Senator decries "blatant, brazen corruption," wants to target Trump admin next

In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser flashes blast matter into a superheated plasma。 By combining two cutting-edge lasers, researchers were able to track how copper atoms lose and regain electrons in trillionths of a second, creating and dissolving highly charge

Scientists are grappling with a cosmic mystery: why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our own solar system。 While distant galaxies reveal clear signs of something bending the rules of gravity—often attributed to dark energy or a hidden “fifth force”—everything nearby seems to follow Einstein’s playbook perfectly

AI-powered personas are becoming so realistic that they can infiltrate online communities and subtly steer public opinion。 Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of consensus。 Early warning signs—like deepfakes and fake news networks—have already appeared in global elec

Two launches this week delivered 61 more satellites to orbit for the Amazon Leo broadband network

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents。 By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, small-scale currents that were previously impossible to observe directly。 These currents are key to understanding climate, marine ecosystems, and carbo

AWS stops billing Middle East cloud customers as repairs to war damage drag on

It's not clear whether Virgin Galactic has the cash reserves to fund a prolonged test phase

A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient。 Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium oxide that mimics how neurons process and store information at the same time。 Unlike conventional chips that waste energy moving data back and forth, this

A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar cataclysm。 After detecting ripples in space-time, scientists spotted a fast-fading red glow that initially looked like a rare kilonova—the kind of collision that forges gold and uranium。 But just days later, the signal shifted, beha

Different hunting patterns seem to dictate different distributions of metal

Astronomers have long been puzzled by a cosmic mystery: planets orbiting two stars—like Star Wars’ Tatooine—are surprisingly rare, even though they should be common。 New research suggests the culprit is none other than Einstein’s theory of general relativity

Scientists have created tiny “optical tornadoes” — swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds — using a surprisingly simple setup based on liquid crystals。 Instead of relying on complex nanotechnology, the team used self-organizing structures called torons to trap and manipulate light, causing it to spiral and rotate in intricate

Scientists have developed a fuel cell that uses microbes in soil to produce electricity。 The device can power underground sensors for tasks like monitoring moisture or detecting touch, without needing batteries or solar panels。 It works in both dry and wet conditions and even lasts longer than similar technologies

In addition to being full of screens, China now wants its cars to be packed with AI

Calling AI things like “smart” or saying it “knows” something might sound harmless, but it can quietly mislead people about what AI actually does。 A new study shows that news writers are more careful than expected, rarely using strongly human-like language。 When they do, it often falls on a spectrum—sometimes describing simple requirements, other t

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet。 Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during totality。 The effect was so pronounced that it

Scientists have discovered unexpected water-ice clouds on a distant, Jupiter-like exoplanet, challenging current atmospheric models。 By directly imaging Epsilon Indi Ab with the James Webb Space Telescope, they found less ammonia than expected—likely hidden by thick, patchy clouds。 The finding reveals new layers of complexity in giant planets and s

The outage has hampered communication concerning a critical vulnerability that gives root
