gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-10 11:55:11

Keep checking those gold prices—scientists have more news about the coveted metal. An energy startup claims it has the recipe for modern-day alchemy: turning mercury into gold inside a nuclear fusion reactor. Last week, Marathon Fusion, a San Francisco-based energy startup, submitted a preprint detailing an action plan for synthesizing gold particles via nuclear transmutation—essentially the process of turning one element into another by tweaking its nucleus. The paper, which has yet to undergo

Elon Admits That Tesla Is in for a World of Hurt

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-10 21:27:35

The ordeal isn't over yet for Tesla or its investors, according to CEO Elon Musk, as it misses heaps of Wall Street targets in its latest earnings report. "We probably could have a few rough quarters," Musk said in a conference call on Wednesday, as quoted by the Financial Times. If past is prelude, he could be onto something. In the second quarter, between April and June of this year, Tesla raked in just $1.2 billion in net income, when during that same period last year it made $1.4 billion.

Diet, not lack of exercise, drives obesity, a new study finds

You can't outrun a bad diet. Food — not lack of exercise — fuels obesity, study finds toggle caption PCH-Vector/iStockphoto via Getty Images Back in the 1800s, obesity was almost nonexistent in the United States. Over the last century, it's become common here and in other industrialized nations, though it remains rare among people who live more traditional lifestyles, such as the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania.
