched in January and multiple operators ran production workloads by February. The physics is genuinely favourable. The economics depend entirely on launch costs.

Chang'e 7 targets the one part of the Moon where ice may have sat undisturbed for billions of years, in craters the sun has never reached. The hopper is the part nobody has tried before.

Air conditioning is roughly half of peak electricity demand across the region, and nearly every building has it. Which means almost everything that reduces a household bill here is about heat getting in, not about appliances.

Most hot weather dressing advice is written for a European summer and fails here. The variables that matter in Gulf heat are fit, weave and how a fabric handles sweat, and they do not line up with the usual natural versus synthetic argument.

Thick walls, small openings, shaded courtyards and wind towers were not decorative. They were a cooling system, and a glass tower in the desert is a decision to pay for that work with electricity instead.

Traditional Arab screens get praised in general terms and tested rarely. Field studies in hot climates put a figure on what they do, and the figure is real, useful, and smaller than the romantic version of the story suggests.

One operator has raised around eleven billion dollars since late 2023 and another is weighing a hundred-billion-dollar listing. The scarce resource stopped being chips some time ago.

After every major earthquake, a prediction resurfaces that appears to have called it. Here is how that trick works, why seismologists say prediction is not currently possible, and what forecasting can actually do.
