This shimmering region of star-formation, a close-up of the Trifid Nebula about 5,000 light-years from Earth, was captured in intricate detail by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in an image released on April 20, 2026. The colors in Hubble’s visible light image, which marks the 36th anniversary of the mission’s launch on April 24, are reminiscent of an underwater scene filled with fine-grained sediments fluttering through the ocean’s depths. Several massive stars, which are outside this field of view, have shaped this region for at least 300,000 years. Their powerful winds continue to blow an enormous bubble, a small portion of which is shown…

A senior Democratic aide familiar with the negotiations referred to the section as a “legislative scam,” telling WIRED: “There are many members who don’t quite understand the ins and outs of this law. Tossing the phrase ‘Fourth Amendment requirement’ into the bill is the speaker and the intelligence community working to dupe them into supporting a bill that has no meaningful constitutional safeguards.”Section 5 directs the US attorney general to revoke existing rules on congressional access to the secret court that oversees the 702 program and issue new ones within 60 days. The provision is not self-executing: The access it…

After launching the Nord CE 4 Lite in 2024, OnePlus is jumping directly to the Nord CE 6 Lite this year. The device has been the subject of a few rumors in the past, some revealing its design and others its possible specifications. In that regard, a Geekbench listing has now revealed the chipset of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. The smartphone appeared in the benchmark under the model number CPH2943 and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip. The latter is confirmed by the core setup, consisting of four CPU cores running at 2.60GHz and four at…

Returnal, Housemarque’s first foray into the roguelike shooter genre, was notoriously grueling and punishing, to the point where some folks bounced off it out of frustration. Saros, the studio’s spiritual successor, is also like that, but it doesn’t have to be. This time around, Housemarque has added modifiers that let you tweak the difficulty similar to accessibility features you’d find in other action games; however, these optional switches can’t be flipped willy-nilly.  A few hours into Saros, you’ll unlock Carcosan Modifiers. These are both perks (Protections) and nerfs (Trials) that you can manually apply to your runs from the game’s…

Students in Missouri will hear from NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway as they answer prerecorded science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) questions while aboard the International Space Station. The Earth-to-space call will begin at 10:50 a.m. EDT Thursday, April 30, and will stream live on the agency’s Learn With NASA YouTube channel. This event is hosted by the University of Missouri Pre-Employment Transition Services in Columbia, Missouri, for students in grades K-12 and members of the community. This opportunity aims to deepen understanding of space exploration and inspire students to pursue a future career in STEM. Media interested…

As a general rule, global instability leads to higher prices, and boy, is the world a doozy right now. Airfare hasn’t escaped the tumult: US airfares are up 14.9 percent compared to a year ago, according to NerdWallet, largely due to fuel price spikes linked to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz caused by blockages, bombs, and blockades.While the medium-term outlook for the airline business isn’t great, there are still a few smart and tricky ways to save a little money when flying this summer. These are tips I’ve learned from covering transportation for more than a decade, and from…

The 2nm process node is the most advanced, cutting-edge node in the industry, and it’s none other than TSMC leading the next-generation wave of advanced chips. The Taiwanese chip giant has managed to achieve yields favorable for mass-producing 2nm wafers, but unfortunately, that is not enough to meet demand for AI chips and mobile SoCs, forcing smartphone brands to opt for silicon downgrades later this year. According to a reliable Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, multiple smartphone brands will offer fully equipped SoCs only in their top-of-the-line “Ultra” or “Pro Max” models because of rising memory costs and the chip…

Yesterday, fans of the Yakuza games were sent into a panic when it was revealed that Nagoshi Studio, the studio started by series co-creator Toshihiro Nagoshi after he left Ryu Ga Gotoku to make spiritual successor Gang of Dragon, had seemingly deleted its YouTube channel amid greater concerns that parent company NetEase was preparing to pull funding. But today, it…was back up? The missing YouTube channel was discovered by fans posting to Reddit yesterday, who claimed that “the YouTube channel and Gang of Dragon trailer” were both gone. This claim was repeated by a number of others over the course…

For 10 years, a NASA initiative has helped the agency produce breakthrough aeronautical innovations while fostering the aviation workforce of tomorrow – and the University Leadership Initiative (ULI) is still flying high, making awards with the potential to change 21st century air travel.  Through ULI, NASA has supported more than 1,100 students at 100 schools, allowing them to pursue advancements in top priority areas for U.S. aviation, including high-speed flight, advanced air mobility, future airspace management and safety, and electrified propulsion.   Many of those students have used their ULI experience as a springboard to careers in aviation. And many of their ideas…

DeepSeek has released its latest AI models, the V4 Pro and Flash versions, a bit over a year after it went viral and became the top rated free app on Apple’s App Store in the US. “Welcome to the era of cost-effective 1 million context length,” DeepSeek said in its announcement. Context length is what you call the maximum number of tokens that an AI model can remember, so the bigger it is, the more coherent and consistent an AI is when it comes to extended conversations. OpenAI’s recently announced GPT‑5.5 has a context window ranging from 400,000 to 1…
