Scientists Map Brain Activity Across 95% of the Mammalian Brain in Landmark Study

In a historic collaboration, scientists created the first comprehensive mammalian brain activity map. The project, led by the International Brain Laboratory, analyzed data from 600,000 cells across 139 mice. Findings revealed that decision-making and memory are spread across the brain, not confined to specific regions as previously believed.

Video: Egg Thrown At Imran Khan's Sister Outside Pakistan Jail, 2 Arrested

In a horrible incident Aleema Khanum, sister of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, had an egg thrown at her outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

The hearing for the Toshakhana case had taken place earlier and she was addressing the press when the episode happened.

The video footage shows the egg hitting her chin and then falling on her clothes, a woman can be heard shouting, "Who the hell is this?" and "Kisne kiya yeh (Who did this)." Khanum, although shocked, reacted calmly saying, "Koi baat nahi, jaane do".

Strongly condemn the disgraceful act of throwing an egg at Aleema Khanum, sister of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. No political disagreement should ever justify such disrespect. Pakistan's politics need dialogue, not humiliation. #AleemaKhanum #StayStrongAleemaKhan pic.twitter.com/U5e2J1djPc

The video that was caught on camera is now being widely circulated on social media.

The police have arrested two women for hurling the egg at Khanum. According to the police, the women were Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters and the egg was thrown at her after she skipped a question posed to her by journalists.

Journalists had asked her questions regarding reporter Tayyab Baloch who was trolled after raising allegations against her on social media. He had asked Aleema questions regarding purchase of a property with donation funds. Baloch also claimed that the PTI team had started a campaign against him and that he also received a threat.

Journalists asked Aleema, "You did not answer the question; instead, Tayyab Baloch was threatened. Is asking a question a crime? Do you only respond to questions of your choice?"

PTI supporters have condemned the act. One user on X wrote, "...Such behavior is not only unethical but also unfortunate, as it turns political disagreements into insults and attacks. Differences of opinion are one thing, but civility and respect should never be abandoned.", another claimed, "This disgraceful act is by Asim Munir and the Noon League; these people are extremely afraid of Khan and his family."

Khan has been accused of unlawfully buying and selling gifts kept inside a government owned department called the Toshakhana, or treasure house. The Toshakhana houses gifts received by prime ministers, presidents, ministers, members of parliament and other government officials.

He was later sentenced to prison in August 2023 for three years for selling gift items worth more than 140 million Pakistani rupees ($500,000).

The Toshakhana case against Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi has been adjourned on Friday and the next hearing is scheduled for September 8.

Astronomers Discover Stellar Graveyard Filled With Black Hole and Neutron Star Collisions

Astronomers using LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detected 128 collisions of black holes and neutron stars, including two rare mixed mergers that double previous records. These findings reveal new details of stellar evolution, refine Hubble constant estimates, and test Einstein’s relativity in extreme conditions. The cosmic “graveyard” offers fresh insight into how stars die and black holes grow.

1st Time In ODI History: SA's 26-Year Old Star Shatters Huge World Record

South African batter Matthew Breetzke continued his dream run in ODI cricket, becoming the first player to register scores of fifty-plus in each of his first five ODIs. Breetzke accomplished this feat during his side's second ODI against England at Lord's on Thursday. In the match, Breetzke went on to score 85 in 77 balls, with seven fours and three sixes at a strike rate of over 110. However, an absolute peach of a delivery from pacer Jofra Archer meant he missed out on his second ODI ton.

Also, his score of 85 is the highest by a Proteas batter in an ODI at Lord's, surpassing Herschelle Gibbs' 74 runs in 2008.

Also, he has joined the elite list of Jonty Rhodes, Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen for securing joint-most fifty-plus scores for South Africa in ODIs.

Now in five ODIs, Breetske has scored 463 runs in five innings at an average of 92.60, with a century and four half-centuries, with the best score of 150.

Coming to the match, England won the toss and elected to field first. A 73-run opening stand between Aiden Markram (49 in 64 balls, with six fours and a six) and Ryan Rickelton (35 in 33 balls, with five fours) started things for Proteas. Later, half-centuries from Breetzke (85) and Tristan Stubbs (58 in 62 balls, with two fours and a six) and a quickfire 20-ball 42 (three fours and three sixes) from Dewald Brevis proved to be instrumental in taking Proteas to 330/8 in their 50 overs.

Jofra Archer (4/62) was the pick of the bowlers for England, while spinner Adil Rashid (2/33) also delivered an unbelievable 10-over spell for the Proteas.

England need to chase down 330 to save the series which they are trailing by 1-0.

NASA Tracks Newly Discovered Bus-Sized Asteroid as It Flies Past Earth

A newly discovered asteroid, 2025 QV5, about the size of a school bus, will safely pass Earth today at a distance of 500,000 miles, roughly twice as far as the moon. NASA’s JPL notes it will not return this close again until September 2125. Scientists are tracking its path to refine orbital predictions and future flybys.
