The race to build data centers in space is gaining momentum as AI drives unprecedented demand for computing power。 Orbital facilities could tap into abundant solar energy and avoid many of the environmental challenges faced on Earth。 Yet space remains a harsh and expensive place to operate, with major hurdles including cooling, maintenance, radiati
The global cobalt supply chain is more interconnected—and more vulnerable—than previously thought, with disruptions capable of triggering far-reaching cascades across multiple countries and industries。 Researchers warn that protecting battery supply chains will require system-wide coordination because critical bottlenecks can turn local shocks into
Animals from different species often rely on surprisingly sophisticated communication to work together, whether finding food, cleaning parasites, or gaining protection。 New research suggests these interspecies “conversations” are flexible, evolved, and far more important to life in nature than scientists once realized
NASA’s upgraded Cold Atom Lab is turning the International Space Station into a frontier for quantum research, creating ultra-cold matter that behaves in astonishing ways。 The experiments could unlock new discoveries about the universe while paving the way for powerful future technologies in space and on Earth
A newly discovered feathered dinosaur called Jian changmaensis may be the missing predator responsible for mysterious piles of crushed prehistoric bird bones in China。 The four-winged glider, a close cousin of Velociraptor, helps reveal how early birds and their dinosaur relatives shared the same ancient landscape
Freshwater lakes across North America and Europe are becoming noticeably browner, reducing underwater visibility and reshaping fish populations。 Research found that several popular sport fish, including trout, bass, perch, and whitefish, tend to decline in darker waters。 Meanwhile, walleye and northern pike often become more abundant because they a
TikZ is a widely-used LaTeX package for drawing figures in papers。 It uses commands like \draw[->] (0,0) -- (1,2); to draw lines, shapes, text, etc。 Academics usually code up their figures by hand, so there is lots of twiddling around with the coordinates and recompiling until things look nice
A bird long thought to be a single rare species in Japan has turned out to be two。 Scientists discovered that the elusive Ijima’s Leaf Warbler and a newly identified Tokara Leaf Warbler look almost identical, but their DNA and songs reveal they are distinct species。 The finding marks Japan’s first new bird species discovery in more than 40 years an
Astronomers may be closing in on a long-standing cosmic mystery: why some of the universe’s biggest galaxies seem to have far fewer stars than expected。 Using NASA- and JAXA-supported XRISM observations of a galaxy called NGC 4151, researchers found strong evidence that supermassive black holes can unleash powerful winds that blow away the raw mate
A new SETI study suggests we may be overlooking alien signals not because they aren't there, but because their own stars are scrambling them before they escape into space。 Turbulent plasma and powerful stellar storms can spread an ultra-narrow radio transmission across a wider range of frequencies, making it much harder for traditional searches to
Kevin Roose and Casey Newton explain why they try to include “a little chaos” when they record their New York Times tech podcast in front of a crowd in San Francisco
The driver told investigators he was using the vehicle’s automated-driver system when the vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a house in Harris County, Texas
Coherence Neuro has started testing a brain-computer interface that could one day use electrical stimulation to prevent tumors from growing
Scientists discovered that kombucha’s flavor, chemistry, and antioxidant activity vary dramatically depending on the tea used to make it。 Green and oolong tea kombuchas emerged as the most biologically active, while fermentation transformed each tea into a distinctly different beverage
A new theory suggests the universe is constantly recording its own history in the fabric of spacetime。 If correct, this cosmic memory could help solve some of the biggest puzzles in physics, from black holes to dark matter and the universe’s ultimate fate
The employees encouraged limits on the complexes in a series of hearings in the tech giant’s hometown, Seattle
Himalayan villages are creating artificial glaciers to guarantee water for their crops in the spring
“I think if you have a creative voice in writing or design, you put yourself out there and you take a risk — this is a good time to do that,” said the Figma chief executive Dylan Field
WhatsApp's leadership shake-up comes as Meta looks to strengthen its app's already booming presence in India
Researchers uncovered why H5N1 bird flu attacks cows’ udders instead of their lungs: the virus’s preferred receptors are concentrated in mammary tissue。 The breakthrough could help scientists predict future bird flu jumps and spot unusual infections before they spread widely
