In 2016, a Japanese Venus orbiter repeatedly spotted colossal waves of acidic clouds sweeping through the planet’s atmosphere. For about a decade, astronomers failed to reconcile their observations with existing models. But an unexpected connection finally offers an answer. In a recent study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, an international research team describes how a large “hydraulic jump” forces sulfuric acid vapor higher into the atmosphere, where it aggregates into a massive acid cloud. These fronts can reach approximately 3,728 miles (6,000 kilometers) and persist for an extended period of time. As a result, the team believes this…
Photovs/Getty Images Australia’s water reserves are evaporating. According to Deakin University researchers, the country’s water infrastructure loses almost 370 billion gallons to evaporation each year – about three times the water in Sydney Harbour.

Known as floating photovoltaics (FPV), or floatovoltaics, these huge floating installations of solar panels are flourishing in Australia’s dams and water reservoirs. By covering the…

Meta’s latest attempt to comply with age verification requirements in Europe, Brazil and the United States involves deploying AI-based technology to scan the faces of teenage Facebook and Instagram users. The company says the AI analysis will be used to estimate the age of faces, but it does not constitute facial recognition. Update: This doesn’t seem to work very well: a 12 year old tricked it into using an eyebrow pencil to draw a fake mustache. … Regulators around the world are demanding that social media companies get better at identifying and blocking users under 13. Additionally, adolescents aged 13…
