NASA plans to open up competition for control over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which has historically been operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). This move is part of ...
The Hidden Cost of Frictionless Technology Taotuner — 2026I recently asked an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations. It listed five places, complete with ratings, distance, and popular dishes. I picked one, went, had a fine meal. Later, when a friend asked what I'd eaten, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant.The experience wasn't bad. It was frictionless. And it left almost no trace.We've built tools that eliminate the gap between want and satisfaction, questi
Hey,I finally dare to raise the curtains to my 3D physics-modeled arena game, where players' algorithms fight and perform tasks.The arena treats algorithms as a black box, meaning that the implementation of algorithms is in the free hands of the players via the Algohol API. Algohol is roughly in the same context as Screeps or Battlesnake, but brings its own dimension to the genre.At the moment the only world is energy economy based SciFI, but there will be Terra (traditional kinetic combat
My point is about structuring and indexing an arbitrary dataset, for preprocessing before eg segmentation/clustering, neighbor querys...In 1D, sorting is trivial because scalar values have a total, unambiguous order. In 2D and higher dimensions, there is no single way to order points, and points can't all be compared >=/<= in a consistant way. Space-filling curves like Hilbert or Z-order curves still can order Nd points by mapping them to a 1D index, but flattening the space
A study suggests an unusual LIGO gravitational wave signal may be evidence of a primordial black hole, a long-hypothesized object that could help explain...
Nuclear spaceship is now on NASA’s actual roadmap with a launch target before the end of the decade. The agency just unveiled plans for SR-1 (Space Reactor-1 Freedom), a nuclear-powered spacecraft ...
ESA's Plato spacecraft completes critical testing ahead of its spaceflight.
HSINCHU, Taiwan, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andrew Cooper, Associate Professor at National Tsing Hua University's Institute of Astronomy, has joined the European Space Agency's newly approved ARRAKIHS mission, which will launch a space telescope in 2030 to explore the faint outermost regions of galaxies that have long remained beyond the reach of observation. As Co-Chair of the Galaxy Science Working Group, Cooper leads an NTHU research team in developing theoretical models using high-performance computing to help the international collaboration interpret the mission's future observations and, for the first time, reconstruct the unique formation history of individual galaxies.

Every now and then, Apple products go into space. For example, NASA's Perseverance rover is powered by an old Mac chip. But it's not the same as sending a product made for Earth to space. With man ...
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope could use stars torn apart by black holes to reveal how the universe’s earliest cosmic giants formed and grew.
What would happen if you put a couple of physicists in a room with a rope, a box and a black hole? They might come up with a ...
NASA's next super telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, may leave nowhere to hide for black holes that violently murder and devour stars, not even cosmic noon.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured one of the clearest views yet of how an early supermassive black hole may grow within a network of young galaxies. The compact active ...
