Way Dynamic

Filmmaker Richard Sidey captured footage at dawn in Ilulissat, Greenland, showing an iceberg splitting apart as huge slabs of blue ice collapse into the sea. The calving sends fractures and waves rippling across the surrounding water, with deep creaks and rumbles audible as the ice gives way. The striking images and sound of the natural event have drawn attention online, highlighting the dramatic dynamics of Greenland's ice.

Researchers with the American Physical Society report generating water waves that arrange themselves into quasicrystalline patterns — ordered structures that never repeat, previously seen mainly in certain alloys and crystals. The work extends quasicrystal physics to fluid dynamics, offering a new way to study these unusual symmetries in a tabletop experiment. Physicists are highlighting it as a striking demonstration of exotic order in an everyday medium.

Saudi Arabia still has no diplomatic relations with Israel, but its airspace rules have changed. Until 2022, Israeli airlines and Israel-bound flights were barred from entering Saudi airspace, and the kingdom's leading aviation operator, Cluster2, said coordination was under way to handle flights. The opening is being discussed as a sign of shifting dynamics in the region.

Way Dynamic's track 'Miffed It' is being played on BBC 6 Music during Chris Hawkins's show. The song, by the band fronted with ties to Ukraine-flagged listeners, is available on Bandcamp and Spotify. Listeners are picking up on the airplay as the track circulates alongside the station's ongoing support for independent artists.
