New tectonic plate boundary could be forming in Zambia, scientists say Added: May 14, 2026
New tectonic plate boundary could be forming in Zambia, scientists say
Isotope analysis of gas from geothermal springs in Zambia could show that a new continental rift is forming, scientists say. Unexpectedly high helium isotope ratios indicate that a weakness in Earth's crust has broken through to reach the mantle beneath. This rift could eventually become a new tectonic plate boundary. In the meantime, opportunities for geothermal energy could boost local economies.

US-China trade talks: Trump holds stronger hand Added: May 14, 2026
In Beijing, Trump easily holds the winning hand
Site: The Hill
Xi thinks he can bluff with two pair, but Trump is holding a full house.
President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are meeting in Beijing. It is Trumpâs first visit to Beijing this term, and their first encounter since they met in South Korea in October. When the two men look across the table at each other, their advisers silently arrayed by their sides, each will almost certainly think that he is holding all the cards. But Xi holds a losing hand. Xi is likely to walk into his meeting with Trump buoyed by the belief that America has come to him, showing itself to be a weakened and declining power, facing a stalemate in Iran and Ukraine and deteriorating relations with Europe and Africa. His advisors â who serve to implement his vision and reinforce his thinking â will fortify his perception that time is on China's side. In Beijingâs view, the Global Financial Crisis, the polarization of American politics and accompanying political violence, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, are proof of the failure of the U.S. and the Western democratic system. Xi also enters the summit convinced that China is on the rise â a fact reflected in global polls that show China and the U.S. now running neck and neck in favorability compared to a few years ago. In Beijing, advisors have likely calculated that Xiâs best bet is to play up to Trumpâs appreciation of pomp and flattery, including offers to reduce the trade deficit through agriculture purchases, Boeing Jets and energy. Xi has reasons to extend China's strategic pause in rhetoric and escalatory actions â especially on trade, Taiwan, and the South China Sea â that started in Busan. He may well seek to keep Trump distracted through a series of dialogue proposals that lead nowhere, as China has successfully done through the decades on narcotics, human rights, arms control and, more recently, artificial intelligence. Look for Xi to suggest renewed talks on all or some of these subjects, a strategy that amounts to Lilliputian threads to tie down the Gulliver of the U.S. Trump and his advisors, for their part, enter the Summit with a very different perspective on themselves and the world. American actions in Venezuela, Cuba and across Latin America â including blocking Chinese control of the Panama Canal and edging Huawei out of deals in Paraguay and Chile â have begun to curb Chinese and Russian influence in the Western hemisphere. They have ended sweetheart business deals, exposed corrupt officials and cut off Chinese intelligence operations against the U.S. Meanwhile, Trump's actions in Iran and Syria, and across the Middle East, have shown that the U.S. is serious again about the use of lethal force. China's absence from the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has also revealed to Gulf allies the depth of Chinaâs unreliability. When Bahrain made a motion in the United Nations to censure Iran over its closure of the Strait, China (along with Russia) vetoed the resolution despite extensive lobbying. It was a moment that wasnât closely watched in public. But, behind closed doors, Gulf countries have made clear that they noticed and will not forget it. For Xi, putting all his money on Iran and against the U.S. military, as well as international freedom of navigation principles, will prove very costly. Xi believes that time is on Chinaâs side. But an objective appraisal casts doubt on that confidence. Chinaâs population is aging. Although it sits on vast dollar (and oil) reserves, its economy is on track to stagnate and decline. Its real estate markets are massively over-leveraged, presenting a real risk for a flash crisis. It has a dangerous dependency on overseas energy. Its youth unemployment rate, which the government openly started manipulating after it topped 20 percent in 2023, was officially 16.9 percent in March. It likely tops 20 percent if students seeking jobs are included again, like they used to be. China is also still beholden to American technology developments. It must continually buy overseas talent, through shiny new labs and generous salaries, as well as intellectual property through the purchase of American companies, to keep at pace with U.S. frontier technologies. Although Huawei dominates in developing markets for 5G, American and allied companies are poised to own the next generations of technology that follows. Think quantum, high end semiconductors, aerospace, biosciences, and â despite the hype â AI. Overall, although Americans would like greater access to Chinese markets, China is inexorably reliant on U.S. markets â to sell the goods from its export driven economic model, to promote its technology, and to keep America reliant on cheap imports from China. Xi would also be very mistaken to perceive a strategic pause in our competition as a sign of acquiescence. On the contrary, it was a galvanizing acknowledgement that we wonât let ourselves become dependent on another country for crucial supply-chain components again. It may take a moment to turn around our vast aircraft carrier of a country, with all of its regulations and special-interest groups. But we are already seeing this on critical minerals, where the U.S. is reorienting critical minerals supply-chains toward domestic production through massive investments in processing, reprocessing mine waste, and strategic stockpiling supported by government initiatives. The U.S. has deep reserves of national will to reorient our economy. So what will the much-heralded summit and its attendant fanfare bring, other than some sense of stability in US-China relations? Probably, first and foremost an announcement that the two leaders will meet again in America sometime in the coming months â aside from at the G20 in Miami. In addition, itâs likely that the Chinese will announce large purchases of agriculture products like soy and beef, as well as Boeing airplanes to balance the trade deficit somewhat. Also likely is the announcement of a "Board of Trade" and a "Board of Investment" to provide reassurance, without details, to the global economic community that there is a path toward settling disputes. Just as when the World Series of pokerâs final hand is televised and we can see what each player holds, it is easier to make the right call from the comfort of the couch. It looks like this: Xi thinks he can bluff with two pair, but Trump is holding a full house. Nick Snyder is a recently retired senior State Department official of more than 20 years, who worked mainly on Asia policy and advised former Vice President Mike Pence.

