Nuclear kamikaze spacecraft proposed as last resort to deflect doomsday asteroid

Scientists have drawn up a planetary defence plan involving a nuclear-armed spacecraft sent on a collision course with an Earth-threatening asteroid — effectively a cosmic kamikaze mission. The concept is considered a last resort when conventional deflection methods would fail. It is described as the most radical publicly outlined plan against a genuine extinction-level asteroid threat.

Should nuclear weapons be used to defend Earth against an asteroid threat?

Manor Lords fixes drunk NPCs and crazed drovers that paralysed settlements

The developers of medieval strategy game Manor Lords continue to squash community-reported bugs. The latest patch fixes NPCs getting stuck in a drinking loop at the tavern and drovers losing their pathfinding logic, both of which were grinding settlements to a halt. The game remains in active development.

Does Manor Lords deserve to be called the best medieval strategy game on PC?

Humans and Neanderthals shared a culture for 20,000 years, cave find suggests

A cave discovery suggests that modern humans and Neanderthals shared cultural practices for at least 20,000 years. The key evidence comes from seashells found in the cave, pointing to shared symbolic or decorative behaviour between the two species. The finding challenges earlier assumptions about the cognitive gap between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.

Do Neanderthal discoveries challenge our definition of humanity?

Pricey Credit Markets Drive Rise of Flexible "Buy-Anything" Bond Funds

Bond investors are increasingly turning to flexible, unconstrained funds that can invest across any credit instrument, driven by elevated valuations that leave little room for error in traditional strategies. High credit market prices make conventional approaches riskier, pushing capital toward funds with broader mandates. The trend reflects growing caution among investors seeking diversification in an expensive market environment.

Are unconstrained flexible bond funds a safe strategy for investors in pricey markets?

Omsk is located more than 2,000 km from the Ukrainian border. Both foreign and local media reported extensive damage to the facility, which is Russia's largest oil refinery.

Should Ukraine continue striking Russian energy infrastructure?

Neurosurgeons' company earned 26,000 PLN per hour, says head of Polish Medical Chamber

Dr Łukasz Jankowski, head of the Polish Supreme Medical Council (NIL), told Polish Radio's Programme 3 that a neurosurgeons' company was earning as much as 26,000 PLN per hour — comparing it to Lionel Messi's wages at Inter Miami. Jankowski described the earnings as incomprehensible to ordinary Poles and distanced the NIL from such practices. The case concerns contracts between the neurosurgeons' company and medical facilities.

Were the neurosurgeons' company earnings of 26,000 PLN per hour justified?

BMW has unveiled the M 1000 RR for the 2027 model year, featuring reduced weight and upgraded aerodynamics including winglets that have become standard on serious track-oriented superbikes. The motorcycle is faster than its predecessor while retaining road-legal status. Advanced electronics further enhance its performance both on the track and on public roads.

Is the BMW M 1000 RR 2027 the best road-legal superbike on the market?

Tides Rewoven Light: designer lamp made from ocean floor waste

The Tides Rewoven Light is a designer ceiling lamp crafted from materials recovered from the ocean floor. The project deliberately rejects the polished, mass-produced aesthetic — each piece carries visible traces of its past life. It represents a growing upcycling trend in interior design, turning marine waste into decorative objects for the home.

Should ocean-waste upcycled products be promoted more widely in interior design?

KOSPI enters bear market, down 23% despite Samsung's record quarterly results

South Korea's KOSPI index has officially entered a technical bear market, dropping to 7,246.79 points — nearly 23% below its 22 June record high. Paradoxically, the sell-off was triggered by Samsung's best-ever quarterly results, which would have sparked euphoria just months ago. The market's failure to reward even record earnings signals a possible end to the AI-driven bull run.

Does the AI stock sell-off signal the end of the AI-driven bull market?

Poland's all-time heat record broken: 40.5°C in Słubice, hot days doubled in decades

On 28 June 2026, Poland's Institute of Meteorology and Water Management recorded the highest temperature in the country's measurement history — 40.5°C in Słubice, surpassing the 105-year-old record of 40.2°C set in Prószków in 1921. Climate scientist Prof. Bogdan Chojnicki told PAP that the number of hot days in Poland has doubled over recent decades. Experts warn this is an alarming signal of climate change, not merely natural weather variability.

Should Poland urgently introduce new climate regulations in response to the record heatwave?
