Townsville Mayor Nick Dametto has described reports of an altercation with an LNP staffer at Magnetic Island as "over inflated." Queensland police are investigating the alleged assault involving the mayor and a 28-year-old man. Dametto stated he does not expect to be charged.
Nikolay Patrushev, Russian Presidential Aide, stated that Western countries are developing scenarios for pre-emptive strikes on Russian naval bases and planting magnetic mines on merchant ships in European ports. He emphasized the need for Russia's Navy to adopt an active strategy and maintain combat readiness.
A 2022 study found that the magnetic fields of devices like Apple's AirPods can trigger magnetic modes in implanted cardiovascular devices, potentially preventing them from detecting irregularities. While patients should consult their cardiologists, Apple recommends keeping devices at least 6 inches away from implants.
China's 'Super Microscope' strong light-magnetic field experimental device has completed its six major experimental measurement stations. Expected to be fully operational by the end of 2026, the facility integrates strong laser, strong magnetic field, and ultra-low temperature technologies to study material properties.
A Chinese smart projectile prototype successfully survived and recorded an electromagnetic rail gun test, enduring 20,000g-force overload, 7 T magnetic flux density, and extreme acceleration.
Chinese scientists led by Fu Jingcheng achieve stable flight of a helicopter-towed, kite-like array of coils for advanced geophysical surveys, enabling material identification and depth analysis via induced eddy currents.
An international team led by CSIRO and SKAO creates the largest magnetic map of the universe (SPICE-RACS) using Australia's ASKAP telescope, covering nearly 4 million galaxies to study cosmic evolution and magnetic fields.
Mary Fowler, 23, reflects on her ACL recovery, Manchester City's FA Cup and Women's Super League wins, and her growing cultural influence through fashion, a memoir, and endorsements, while prioritizing her mental health and enjoying her football.
A global team led by CSIRO has created the largest-ever map of cosmic magnetic fields by measuring light from nearly 4 million galaxies. The "SPICE_RACS" map, made possible by the ASKAP radio telescope in Western Australia, will help scientists investigate fundamental questions about the universe's magnetic origins and evolution.
Samoan tenor Pene Pati, once told islanders don't sing opera, is now a global star. A new documentary, 'Tenor: My Name is Pati,' details his journey from Upolu to world stages, highlighting his powerful voice, cultural humility, and sacrifices for family and future Pacific singers.
An inquest into the 2022 disappearance of Ben Chisholm, 22, from Magnetic Island has concluded. Despite an extensive search, his body was never found. Witnesses reported he seemed dishevelled and was talking to himself before he vanished.

New Qi2.2 power banks offer faster wireless charging for iPhones, with some models reaching 25W. The Baseus PicoGo AM52 excels in wireless speeds, while the iWalk PowerHybrid provides a budget-friendly option with decent performance.
A paper published in China's Command Control and Simulation journal on April 29 suggests that by fusing AI with radio wave physics, China could achieve a "new form of war" with superior communications and radar capabilities. The research is led by Li Fukai from top defense institutes.
Russia's FSB announced the discovery of 7kg magnetic mines on the gas carrier 'Arhenius', likely of NATO origin. The mines were found in Russia but likely planted in Belgium during a port strike, leading to a criminal case for attempted terrorism.
The Russian FSB announced the discovery of 7kg magnetic mines on the gas carrier 'Arhenius', suspected to be NATO-made. The mines were found upon arrival in Russia after the ship was detained in Belgium.
Russia's FSB reported discovering magnetic mines attached to the hull of a vessel that arrived at the port of Ust-Luga from Belgium. Each mine contained approximately 7 kg of plastic explosive and appeared to be of NATO origin.
The FSB has released footage showing magnetic mines attached to the hull of the gas carrier "Arrhenius". The video demonstrates the mines' placement and the FSB's operation to neutralize them.
A Reddit user reported a potential fire hazard with Valve's new Steam Controller charging dock. Exposed metal contacts on the magnetic charging puck reportedly short-circuited and overheated when touched by a metal watch strap, raising questions about the device's safety mechanisms.
This week's science news includes Colossal Biosciences hatching chicks from 3D-printed eggs, the launch of the Smile spacecraft to study Earth's magnetic shield, and new doubts cast on water vapor plumes on Europa.
China's J-35 stealth fighter may soon be operational on all three of its aircraft carriers, a development that experts say would significantly enhance the PLA Navy's combat capabilities. Currently, only the most advanced carrier, the Fujian, can host the J-35 due to its electromagnetic catapult system. However, recent state media hints suggest upgrades to the Liaoning and Shandong carriers may allow them to operate the J-35.
Scientists have discovered a giant, diagonally oriented magnetic twist deep within the Milky Way's Sagittarius Arm. This unusual structure, revealed through new radio observations and Faraday rotation analysis, challenges current models of galactic magnetic fields and suggests complex, long-term evolutionary processes.
Lanciata con successo la missione congiunta Europa-Cina Smile (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) per studiare le interazioni tra vento solare e campo magnetico terrestre. Il satellite, lanciato da Vega C da Kourou, osserverà la Terra da un'orbita ellittica.
La missione spaziale congiunta Europa-Cina, Smile, è decollata da Kourou, Guyana Francese, con un razzo Vega C. Utilizzando raggi X, studierà l'interazione tra vento solare e campo geomagnetico terrestre.
