Europe is entering a new era of border travel. The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is replacing traditional passport stamps with digital records, facial recognition and fingerprint checks for many non-EU travellers. As the system becomes fully enforced, airports and border crossings are facing new challenges, including longer queues and increased pressure on infrastructure and staff. But EES is about more than today’s travel delays. It is part of a much bigger transformation that could make European borders increasingly automated, biometric and digital. This article explores how EES works, who it affects, the concerns surrounding privacy and congestion, and what the future of travelling across Europe could look like.

The Himalayas have always been a landscape of extremes. The world's highest mountains are shaped by earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, glaciers, monsoon rains and rivers that can change from relatively calm streams into enormous torrents within minutes. For centuries, people living in the Himalayan valleys have learned to live with these dangers. But something is changing.

There are discoveries in astronomy that expand our knowledge of the Universe. And then there are discoveries that feel almost impossible to comprehend. Astronomers have now identified a star racing around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way at roughly 25,000 kilometers per second — more than eight percent of the speed of light. Its name is S301.

The Cold War had two superpowers. The world of 2026 has something much more complicated: several centers of power, overlapping alliances, strategic partnerships, economic dependencies and countries that increasingly refuse to choose just one side.

For generations, the traditional holiday was built around one simple idea: travel should be long enough to feel like a real escape. A week at the seaside. Ten days in another country. Two weeks somewhere warm. For many people, the annual summer holiday was the biggest travel event of the year — something planned months in advance, carefully budgeted, and protected from everything else on the calendar. But that model is changing.

Artificial intelligence is becoming one of the defining technologies of the 2020s. AI assistants can write, create images, analyze documents, generate software and increasingly perform tasks on behalf of their users. But behind every AI interaction lies something less visible: enormous computing infrastructure.As the global AI race accelerates, technology companies are building data centers at unprecedented speed. These facilities require huge amounts of electricity, water and advanced computer chips. The result is a new question that is becoming increasingly important around the world:Can the planet generate enough energy to power the AI revolution?The answer could shape not only the future

For more than a year, an abandoned Falcon 9 upper stage drifted through space. On August 5, 2026, it finally met the Moon — and now humanity can see the mark it left behind.

For more than a decade, being connected was treated as one of the great achievements of modern life. We were told that smartphones would make life easier. Social media would bring people closer together. Notifications would keep us informed. Streaming would give us unlimited entertainment. Algorithms would help us discover exactly what we wanted. And then came artificial intelligence. Now machines can write our emails, recommend our next holiday, summarize our meetings, create photographs, generate music and answer almost any question within seconds. Technology has never been more powerful. Yet something unexpected is happening in 2026.

Welcome to the Synthetic InternetNot long ago, the internet felt like a giant collection of human thoughts. Every article was written by a journalist, every photo captured a real moment, and every video reflected something that had actually happened. While misinformation and manipulated images certainly existed, creating convincing fake content required significant time, technical expertise, and financial resources.Today, that reality has changed dramatically.Artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed how digital content is created, distributed, and consumed. With only a few words typed into an AI assistant, anyone can generate articles, illustrations, videos, podcasts, computer c

Open Instagram. Scroll through TikTok. Browse X, Reddit, or YouTube. Something unusual has happened. Instead of chasing the newest trends, millions of people have suddenly started looking backward. Grainy selfies. Snapchat dog filters. Flower crowns. Pokémon GO screenshots. Vine compilations. Blurry sunset photos with heavy Valencia filters. Songs that dominated every party in 2016 are climbing playlists once again. The internet has become obsessed with one particular year.