Everyone at the Musk v. Altman Trial Is Using Fancy Butt Cushions | WIRED Added: May 14, 2026
Everyone at the Musk v. Altman Trial Is Using Fancy Butt Cushions
Site: WIRED
The plaintiffs and defense have rested their cases, as well as their rear ends.
The courtroom is littered with butt cushions. Several of the hard, wooden benches on the right side of US district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogersâ courtroom are reserved for OpenAI and Microsoftâs attorneys, executives, and other members of the defense. About 10 people, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and general counsel Che Chang, have benefitted from thick black cushionsâthe plushest of them from the brand Purple; $120 from Targetâthat spare their butts from hours of sitting. Some cushions have rounded corners, while others are square. On Wednesday, Chang even put one behind his back, a less common but not unprecedented move in the courtroom. OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife, Anna, have watched a considerable portion of the trialâand have both been prolific users of pristine white pillows. Judging from the tags bursting from the seams, the pillows seem to be from the sleeping goods brand Coop, which sells a two pack of alternative down-filled throw pillows for $35. On Wednesday, an OpenAI bodyguard carried a purple handbag into the courtroom, with a pillow for each of the Brockmans. Anna gave her husband just a minute to suffer in pillow-less oblivion before she discreetly passed one to him and then situated her own. I felt bad for OpenAI chief futurist Joshua Achiam, who later took Brockmanâs seat but wasnât left with either of the pillows. (Achiam eventually did obtain one of the more standard black cushions.) OpenAI did not immediately respond to WIREDâs request for comment. One longtime technology lawyer told WIRED that using cushions or pillows isn't exactly "customary," but noted, "it's not totally out of left field." Personally, he said, he has never seen lawyers use pillows or cushions during his trials, but then again, he's "never been involved in a trial that has lasted as many days as that one." The core litigators in this case sit in comparatively luxurious leather chairs, though a couple do show signs of fraying, so maybe the padding isnât as robust as it appears. My last time in this courtroom for an hours-long stretch was in 2021, covering portions of the Epic Games v. Apple trial. But capacity was limited back then because of Covid concerns, so I had plenty of room to stretch out. This time around, the courtroom has been filled nearly to its maximum capacityâabout 150 peopleâincluding bench seats for up to 90. I thought about bringing my own cushion roughly an hour into my first day of the trial at the end of April, because, well, these benches are deeply uncomfortable. But I didn't want to come off as weak. None of the other two dozen or so reporters regularly in attendanceâincluding one who is pregnantâseemed to bring cushions, at least, initially. So I went through a run of six days with my bottom and back getting sorer by the minute. Last week, after a particularly brutal morning, I finally decided to bring in some help. I couldnât find the well-padded seat cushion meant for stadium bleachers, so I settled for a âcoolingâ cushion passed out at the steaming-hot outdoor venues at the Tokyo Olympics. About two seconds into using it on Wednesday morning for the first time, I ruled it counterproductive. It was too small and too thin to offer any relief. My back got particularly stressed when furiously typing notes about the Musk-inspired jackass trophy, which reportedly once had its own pillow. Four hours in, I gave up on the pillow entirely. But I noticed one New York Times reporter who eventually caved, as well as the courtroom artistâwho has a particularly colorful cushionâremained seated on their pillows. Maybe Iâll find a better remedy for next week, when Gonzalez Rogers will hear arguments about potential penalties. Maxwell Zeff contributed to this report.

