Each second, the Sun shoots 1.5 million tons of solar particles into space. Earth's magnetic shield deflects them. Mars doesn't have one. Thicker walls won't save us: cosmic rays shatter metal into even more damaging secondary radiation. The solution is lighter atoms. Kardashev runs through materials science.

Scientists create matter from pure light, proving Einstein's 120-years old theory E = mc², right in the lab. For the very first time, researchers used ultra-powerful lasers to smash photons particles of light together, triggering a reaction that produced actual particles of matter and antimatter: electrons and positrons. This is known as the Breit-Wheeler process, a phenomenon first predicted back in 1934 but never observed in the lab until now.

How do you measure the shape of the universe? Mikhael Gromov, Wolf Prize Laureate in Mathematics (1993), transformed how we understand geometry at its deepest levels. His revolutionary ideas in differential geometry revealed surprising connections between shapes, spaces, and algebraic structures, turning abstract math into powerful tools for solving real-world problems. By linking geometry with topology and developing entirely new mathematical “invariants,” Gromov gave researchers the ability to measure and compare complex spaces, even those that bend, stretch or curve. Gromov’s work reshaped entire fields of mathematics, and opened new paths for generations to come.
