Golden July for Bitcoin Miners: $1.66 Billion Harvested July marks a turning point for Bitcoin mining: revenues explode to $1.66 billion, a post-halving high. This boom hides persistent tensions on profitability. Between rising fees and technical adjustments, the sector adapts. But can this momentum last amid the uncertainties looming over August?
Undectable Plague Malware Attacking Linux Servers to Gain Persistent SSH Access A sophisticated Linux backdoor dubbed Plague has emerged as an unprecedented threat to enterprise security, evading detection across all major antivirus engines while establishing persistent SSH access through manipulation of core authentication mechanisms.
Study outlines alternative approach to detecting inelastic dark matter particles https://phys.org/news/2025-07-outlines-alternative-approach-inelastic-dark.html It is now understood that all known matter, i.e., studied by science and harnessed by technology, constitutes only 5% of the content of the universe. The rest is composed of two unknown components: dark matter (about 27%) and dark energy (about 68%). This calculation, confirmed decades ago, continues to surprise both lay people and scientists alike.
Two meteor showers will peak simultaneously tonight: How and when to watch July is once again exiting in style, treating stargazers to a meteor shower double-feature this week. The Southern Delta Aquariid and the Alpha Capricornid meteor showers will peak at the same time, in the early morning hours Wednesday. While perhaps not as stunning as the Perseids, which light up the sky in mid-August, often leaving long, sometimes-colorful “wakes,” conditions will be good this week. The moon is waxing and only about a quarter full, so the meteors should appear bright, especially for stargazers outside of urban areas with lots of light pollution.

Bitcoin has found a new purpose. What could go wrong? Bitcoin's price has collapsed numerous times over the years, most recently in 2022 when the failure of a stablecoin and the epic unravelling of the FTX crypto exchange led to a wave of bankruptcies. When Bitcoin broke into the public consciousness in 2013, the idea behind it quickly captured people’s imagination: a digital currency for instant, anonymous payments that dispenses with the need for a bank. Its price surged that year, from around US$13 ($16.64) to US$747.
We've discovered a door to a hidden part of reality – what's inside? It has been 15 years since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started smashing particles together. Since then, I have been one among thousands of researchers scouring its collisions for evidence of new physics that could explain mysteries like dark matter or the existence of matter in the universe. In 2012, the LHC uncovered the Higgs boson, securing the foundations of the standard model – our current best theory of fundamental particles and their workings. However, despite high hopes, it has yet to reveal new physics.
