I don’t mean that in a “there’s a whole lot of them” way, but quite literally: they’re unbelievable. Polling’s track record lately has been about as reliable as a coin toss. They whiffed completely on Trump’s 2016 victory. They did even worse in 2020, predicting Biden would win in a landslide. In 2022, they promised us a “Red Wave” that turned out to be more of a ripple.

“I think both Mr Khan and Mr Trump don’t feel bound by any norms. They are both transactional, and they will say and do whatever they feel will get them into power,” said former Pakistan foreign minister Khurram Dastgir Khan. Such similarities are one reason many supporters of Khan – who was ousted from power in 2022 and thrown into jail last year over corruption charges – hope Trump returns to the White House. WOULD TRUMP BE GOOD FOR PAKISTAN? Amid a widely held belief among many Pakistanis that Washington can influence politics in Pakistan, some of Khan’s supporters think…

A new material can bend lightUniversity of Glasgow Scientists have discovered a technique whereby light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to advances in medical imaging, electronics cooling and even nuclear reactor design. Daniele Faccio at the University of Glasgow, UK, and his colleagues say they are shocked this type of light scattering wasn’t noticed before. It works on the same basis as clouds, snow and other white materials that absorb light: once photons hit the surface of such a material, they are scattered in all directions, barely…

Imagine pulling up to a refueling station and filling your vehicle’s tank with liquid hydrogen, as safe and convenient to handle as gasoline or diesel, without the need for high-pressure tanks or cryogenic storage. This vision of a sustainable future could become a reality if a Calgary, Canada–based company, Ayrton Energy, can scale up its innovative method of hydrogen storage and distribution. Ayrton’s technology could make hydrogen a viable, one-to-one replacement for fossil fuels in existing infrastructure like pipelines, fuel tankers, rail cars, and trucks.The company’s approach is to use liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) to make it easier to…
The European Union and NATO are questioning Hungary’s allegiance after it sent a foreign minister to a joint security summit with Russia, Syria, and Belarus. Hungary’s position in both the EU and NATO has repeatedly been undermined as the current government has attempted to remain neutral in the Russia-Ukraine war. “The Hungarian government never wastes an opportunity to shame us,” said Nathalie Loiseau, a French MEP from the Renew Europe group who sits on the Parliament’s foreign affairs committee. “In French, we say ‘when you cross boundaries, there are no limits,’” said Camille Grand, a former NATO assistant secretary-general. “Extremely…
