The author, who previously worked at N + 1 on articles in chemistry and physics, now teaches these disciplines in school. He had the opportunity to realize a long-held idea—to create his own photo album made with the help of an electron microscope.
By happy chance, a simple SEM was installed at the school. With a background in materials science, the author organized a small club where he and high school students conducted small scientific experiments and actively used the microscope.
The president of the Iranian parliament criticized the United States' statements, labeling them as 'continuous theatrical diplomacy.' Qalibaf expressed his opinion on social media, referring to repeated statements by Donald Trump, who frequently interrupted announced attacks against Iran under the claim that the Islamic Republic was requesting negotiations.
Iran's chief negotiator demanded that the parties recognize the facts and fulfill their agreements, stating that 'we do not need more theatre.' He also maintained that using intimidation, unfulfilled promises, and fake news as bargaining tools constitutes an ineffective tactic.
In this context, Donald Trump posted on social media that, in Iran, 'a country that has been devastated with the goal of never allowing itself to possess a nuclear weapon, things are going very well!'
The United States and Iran have been in a state of war since February 28, following a coordinated offensive between Israel and the United States. In response, Tehran carried out attacks in the region and announced the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Previously, on June 17, the two nations had signed a memorandum of understanding that provided for an immediate ceasefire and the opening of negotiations for a period of 60 days aimed at a definitive peace agreement. However, the parties returned to military confrontation.
Tehran reintroduced the announcement of restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil trade circulated before the conflict, while Washington resumed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. Trump, for his part, ordered the suspension of air attacks, claiming to have acted at the request of mediating countries and the Islamic Republic itself. However, the latter denies holding conversations with Washington, asserting that it negotiates only with Oman regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Grokipedia, the digital encyclopedia developed by xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, has shown no changes to its content since April 2026, according to an analysis conducted by Lawfare. This survey found an absence of updates both on the platform's pages and in correction suggestions submitted by users.
Initially, Musk presented the tool as an alternative capable of surpassing Wikipedia in terms of quality and scale. The launch occurred in October 2025, and Grokipedia started with hundreds of thousands of AI-generated articles, later expanding its collection to millions of pages.
The current state of the project has generated uncertainty among social media users and online communities regarding the continuity of development. The company responsible for the platform has not provided immediate answers to requests for clarification regarding the recent inactivity.
In its first public version, designated v0.1, launched in October 2025, Grokipedia had 885 thousand articles. In the following month, the platform evolved to version v0.2, making over 6 million articles available.
Despite the reported growth, the platform's own monitoring section began indicating a lack of recent activity, as the area dedicated to real-time edits showed no records of modifications.
Users can still submit requests to create new articles or propose adjustments to existing pages. However, the evaluation conducted by Lawfare, which analyzed thousands of pages, found no recent records of acceptance or rejection of these contributions.
Lawfare's investigation focused on 34,519 pages that contained at least one suggested alteration in the examined sample. These pages accumulated a total of 225,496 editing recommendations. According to the report, none of these contributions had a recorded decision of acceptance or refusal in the three months preceding the survey, signaling a halt in the platform's collaborative review process.
xAI has not offered an immediate justification for this lack of updates. Meanwhile, forums such as Reddit and X have begun debating whether Grokipedia has lost momentum or is being abandoned.
The idea of Grokipedia attracted attention after Musk disclosed the concept of an artificial intelligence-based encyclopedia, seen as an advancement over conventional models. However, the entrepreneur has not mentioned the project in X publications since February 2026, as indicated by the cited study.
With the absence of new public changes and without recent company announcements, the platform remains accessible but without evidence of recent editorial activity.
The Esh Hotel & Spa is a hotel complex consisting of 29 units, located on a sloping plot in the Nosara region of Costa Rica. The project concept emerged to solve the challenge of developing a destination hotel on a property where panoramic views were restricted.
Instead of focusing the guest experience on distant landscapes, the design was conceived to build an internal environment using the elements present on the property itself. Elements such as preserved trees, a natural stream, shaded outdoor areas, courtyards with gardens, and water mirrors function as the main reference points throughout the hotel.
