Wendy Rush, wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, was aboard the support ship Polar Prince when the Titan submersible imploded during its 2023 dive to the Titanic wreck. She heard a loud pop through the communication system, unaware that it marked the moment of the vessel's catastrophic failure, killing all five aboard, including her husband and prominent figures such as British explorer Hamish Harding. Newly released US Coast Guard footage reveals that the Titan, nearly 11,000 feet underwater, went silent approximately 90 minutes into its descent. Despite previous signs of structural failure, OceanGate continued operations, with the ill-fated dive being the sub's 88th. A chilling audio clip captures the moment of implosion, described as a violent blast followed by silence. The Coast Guard has since recovered debris from the ocean floor and is expected to release a final report on the incident later this year.

This data center is part of the US Stargate project, an initiative involving leading AI companies aimed at strengthening America's position in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence sector amid intensifying global competition. As of now, representatives from OpenAI, Nvidia, and Oracle have not provided comments on the report.
Published: May 24 2025, 12 ameznews.inPresident Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Friday aimed at revitalizing the nuclear energy sector in the United States, seeking to expedite the construction of new reactors and enhance domestic uranium mining and enrichment. During the signing in the Oval Office, Trump emphasized the need for faster regulatory processes, targeting an 18-month timeline for decisions from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which he criticized as overly cautious. The initiative, framed as a response to growing energy demands—particularly from tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft—reflects a broader push for carbon-free electricity amid rising energy prices exacerbated by the Ukraine conflict. Trump also declared an "energy emergency" on his first day back in office, aiming to roll back prior climate policies. Despite the political sensitivities following the 2011 Fukushima disaster, the administration is optimistic about a nuclear resurgence in the U.S. energy landscape.
Published: May 24 2025, 1 ameznews.inIsraeli settlers attacked Palestinian homes and vehicles in Bruqin, West Bank, following the killing of a pregnant settler, Tzeela Gez. Witnesses reported a large group of settlers throwing Molotov cocktails and physically assaulting residents. Akram Sabra, a local, described seeing his vehicles set ablaze and being assaulted himself. The Israeli military confirmed reports of vandalism but stated no arrests were made, as the suspects fled before their arrival. This incident is part of a broader trend of escalating violence against Palestinians, with over 1,400 attacks reported last year, the highest in two decades. The United Nations noted that more than 11,000 Palestinians in Bruqin and nearby towns are currently trapped amid ongoing violence. The recent surge in settler attacks coincides with intensified Israeli military operations in the West Bank, raising concerns of a potential full Israeli annexation and further displacement of Palestinians.
Published: May 24 2025, 1 ameznews.inA knife attack at Hamburg's main train station on Friday left at least 12 people injured, with six sustaining life-threatening injuries. Police arrested a 39-year-old woman believed to have acted alone during the incident, which occurred around 6:00 PM local time amid rush hour. The Hamburg police confirmed a major operation was underway at the station, where victims were treated on-site and transported to hospitals. German rail operator Deutsche Bahn announced the closure of four platforms, resulting in delays to long-distance services. This attack follows a series of violent incidents in Germany, often linked to extremist motivations, raising security concerns ahead of recent elections. The rise of far-right sentiments and discussions around immigration have intensified in the wake of these events, with the conservative CDU/CSU and the far-right Alternative for Germany gaining significant support in the polls.
Published: May 24 2025, 1 ameznews.inIn a significant escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard University, U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna has publicly condemned the administration's decision to bar the university from enrolling international students. Khanna challenged prominent tech leaders, including Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen, to defend the ban, asserting it lacks merit. Harvard has condemned the action as unlawful, stating it jeopardizes the futures of thousands of students and scholars. The university has initiated legal proceedings, including a motion for a temporary restraining order, to challenge the revocation of its authority to sponsor international visas. The White House defended the ban, characterizing the enrollment of foreign students as a privilege and accusing Harvard of fostering anti-American sentiments. This contentious issue arises amid ongoing disputes over the university's handling of campus protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict and its diversity practices.

Published: May 23 2025, 11 pmeznews.inRussia has dismissed the Vatican as a potential venue for peace talks with Ukraine, labelling the idea a "fantasy." Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized the notion, suggesting it would be uncomfortable for Orthodox nations to engage in negotiations at a Catholic site. This comes after Pope Leo XIV expressed the Vatican's willingness to mediate in global conflicts, a sentiment echoed by U.S. officials following a meeting with the Pope. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin outlined stringent ceasefire conditions, including Ukraine's non-NATO membership and recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, which Ukraine has categorically rejected. Lavrov further suggested that Ukraine should hold presidential elections to facilitate a peace deal, a proposal met with disdain from President Volodymyr Zelensky, who denounced it as Russian propaganda. As the war continues, both sides remain entrenched in their positions, complicating any prospects for peace.
Published: May 23 2025, 11 pmeznews.inUS Vice President JD Vance, speaking at the US Naval Academy on Friday, emphasized a shift in military strategy under President Donald Trump, advocating for a cautious approach to military engagement and a departure from open-ended conflicts. Vance highlighted the significant threats posed by nations like China and Russia, asserting that the era of uncontested US dominance has ended. He praised Trump's decisive military action against Houthi rebels in Yemen, which led to a ceasefire, and criticized previous administrations for entangling the US in conflicts not vital to national security. While not naming specific past presidents, his remarks seemed directed at George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who oversaw prolonged military engagements. Vance reiterated Trump's call for increased military spending and the construction of advanced defense systems, reflecting an isolationist stance that prioritizes national defense over foreign intervention.
Published: May 23 2025, 11 pmeznews.inA recent study from the University of California, Santa Cruz, has identified a genetic element known as "introners" as a key mechanism behind the spread of introns within and between species. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study presents the first confirmed instances of introners transferring between unrelated species through a process called horizontal gene transfer. Introners, which are a type of transposable element, can replicate themselves within a genome, contributing to genetic complexity but often acting as "selfish" entities that do not necessarily benefit their host. This research highlights the dual role of introners in genome evolution, revealing how they can facilitate the emergence of new introns while also posing potential health risks, including links to certain cancers. The findings were made possible by advancements in DNA sequencing efforts, such as the Earth BioGenome Project.

Both nations confirmed the release of 270 soldiers and 120 civilians, with the freed Russians currently receiving care in Belarus. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared images of jubilant captives celebrating their return, while emotional scenes unfolded in Kyiv as families reunited. Meanwhile, Ukraine expressed readiness for an immediate 30-day ceasefire, though Russia has set preconditions that Ukraine deems unacceptable. As the conflict continues, Russia reported capturing a settlement in Kharkiv and launched missile strikes in Odesa, resulting in casualties.
