A developer has launched Bluesky Atlas, a new tool built around the Bluesky social network.

Early reactions appear to be curiosity about how the tool works and what it maps.

A new Atlas Intel poll in Brazil puts Lula at 45.3% and Flávio Bolsonaro at 42.2% in a first-round scenario for the 2026 presidential election, with the two statistically tied.

The numbers are fueling debate about Bolsonarismo's strength under a new standard-bearer and Lula's re-election prospects.

Scientists have compiled a two-dimensional atlas of topological materials, cataloguing how these exotic substances behave in 2D forms. The atlas is expected to help researchers identify promising candidates for next-generation electronics and quantum technologies. Coverage focuses on how the classification could speed up the study of materials whose unusual properties are protected against defects, a key goal in condensed matter physics.

A new Atlas poll shows Brazil's presidential race in a statistical tie, with former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro level in a hypothetical runoff scenario. The result suggests Brazil remains deeply polarised ahead of the next election, with neither camp able to break away despite shifting political dynamics.
