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
Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping the brain ignore distractions and zero in on what matters most。 When researchers temporarily switched off these neurons in mice, the animals became unusually distractible—similar to what is seen in ADHD—but regained normal f
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new twist in what happens when cells die。 As dying cells break apart, they leave behind tiny “footprints of death” packed with newly discovered particles that help guide the immune system to clean up the remains。 But researchers found that influenza viruses can exploit this process, hiding inside these microsc
Vitamin B12 is needed in microscopic amounts, but a shortage can have major effects on health and energy。 The vitamin was first linked to a lifesaving liver treatment for pernicious anemia nearly 100 years ago。 Today, researchers are finding that B12 may also help keep cellular powerhouses called mitochondria functioning properly
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 new study suggests early humans were using fire in South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave as far back as 1。79 million years ago。 Researchers found burned bones deep inside the cave, where natural wildfires could not have reached, indicating that fire was likely carried in and maintained by human ancestors
What if consciousness isn’t limited to brains like ours。 Philosophers Eric Schwitzgebel and Jeremy Pober argue that consciousness could arise in many different forms of life, even in beings built from radically different materials than those found on Earth。 Drawing on the vastness of the universe and the likely existence of countless alien civiliza
In a new court filing, The Times accused Microsoft of encouraging OpenAI to train its A。 systems using copyrighted articles
Researchers found that a rare liver cancer evades immunotherapy by luring immune T cells away from the tumor and trapping them in nearby fibrous tissue。 An FDA-approved drug called AMD3100 freed those T cells to attack the cancer, significantly improving the effectiveness of immunotherapy in tumor samples
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
The move comes as the Trump administration is trying to weaken the act that’s meant to protect endangered species from going extinct in the first place
Notion is "going all in on using agents to run your inbox
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
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
This year, FIFA is providing an AI agent that any team can use。 Is it enough to level the playing field or will future winners be determined by which team can afford the best tools
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 story of a woman who let a robot into her home。 Plus, a discussion about why Silicon Valley has taken such an interest in taste
Tesla, Sunrun and Renew Home plan to tap solar panels, batteries, thermostats and other devices installed in millions of homes to meet the energy demands of artificial intelligence
Kids love 3D printers almost as much as K-Pop Demon Hunters。 Just give in and get one
A supercomputer in Shenzhen was declared the world’s fastest。 It uses only standard microprocessors and not the special-purpose chips called graphics processing units
