Tech journalist Karen Hao’s debut book, “Empire of AI,” sheds light on the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence, where companies like OpenAI prioritize profit over transparency and ethics. Hao argues that AI itself isn’t the problem, but rather the culture of developing new capabilities at all costs, which has led to the exploitation of marginalized…
Astronomers at the University of Hawai’i’s Institute for Astronomy have made a groundbreaking discovery, detecting the most energetic cosmic explosions known to have occurred since the universe began. These extreme nuclear transients (ENTs) emit at least 10 times as much energy as the previous record holders and could open a new window into physical processes…
A recent collision of two massive black holes has left scientists stunned, as the event challenges current theories of how large black holes form and merge. The two black holes, each with masses over 100 times that of the sun, spiraled around each other before coalescing into a single black hole with a mass of…
Perplexity, a startup, has launched its first AI-powered web browser, Comet, aiming to challenge Google Search as the primary avenue for finding information online. Comet features Perplexity’s AI search engine and Comet Assistant, an AI agent that automates routine tasks. The browser is initially available to subscribers of Perplexity’s Max plan and a small group…
Researchers at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) have successfully created the acoustic equivalent of a rainbow, a structure that spatially decomposes sound into its component frequencies in free space. This breakthrough was made possible by an advanced structural design technique and could lead to the development of devices tailored to emit or receive specific frequencies of…
SpacePay, a revolutionary new platform, is poised to change the way we perceive and use cryptocurrency for everyday transactions. By providing a decentralized system with zero waiting times, compatibility with over 325 wallets, and volatility protection, SpacePay aims to make crypto payments as easy and secure as traditional cash or card transactions. The platform’s presale…
Astronomers have discovered a rare interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, which may be 3 billion years older than the sun and its planets. The object, first spotted on July 1, is believed to have originated from the Milky Way’s thick disk, with a two-thirds chance of being a 7 billion-year-old comet. While more data is required to…
Apple has released the third developer beta of iOS 26, toning down the new Liquid Glass design language introduced at WWDC 2025. The update addresses usability, accessibility, and legibility issues in various areas of the mobile operating system, including Notifications and navigation within Apple’s first-party apps. However, some users now complain that Apple has gone…
Scientists at the University of Oxford and Sorbonne University have proposed a groundbreaking theory that black holes could be used as cosmic particle accelerators, producing energies hundreds of times higher than those reached in existing colliders. This phenomenon could lead to the detection of gamma rays and ultrahigh-energy neutrinos, offering a new approach to observations…
