Perhaps the biggest headache for any investor is that no asset offers complete safety. These bonds come close, but there are three scenarios to watch out for econ.st/43gC5mk Illustration: Satoshi Kambayashi

It took 68 years to reach the first terawatt of solar power - then just two years to hit the second. ⚡🌞 To put that into context, 2TW is equal to the whole power capacity of India, the US, and the UK combined, and enough to power 1 billion households worldwide!

A recent deluge in Bali that killed at least 18 people and left four missing was caused partly by record rain, but was also a reckoning for years of rampant overdevelopment and a waste management system under strain. ebx.sh/h3R8vC

Getting ready to rocket! 🚀 The Orion spacecraft we built for @NASA's Artemis II mission has been stacked onto the Space Launch System rocket! Early next year, "Integrity" will carry four astronauts on a mission to the Moon.

The same side of the Moon always faces Earth, but not in exactly the same way. Due to its tilted axis and elliptical orbit, we see about 59% of its surface over time. This simulation compresses a year into 60 seconds, making the Moon's wobble, called libration, visible. 📽: NASA

When you throw a ball at a wall, you can be sure it will bounce back at you. You would be extremely surprised if the ball suddenly appeared on the other side of the wall. In quantum mechanics this type of phenomenon is called tunnelling and is exactly the type of phenomenon that has given it a reputation for being bizarre and unintuitive. The 2025 #NobelPrize laureates in physics John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis, used a series of experiments to demonstrate that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand. Their superconducting electrical system could tunnel from one state to another, as if it were passing straight through a wall. They also showed that the system absorbed and emitted energy in doses of specific sizes, just as predicted by quantum mechanics. Learn more about this year's physics prize: bit.ly/4gKFvTX
