What brought Brazil down in the 1998 final was not tactics or bad luck, it was the way pressure hijacks the attention of the person who prepared the most. Using Timothy Gallwey's classic, this Radar shows why we freeze in decisive moments and what it takes to come unstuck.

Choking under pressure

In elite sport, the upset is almost always an optical illusion. This radar uses Leicester, Greece, and the science of Gould and Ericsson to show why what looks like luck is usually preparation.

Why upsets don't exist

The G7 is back in Évian amid tariffs, a minerals crunch, and a fragile deal over the Strait of Hormuz. Understand what the club of seven decides and why it lands on your cost sheet.

What Is the G7?

After nearly four months and more than 30 broken promises, the United States and Iran announced a deal to end the war, and this time both sides confirmed it. What was agreed, how things got here, and what could still go wrong before the signing.

After a string of plane crashes in the US and around the world, it feels like the sky turned dangerous. This piece uses cognitive science and aviation's real numbers to show why the perception spikes, and why it almost never matches the statistics.

Are there really more plane crashes?

Understanding the science behind your decision making and behavior is a great asset in the battle to a more fulfilled life.

Psychology

The largest study ever conducted on regret reveals an uncomfortable pattern: in the end, almost no one regrets what they dared, only what they didn't. Why the emotion you were taught to despise is actually the most informative one you have.

The science of regret

Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in history after SpaceX's record IPO, $75 billion raised and a market value near $2 trillion. Behind the number sits an unprofitable company and a valuation that leans on AI, not rockets.

Penicillin, the Post-it, and the Brazilian bee that terrorized the country before it made it rich. Three accidents that became inventions, and what they teach about luck put to good use.

The science of making the most of what went wrong


Every decade, technology gets its definitive catastrophe. This time it has a name, Claude Mythos, and it just became a product. Why fear and wonder are sold in the same package, and what changes when the threat comes with an invoice.

What great leaders are made of? Learn from the people who have more to offer in the realm of leadership than just words. 

Management & Leadership

Everyone is accelerating on the AI wave, convinced efficiency is the only rational move. This Radar shows why the play that looks inefficient (choosing a few things and doing them with excellence) is usually the one with the highest return.

The efficiency paradox

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2009, accumulated over a million coins, and disappeared without a trace. Now, a New York Times investigation points to British cryptographer Adam Back as the leading suspect. In this Radar 12min, we tell the full story: from the cypherpunks to the genesis block, from the 2008 crisis to the 78-billion-dollar fortune no one has ever touched. And we explain why Satoshi's identity matters to anyone who invests, builds businesses, or wants to understand the future of money.

The richest ghost in the world: who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Radar twelve min tracks what is shifting in the worlds of technology, science, and business and translates it into useful reading. No alarmism, no hype, just enough context for you to form your own opinion about what is coming.

TRIBE V2 — THE MACHINE THAT LEARNED TO READ THE BRAIN

Google launched Gemini Omni on Tuesday, an artificial intelligence that creates and edits videos through conversation, builds avatars with the user's own voice and face, and rolls out free on YouTube Shorts. In this Radar, we cover what changes, what to worry about, and what to do with the news that puts deepfake production within reach of anyone.

Was video proof? Used to be... look at Google's new AI


In two thousand and twenty-six, war became a content strategy. From Call of Duty-style videos posted by the White House to Lego animations produced for the Iranian government, this piece maps how memes, AI-generated images, and viral propaganda are shaping global perception of the Iran conflict... and why the real battle may now be happening in your feed.

War and Memes... How Propaganda Went Viral

Meta put AI agents to work answering and closing sales on their own inside WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. Behind the product, a bigger plan: to become the entire infrastructure of your business, from the sale to the cloud.

AI: Meta wants to sell for you

Staring out the window isn't wasted time. Neuroscience shows that the wandering mind activates the default mode network — the same one that links memory, daydreaming and creativity. A Radar on why stopping is, for the brain, a form of work.

What happens in your brain when you do nothing

Science spoiler: lazy people don't have too little dopamine. They have too much of it, just in the wrong region of the brain. Here's what that changes about your next Monday morning.

HOW TO BEAT LAZINESS

Personal Development

For a long time, calm was treated as a personality trait — you either had it or you did not. The neuroscience of the past two decades shows the opposite. Regulating emotions is a skill, with an identifiable brain circuit and measurable effects on health, decisions, and relationships.

Understanding and Training Self-Control

Radar 12min is a narrative audio journalism show produced by 12min. Each episode takes one relevant topic and turns it into a dense, direct story — no filler, no fluff. You get verified facts, real context, and a closing section that helps you think through what to actually do with the information. This episode is about artificial intelligence... but not the kind you've already heard about a hundred times. It's about what AI is doing right now, in the real world.
