The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Gemini, founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, after investors recovered their assets in full. Regulators cited the complete repayment of Gemini Earn customers through the Genesis Global Capital bankruptcy in 2024. The decision reflects a broader shift toward crypto-friendly regulation under President Donald Trump. The SEC stressed that the dismissal does not affect other enforcement actions. Gemini later debuted strongly on Nasdaq and is now valued at $1.14bn.

Coca-Cola has sued Vue after the cinema chain ended their near 25-year partnership and switched to PepsiCo as its exclusive soft drinks supplier in Europe. Vue, which runs more than 220 cinemas across eight countries, awarded the contract to PepsiCo last year, with the deal running until at least 2030. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Great Britain has filed legal action to recover alleged unpaid debts following the contract’s termination. Vue acknowledged there were disputed amounts on both sides but said the issue has now been resolved, with no money outstanding and the contested sum below £100,000. Vue’s founder, Tim Richards, criticised…
Beijing’s major housing and construction exhibition in 2025 highlighted the latest trends in the real estate sector. The event showcased “quality housing” projects and demonstrated how developers are focusing on sustainable and modern residential solutions. The exhibition attracted developers, designers, investors, and government officials. It provided a platform to display innovative building technologies, modern designs, and high-standard residential projects. Experts said the expo reflects China’s ongoing efforts to support residential development and promote a healthier housing market. A key theme of the event was quality housing. Developers presented homes that meet higher safety, energy efficiency, and comfort standards. This trend…
Google’s AI Overviews cite YouTube more frequently than any medical website when answering health-related search queries, according to a German study that analysed more than 50,000 searches. Researchers at SE Ranking found that YouTube accounted for 4.43% of all sources cited in AI-generated health summaries, making it the single most referenced platform. No hospital network, government health body or academic institution came close. The findings raise concerns because YouTube is a general video platform where content can be uploaded by anyone, not a dedicated medical publisher. The study, based on German-language searches conducted in Germany, showed AI Overviews appeared in…
Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation train that could reach 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. Produced by Central Japan Railway Company, it far exceeds current high-speed rail, including Europe’s fastest services such as France’s TGV and Italy’s Italo. The train will run on the Chūō Shinkansen, cutting the Tokyo–Nagoya journey to about 40 minutes, with Tokyo–Osaka expected to take roughly one hour. The project relies on maglev technology, which lifts trains above the track using magnets, reducing friction and allowing extreme speeds. However, exporting this technology to Europe looks unlikely. The system requires entirely…
A study has found that “manosphere” influencers are convincing healthy young men that normal changes in mood, energy or libido mean they have low testosterone, driving unnecessary testing and treatment. Researchers analysing popular posts on TikTok and Instagram found testosterone was often framed as essential to masculinity, despite routine screening being medically unwarranted for most young men. The findings, published in Social Science and Medicine, warn this promotes a “medicalisation of masculinity” and fuels lucrative markets for tests, supplements and hormones. Experts say symptoms blamed on low testosterone are often linked to stress or lifestyle factors, and unnecessary treatment can…
Plants growing close together can alert one another to incoming stress, improving their chances of survival under harsh conditions. In experiments with thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), researchers grew plants either alone or tightly packed so their leaves touched. When exposed to intense light, isolated plants suffered severe damage, while crowded plants coped much better. Within an hour, densely grown plants activated more than 2,000 genes linked to protection against multiple stresses, whereas isolated plants showed little change. The findings suggest that stressed plants send warning signals to nearby neighbours. The study identified hydrogen peroxide as the signal released by crowded…
Netflix has revised its $82.7bn (£61.5bn) bid for Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), switching to an all-cash offer in a move designed to speed up approval and fend off a hostile takeover attempt from Paramount Skydance. The revised proposal keeps the same valuation of $27.75 per share but removes the shares component, which Netflix and WBD say gives greater certainty to investors and could allow a shareholder vote as early as April. The WBD board has again unanimously backed the Netflix deal. Under the agreement, Netflix would acquire Warner Bros studios and HBO, while WBD’s global networks arm – including CNN,…
Forschende haben einen einfachen Bluttest entwickelt, der vorhersagen kann, wie gut Brustkrebspatientinnen auf eine bestimmte Behandlung ansprechen. Der Test analysiert zirkulierende Tumor-DNA im Blut und liefert Hinweise bereits vor Therapiebeginn oder nach nur vier Wochen Behandlung. In einer Studie mit 167 Patientinnen mit fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs zeigten niedrige oder nicht nachweisbare Werte dieser Tumor-DNA eine deutlich bessere Reaktion auf die Therapie und längere krankheitsfreie Zeit. Hohe Werte waren mit schlechteren Behandlungsergebnissen verbunden. Besonders deutlich war der Zusammenhang bei Patientinnen mit triple-negativem Brustkrebs. Niedrige DNA-Werte gingen mit deutlich längerer Kontrolle der Erkrankung einher. Auch nach vier Wochen Behandlung erwies sich der Test…
