Staple crops yields face ‘substantial losses’ in warming world – even with adaptation
Average global yields of six staple crops could fall by more than 11% under a moderate warming scenario by the end of the century.
Doctors successfully removed a spinal tumor by accessing it through the patient's eye socket - a world-first surgery.
In a medical first, surgeons successfully removed a spinal tumor by accessing it through the patient's eye socket, route previously thought impossible due to the risks.
Advanced Al planning tools that mapped a minimally invasive path through the orbital cavity to reach the top of the spine.
This is one of the earliest examples of combining robotic precision and Al decision-making to perform a surgery that would have been too dangerous otherwise.
It opens the door to future procedures that rely less on traditional invasive routes and more on real-time Al analysis!!!

50 Free VR Games
Times can be tough and sometimes we just need a little free VR experience to try out and keep things fresh until that next paycheck comes in! Plus some of these are actually pretty fun and the algorithm doesn't push them like they should. They all have some merit for being fun in their own regard but I put my top picks in bold! There are a few demos and trials in there that are worth mentioning but most are full games.
By clicking on each title you will be sent to the Meta page for the game. Most of them are only on Standalone Quest but there are a few that are available on Steam.

After Mattel announced a collaboration with OpenAI, some experts are sounding the alarm on the dangers that interactive AI poses to children.
is there a market for PCVR wireless headsets without own OS?
I would love a Bigscreen Beyond 2 but wireless is a must. I don't need the OS from a Quest or Pico. Just a light small headset with pancakes and generally image-quality that can match BB2.
Wouldn't something like this be a decent seller or is the wireless PCVR market too small? I guess Meta (& Pico) make a lot of their money also from sales from their own stores, making the OS an economic necessity.

Ghost Town is a MUST OWN!
I just reviewed Ghost Town on YouTube, if you want to watch the video review, here is the link. Ghost Town Review a MUST PLAY VR puzzler? - YouTube
If you just want to skim and read my thoughts about the game. Here is it in writing.
I finally tried Ghost Town, and wow… it’s hard to take the headset off — unless creepy isn’t your thing. This is a narrative puzzler from Fireproof Games (the team behind The Room), and it’s an absolute must‑play .
You play as Edith Penrose, a small‑business‑owning witch in 1980s London, pulled into a dark world of cults and possession when your brother disappears. The story is gripping, well‑paced, and wrapped in a creepy atmosphere that’s more about tension than jump scares. It’s like The Da Vinci Code meets Back to the Future, with a paranormal twist.
The visuals? Some of the best I’ve seen on Quest. Richly detailed environments, beautiful lighting, and solid character animations make every scene feel compelling. The PCVR version has nicer lighting and reflections, but even standalone, it’s a stunner.
The puzzles hit that sweet spot — challenging but fair, and always connected to the story. There’s a hint system if you get stuck, and while some interactions are simple (slide an object from A to B), it all feels natural and fun thanks to great design.
Ghost Town is about four hours long, and it’s worth every minute. It’s one of the best VR puzzlers I’ve ever played, and easily one of the best VR story‑driven experiences out there. If you’re looking for a captivating, atmospheric adventure, don’t miss this one.