On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping told President Trump ahead of their high-stakes meeting in Beijing that the major question that China and the U.S. will have to answer is whether they can avoid the "Thucydides Trap." Xi asked if both countries can overcome the "Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major country relations?" according to CNBC, citing the Chinese-based outlet CCTV. The Chinese president has used the term as far back as 2014, Bloomberg reported. Xi also warned Trump about tensions between both countries over Taiwan, arguing that "'Taiwan independence' and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning wrote on the social platform X. The concept of a "Thucydides Trap," popularized in the early 2010s by Harvard University political scientist Graham Allison, borrows the name of ancient Athenian historian Thucydides. Allison's concept postulates that the threat of war exists when tensions escalate between a rising power and a ruling power before ultimately leading to conflict. Thucydides wrote about the concept in his late 5th century B.C. text about ancient Greece's two city-states, "History of the Peloponnesian War." "It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this instilled in Sparta that made war inevitable," Thucydides wrote, according to the Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Allison directed this concept toward the relationship between China and the U.S. in his own book, "Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap?" He presented 16 cases where two powers faced the "trap." 12 of those rivalries ended in war. For example, the conflict between the U.S. and Japan in the 20th century eventually led to the U.S. entering World War II after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Allison posits Japan as the rising power and the U.S. as the ruling power. However, four of those 16 cases avoided violence altogether. Allison looked at the rising power of the Soviet Union in contrast to the U.S.'s ruling authority as a superpower. This, he suggested, is an example where the threat of war ââ the Cold War ââ did not lead to open conflict despite the proxy wars between both powers. Another such rivalry was the tension between the United Kingdom and France against a rising Germany following the end of the Cold War. Germany chose to rise through peaceful means and expand its economic strength rather than redeveloping its military presence.

Israel to sue New York Times over Palestinian prisoner rape allegations
Site: The Hill
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his countryâs foreign ministry said Thursday they will sue The New York Times, accusing the outlet of defamation after it published a column alleâŚ
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his country's foreign ministry said Thursday they will sue The New York Times, accusing the outlet of defamation after it published a column alleging that Israeli prison guards sexually abuse and assault imprisoned Palestinians. "Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and [columnist] Nicholas Kristof," Netanyahu wrote on the social platform X. "They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israelâs valiant soldiers." The prime minister added that "Israel will not be silent" under his leadership and that the truth "will prevail." The foreign ministry said in its own statement that the column showcased "one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper." Kristof's column, titled "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians," published Monday, chronicles accounts from 14 Palestinian men and women, including freelance journalist Sami al-Sai, who said they were beaten by Israeli guards after they were detained, before they were sexually assaulted, in some cases repeatedly. "There is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes," Kristof wrote. "But in recent years they have built a security apparatus where sexual violence has become, as a United Nations report put it last year, one of Israelâs 'standard operating procedures' and 'a major element in the ill treatment of Palestinians.'" He cites several humanitarian organizations in his column, including Save the Children's 2025 survey that found more than half of the children detained by Israel reported witnessing or experiencing sexual violence. In a report, 17 out of 59 Palestinian journalists told the Committee to Protect Journalists, another resource Kristof relied on, that they endured some form of sexual violence. Two of the 59 said they were raped. "The Israeli government rejects suggestions that it sexually abuses Palestinians, just as Hamas denied raping Israeli women," Kristof wrote. "Israel welcomed a United Nations report documenting sexual assaults against Israeli women by Palestinians but rejected the report's call to investigate Israeli assaults against Palestinians. Netanyahu has denounced 'baseless accusations of sexual violence' made against Israel." Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said in a statement Wednesday, before the suit was announced, that the paper consulted with independent experts to fact-check the column. He emphasized the piece's use of "news reporting, independent research from human-rights groups, surveys and, in one case, with U.N. testimony." "Nicholas Kristof's deeply reported piece of opinion journalism starts with a proposition to readers: 'Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape,'" Stadtlander said. "He draws together on-the-record accounts and cites several analyses documenting the practice of sexual violence and abuse conducted by various parts of Israel's security forces and settlers." Stadtlander also defended Kristof after "The Young Turks" contributor David Shuster posted on X that the Times was considering retracting Kristof's story. Both Stadtlander and Kristof replied that this was not accurate. The Hill has reached out to the Times for further comment.
