Elon Musk has agreed to settle a $128 million lawsuit filed by four of Twitter’s former top executives, now under his company X. The dispute focused on severance payments the executives said were wrongfully withheld after Musk’s 2022 takeover. Ousted executives say Musk acted without justification The executives, including former CEO Parag Agrawal, argued that Musk dismissed them “without reason” and ignored their contractual rights. In a recent court filing, their lawyers wrote, “The parties have reached a settlement, and the settlement requires certain conditions to be met in the near term.” They did not reveal the settlement terms.

A new study has revealed that 90% of marine aquarium fish sold by major US retailers come directly from the wild. Researchers found most fish are caught in the western Pacific and Indian oceans, with little transparency from “reef to retail.” Globally, about 55 million marine animals are sold each year in a trade worth over US$2bn, driven largely by US demand. Among the 734 species analysed, 45 are listed as threatened or declining, including the Banggai cardinalfish and clarion angelfish. “Many threatened species slip through global trade rules,” said Dr Bing Lin from the University of Sydney, who led…

Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine. They were recognized “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance,” announced the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Each will share 11 million Swedish kronor, about £871,400. “We reached only Sakaguchi,” said Nobel secretary Thomas Perlmann. The trio’s work explains how the immune system avoids attacking the body’s own tissues. T-cells, key white blood cells, defend against infections and cancer. But when misdirected, they trigger autoimmune diseases. Sakaguchi discovered regulatory T-cells, or T-reg cells, which suppress harmful immune reactions. “They’re the brakes of the immune system,” said…

The world’s second-largest economy is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and robotics. At the core of this effort is a clear goal: produce high-end chips that rival the world’s best. Last month, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, warned that China was only “nanoseconds behind” the U.S. in chip development. The question now is whether Beijing can catch up and end its dependence on imported technology.
