Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has acquired a 1 million-square-foot property in Southwest Memphis to expand its AI data center footprint. This move is part of xAI’s efforts to upgrade its primary Memphis-based facility, Colossus, to 1 million Nvidia GPUs. While this expansion is expected to boost AI innovation, it has also raised concerns about…
As the Trump administration’s repeated threats to research funding and mass firings of federal workers push scientists to take on unfamiliar roles as activists, a new wave of advocacy is emerging across the United States. Researchers are speaking at rallies, calling legislators, and forming new pressure groups to protect taxpayer-funded research and push back against…

Researchers have discovered hundreds of erupting volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io, with high-resolution images revealing dozens of massive lava lakes. These lakes are significantly larger than their Earthly counterparts and offer valuable insights into the moon’s volcanic activity and magma movement. The findings are expected to shed light on the plumbing system that powers Io’s…
French AI developer Mistral has launched a new API, Mistral OCR, which enables developers to convert complex PDF documents into text files, making them easily ingestible by AI models. This multimodal API can detect and process illustrations, photos, and text within documents, outputting formatted Markdown files. The API is expected to simplify access to internal…
Researchers in Australia have developed a nanosensor that can detect the onset of gestational diabetes with 95% accuracy. The superparamagnetic “nanoflower” sensor uses specially engineered nanoparticles to isolate and detect biomarkers in the blood associated with complications in early pregnancy. This technology has the potential to revolutionize risk assessment and improve clinical decision-making in obstetric…
A four-legged robot named Blue Ghost, built by Firefly Aerospace, has successfully landed on the Moon, marking a significant milestone for commercial space exploration. This achievement is a result of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services programme, which aims to contract with aerospace companies to fly scientific instruments to the Moon. The Blue Ghost lander will…
US President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement of a government-backed Crypto Strategic Reserve has sent shockwaves through the financial and crypto industries. The reserve, which includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, marks a significant shift in how digital assets could integrate into national financial strategy. While some see this as a historic move, others warn…
Thousands of scientists, researchers, and advocates gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to protest federal employee firings and proposed funding cuts by the Trump administration. The rally, one of 32 events across the country, aimed to promote science and defend federal support for research. Participants expressed concern over the potential threat to scientific…
Physicists in Austria have successfully verified a long-predicted phenomenon from Einstein’s special theory of relativity, known as the “Terrell effect.” This effect states that objects moving near the speed of light will appear rotated to an external observer. Researchers used a laser and an ultrafast stop-motion camera to capture the rotation of a sphere and…
