Shortly after their discovery, carbon nanotubes seemed to be a material wonder. There were metallic and semiconducting forms; they were tiny and incredibly light; and they could only be broken by tearing apart chemical bonds. The ideas for using them seemed endless. But then the reality of working with them set in. It was hard to get a pure population of metallic or semiconducting forms. Synthesis techniques tended to produce a tangle of mostly short nanotubes; those that extended for more than a couple of centimeters remain rare. And while the metallic version offered little resistance to carrying electric current,…
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book previews made the rounds yesterday, and a new trailer emerged today. All the new looks showcase a very different kind of Yoshi game; gone are Yoshi’s fighting days as instead he’s cataloguing mystical creatures, seemingly by tormenting them to see how they’ll react. It’s more leisurely, with Yoshi unable to die to hazards and no time limit on stages. And it’s also weirder, because you can apparently call Shy Guys “Hanks” if you want…but just for this game. Instead of escorting babies or rescuing eggs, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book’s titular dinosaur is trying to…
Artemis II aced its trial-by-fire reentry, despite some concerns that the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield would not hold up, a ghostly photo of the spacecraft’s underside taken soon after splashdown reveals.NASA’s preliminary post-splashdown investigation indicates that Orion’s heat shield suffered minimal char loss, its ceramic tiles were uncracked, and the reflective thermal tape was still present in numerous places — ensuring that the capsule’s four-person crew was safe during their fiery plunge through Earth’s atmosphere.”Initial inspections of the system found it performed as expected, with no unusual conditions identified,” NASA officials wrote in a statement released Monday (April 20). “Diver…
United States soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke has been arrested and charged for placing bets on prediction marketplace Polymarket using classified information he had access to related to the capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. The US Army Special Forces master sergeant, who was directly involved with the planning and execution of the operation, allegedly made $409,881 in profits.According to the Department of Justice, Van Dyke created a Polymarket account around December 26, 2025 and made 13 bets related to Maduro from December 27 to January 2. He took the “Yes” position on several Polymarket wagers, including “US Forces…
Were you disappointed to see the “new” Galaxy A37 5G mid-ranger unveiled with the exact same design as last year’s Galaxy A36 5G, as well as incredibly similar specifications, and shockingly enough, a higher price last month? Did Amazon fail to convince you this can be the best budget 5G phone option for you right now with its always handy but rather modest $50 gift card? What if I were to tell you there’s now a way to score the AI-enriched 6.7-incher totally free of charge, and it doesn’t even involve a pesky trade-in process? It sounds too good to be…
Specifically, the committee recommended that the State Department assess whether the distillation attacks violate laws like the Economic Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. They also want “adversarial distillation” clearly defined and officially categorized as a controlled technology transfer, which would make it easier to restrict fraudulent Chinese access to models. If such steps were taken, the US could prosecute bad actors and impose heavy financial penalties that might dissuade Chinese firms from treating “serious violations as a tolerable cost of doing business,” the committee’s report said. China slams accusations as “pure slander” Kratsios’ memo threatening a…
Microsoft teased a new partnership with Discord earlier this week that led some players to wonder if the popular chat platform’s paid Nitro subscriptions would start getting bundled with Game Pass.

Images of the newest version of Game Pass were discovered and shared by Discord Previews and point to some of the benefits of Xbox’s Netflix-like game library becoming part of Discord’s existing $10 a month Nitro…
The findings push back the oldest known octopuses by around 5 million years. (Image credit: Yohei Utsuki: Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Hokkaido University)Scientists have identified enormous finned “kraken” octopuses that may have reached up to 62 feet (19 meters) long. The behemoths prowled the oceans during the Cretaceous and could be the largest invertebrates ever discovered.Fossil jaws revealed distinctive markings that suggest these kraken-like octopuses used their powerful jaws to crush hard-shelled prey. That, combined with their gigantic size and evidence of intelligence, put them top of the marine food chain, according to a study published Thursday (April…
A hairdryer was allegedly used to rig Polymarket bets on the weather at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, . French authorities note that the official temperature readings at the airport spiked twice in the past month, reaching levels much higher than expected. On both occasions, gamblers on Polymarket appear to have walked away with thousands upon thousands of dollars by betting on those temperature fluctuations.The gambling site relies on readings from temperature sensors, and the one at Charles de Gaulle airport is on a public road. This makes it easy to access. The operating theory is that someone snuck…
