Vinatieri Sets Guinness Record with Field Goal at 11,332 Feet in Swiss Alps

Adam Vinatieri set a Guinness World Record on Sept. 22 by kicking a field goal at 3,454 meters (11,332 feet) above sea level at Jungfraujoch in the Swiss Alps. The 53-year-old Hall of Famer, who retired in 2019, converted the kick on snow-covered ground with swirling winds. The event was organized by the New England Patriots to promote their Nov. 15 international game against the Detroit Lions in Munich. Vinatieri wore a Patriots jersey for the attempt, which was certified by a Guinness adjudicator. The record follows his August 2026 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and his career as the NFL’s all-time leading scorer with 2,673 points and 599 field goals.

From Nomad to World Cup Hero: Beiranvand's unlikely rise

Beiranvand grew up in a Kurdish nomad family, ran away at 12 after his father dismissed football as a job, slept rough and did odd jobs before breaking through at Naft Tehran. Now in his third World Cup for Iran, the 1.95m ‘Wall of Persia’ earned Man of the Match against Belgium, produced a crucial save, and holds Guinness records for a 61m throw and a 78m drop kick, having also saved Ronaldo in 2018 and helped Tractor clinch a league title after leaving Persepolis.

Invisible Nano QR Code Opens Door to Ultra-Durable Data Storage

Researchers at TU Wien and Cerabyte printed a QR code on a ceramic film at just 1.977 square micrometers with 49-nanometer pixels. It remains invisible to the eye, can be scanned with an electron microscope, and has earned a Guinness World Record. The team envisions durable ceramic data storage that could hold over 2 terabytes on a single A4 page, offering long-term accessibility for future generations.
