Former Australian miner spotted Saturn ripple in 2024; two years later, co-authored 10-sided wave

An Australian amateur astronomer made a groundbreaking observation in their backyard, discovering a colossal ten-sided atmospheric wave. This unique finding corroborated the existence of a decagon around Saturn's south pole, as confirmed by years of data from the Hubble Space Telescope. The decagon, intertwined with fierce jet streams, spans numerous atmospheric levels, shedding light on the circulatory processes within the atmospheres of these gas giants.

Britain’s butterfly boom comes with a warning for next year

Britain experienced a significant butterfly boom during the record heat of summer 2026. Over 100,000 volunteers counted nearly 1.4 million butterflies and moths across the nation. Painted ladies, a migratory species, saw their numbers surge by 335 percent this season. Experts warn this boom could lead to a population crash for caterpillars next year. Drought conditions that benefited adult butterflies harmed their offspring and food sources.

Google Makes It Easier to Switch Password Managers on Android: How to Transfer Passwords and Passkeys

Google has rolled out a new Android transfer system that lets compatible password managers exchange passwords and passkeys directly. The feature removes the need to export passwords as unencrypted text files and provides a way to move passkeys when changing services. Android detects supported password managers on the device and guides users through selecting, reviewing and authorising the transfer. Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden Password Manager and Dashlane currently support the feature, while additional providers are expected to join later.

Instagram Lets Users Add Tagged Posts to Their Main Profile Grid

Instagram has started rolling out a new profile feature that lets users bring tagged posts onto their main grid. The change gives users greater control over which posts associated with them are visible alongside their own uploads. Instagram provides multiple ways to add a tagged post, including through notifications, the post menu and the Tagged tab. Added posts follow the profile's default ordering, while users can later remove them from the grid without deleting the original post or removing the tag.

Singapore researchers use fruit peels to recover metals from old batteries

Singaporean researchers are using fruit peels to recycle lithium-ion batteries. Waste from oranges, lemons, and pineapples helps dissolve battery material and recover metals. This pilot plant processes shredded batteries, recovering valuable components for new battery production. The innovative method combines food waste and spent batteries, moving laboratory work towards commercial use. This approach aims to tackle battery waste and food waste together effectively.
