Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have mapped the largest section of the universe’s dark matter yet, deepening our understanding of how this mysterious substance shapes the cosmic landscape.Dark matter is notoriously difficult to study because it does not interact with light. Astronomers can detect it only by looking at its gravitational effects on baryonic, or “ordinary,” matter. Observations of these interactions reveal that there is about five times as much dark matter in the universe as normal matter.The new study, published Jan. 26 in the journal Nature Astronomy, mapped a piece of sky in the Sextans constellation.…

Many tech fans have been complaining about how boring smartphones have become recently. The vast majority of the phones people use are slabs of glass and metal that differ mostly in size and specs.

The company’s goal is to launch a device that connects to the Starlink satellite internet constellation and challenge smartphones.There are no further details about…

Another week is in the books at Kotaku. Anime got more expensive, Ubisoft fired more people, and the bosses in charge of Build a Rocket Boy continued to be very weird. Blizzard revealed its ambitious plans to make Overwatch better than ever, including stripping the number two from it, and Nintendo tried to get people pumped for the Switch 2‘s next couple of months, but did a pretty poor job of it unless you’re a JRPG sicko (complimentary). Sony announced another live service game, Valve announced the Steam Machine is delayed, and Take-Two announced it’s already investing in summer marketing…

Lawmakers in at least five other states—Georgia, Maryland, Oklahoma, Vermont, and Virginia—have also introduced bills this year that would impose various forms of temporary pauses on data center development. While Georgia, Vermont, and Virginia’s efforts are being led by Democrats, Oklahoma and Maryland’s bills were largely sponsored by Republicans. These bills mirror several moratoriums that have already passed locally: At the end of December, at least 14 states had towns or counties that have paused data center permitting and construction, Tech Policy Press reported.There are some signs that the data center industry is beginning to respond to the backlash. Last…

The festivities featured performances from Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli, 3,000 athletes walking in the Parade of Nations, and not one but two Olympic cauldrons being lit.

The boreal forest—the world’s largest terrestrial biome—is warming faster than any other forest type. To understand the changing dynamics of boreal forests, Feng et al., 2026 analyzed the biome from 1985 to 2020, leveraging the longest and highest-resolution satellite record of calibrated tree cover to date. The study, published in February in Biogeosciences with four co-authors from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, confirms a northward shift in boreal forest cover over the past four decades. Landsat imagery played a central role in this study: the researchers applied machine learning to process 224,026 scenes collected by Landsats 4, 5, 7, and 8 to create annual,…

The most popular post regarding the littlestjeff1 Fortnite account came from user Pirat_Nation…
