A report by DW and other German media outlets put the spotlight on a kidney trafficking operation based in Kenya. Now the government is launching an investigation.Kenya’s government confirmed on Thursday that it would shut down a kidney transplant operations at a clinic that had been in the spotlight for organ trafficking. The announcement came just days after the release of a report by DW and German media outlets Der Spiegel, ZDF on the “Mediheal” clinic in Kenya. What was in the report? The report traced the paths of organ sellers and buyers, analyzed documents, spoke with whistleblowers and medical professionals. It uncovered an international network that exploited young Kenyans who were desperate for money, as well as old patients who were desperate for a life-saving kidney. DW correspondent in Nairobi, Felix Maringa, reported that the Kenyan government response was swift, starting with the shutting down of the organ transplant operation at the hospital. “A new committee has been put in place that will in
A scientific analysis of samples collected on the surface of Mars shows the Red Planet has evolved its own version of a carbon cycle. The cycle helps create life on Earth, but why not on Mars?What you need to know Evidence of carbon deposits in the crust of Mars has been found, suggesting the presence of a carbon cycle. Mars once had a far warmer climate with liquid water and a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere. A broken cycle may have contributed to Mars becoming uninhabitable. Scientists studying soil samples from NASA’s Curiosity rover have discovered that a carbon cycle similar to the one that sustains life on Earth once played out on the Red Planet. While it’s unclear whether Marsever supported life, its current harsh environment may be due to an “imbalanced” carbon cycle. “Mars seems to have been habitable for its first billion years and that waned very quickly,” Ben Tutolo, a space researcher at the University of Calgary, Canada, told DW. Mars once had a thick atmosphere full of carbon dioxide capable of
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, scientists have uncovered something they never expected—oxygen forming in complete darkness. Hidden in a stretch of seabed eyed by mining giants, this phenomenon defies long-held scientific beliefs.
A new detector dubbed a “cosmic car radio” may be able to pick up faint signals from dark matter—possibly unlocking one of the universe’s biggest mysteries in record time.
Google shared a safety paper on its flagship artificial‑intelligence model, Gemini 2.5 Pro. Experts say it leaves key risks unexplained. The company posted the technical paper on Thursday, several weeks after it released Gemini 2.5 Pro to customers. The document lists the internal tests Google ran on the model but offers few facts on how […]
Stanford University’s AI research lab will leverage Theta EdgeCloud’s decentralized GPU infrastructure to advance their work in discrete optimization and algorithmic reasoning. The lab, led by Assistant Professor Ellen Vitercik from Stanford Engineering, will utilize the platform’s scalable, high-performance computing resources to accelerate AI model training and research at reasonable costs, according to an announcement…
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), often called the central bank of central banks, has released a paper examining financial stability risks posed by cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi). The study concludes that crypto markets have “reached critical mass” despite still having limited connections to traditional finance (TradFi). However, these links are growing through Bitcoin…
Cardano (ADA) has been trading below the $0.70 mark since March 29, struggling to regain bullish momentum. Despite brief signs of strength, recent indicators now point to weakening trend conditions. Both the BBTrend and ADX show fading buying pressure, while EMA alignment remains bearish.

In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet’s atmosphere the chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes. The two gases – dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and dimethyl disulfide, or DMDS – involved in Webb’s observations of the planet named K2-18 b are generated on Earth by living organisms, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton – algae. This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, the researchers said. They stressed, however, that they are not announcing the discovery of actual living organisms but rather a possible biosignature – an indicator of a biological process – and that the findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed, Reuters reported. Nonetheless, they voiced excitement. These are the first hints of an alien world that is possibly inhabited, said as
