2K is launching a new AAA game development studio, Small Axe Studios, with an ambitious goal: to build the company's "next blockbuster sports franchise," according to a LinkedIn post.
The post doesn't explicitly say what sport this new game will focus on. But an image included in the post features what appears to be a mockup soccer badge, indicating that Small Axe might be making a soccer game that goes head-to-head with EA Sports FC. The Small Axe website also lists senior staffers with experience working on EA's FIFA series (the former name of EA Sports FC), including studio head Aaron McHardy, who once led that franchise.
Small Axe was …

Ford said today that its next-generation electric vehicle - recently dubbed Fathom - will go into production at the automaker's recently overhauled Louisville Assembly Plant in the first quarter of 2027. The first Fathoms will be prototypes, with Ford's team in Louisville already in the production-level pre-tooling phase at the recently converted facility. Factory workers are working alongside team's at Ford's New Model Product Development Center in Dearborn, Michigan, hand-building the Fathom prototypes - and the same operators who helped design the high-stakes EV will also be involved in its production. The factory is over 70 years old …

Meta is launching an optional Scam Alert feature on WhatsApp that uses on-device machine learning to flag suspicious messages. Earlier this year, Meta also launched scam detection for device linking requests on WhatsApp. The new Scam Alert feature, which is rolling out in a limited beta, shows users a warning if a chat seems like a scam: If the model identifies a message as a likely scam attempt, the user sees a warning in the chat, which is not visible to the other person. From there, the user can decide what to do: block, report, or continue the conversation. If they decide that a warning is incorrectly flagged, the user can mark the cha …

Rutendo Shadaya began writing a fantasy book at age nine as a birthday gift for her best friend, then self-published after struggling to find a traditional publisher. Her Rachel series uses adventure, friendship and perseverance to encourage young readers, while Shadaya hopes to bring more of her Zimbabwean heritage into future stories. Now 17, Shadaya has been named one of Time magazine’s Girls of the Year and uses her growing platform to encourage other young writers, especially girls. At nine years old, Rutendo Shadaya set out to make a birthday gift for her best friend. The idea was simple: write her a book.

My drive of the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X began under oily black clouds, a torrential weather front releasing its grip on Manhattan - an inauspicious start for any mega-powered sports car. Rain pelted the waterlogged pavement, as I set course for the mountain-man roads of the Catskills, then on to Long Island and New England over three days. Fortunately, this Grand Sport, a name synonymous with value among Corvette fans, was the first of its kind: A 721-horsepower super-hybrid with a brainy, confidence-boosting AWD system. I popped the Corvette into Sport mode, Wet mode be damned. Finding tire grip galore on the Palisades Parkway, I realiz …

Suno is releasing Studio 2.0 with significant upgrades that push it closer to an actual digital audio workstation (DAW), rather than a bare-bones audio editor with generative AI features. The biggest addition is undoubtedly MIDI support. Suno says that MIDI was its most requested feature, and it's basically a prerequisite for any modern DAW. Unfortunately, Suno Studio doesn't appear to support third-party plugins or VSTs yet, so you're stuck using its proprietary built-in synth. That synth appears to be a basic two-oscillator wavetable plugin with three envelopes and four envelopes.

“Encounters with the metropolis’s most unloved rodent are a familiar story for New Yorkers, who live in a city some estimate has one rat for every three people. But the rats, by at least one measure, are losing ground. New York City is on track to record the fewest reported rat sightings since the pandemic. Rat sightings have dropped 22% in the first seven months of 2026 compared with the same period last year, according to data from 311, the non-emergency service portal used to report rodents and request inspections. Sightings typically peak in the summer months, before declining through fall and winter. The reports have fallen year-over-year every month since November 2024. The city’s Sanitation...

“New York City government isn't known for cutting red tape. But this week, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (yes, the democratic socialist) announced more than 50 reforms that would eliminate unnecessary regulations and high permitting and licensing fees for small businesses. The reforms, unveiled on Monday, cover a variety of small business issues, from outdoor dining rules to pawnbroker licenses. During a speech in the Bronx, Mamdani announced that the city would work with the state to eliminate the frozen dessert permit, which requires restaurants that already have food permits to 'seek out a superfluous second permit for what they're already doing.' He also said the current state of...

“When a 6.8-magnitude earthquake jolted southwestern Japan last week, its force mirrored the kind of seismic shocks capable of flattening cities and claiming hundreds or even thousands of lives. Yet across the island of Kyushu, the violent shaking destroyed or heavily damaged just a few hundred buildings. One week after the quake, the death toll was 38… 'We see that there are huge differences in the number of casualties,' said Katsuichiro Goda, a professor of earthquake engineering at Western University in Canada. Mr. Goda, who conducted field reconnaissance in Kumamoto after the 2016 quakes, credits much of that difference to how the prefecture has rebuilt over the past decade, including...

“Vaccines that do not need to be kept cool in a fridge have been successfully trialled in patients for the first time, say UK scientists. Currently, most vaccines need to be refrigerated or frozen – but around half are wasted each year, mainly because they become unusable after getting too hot or too cold. In the trial, which involved 60 volunteers, company Stablepharma converted a liquid tetanus-diphtheria vaccine into a 'fridge-free' version by keeping it as a dry powder for a year at room temperature before mixing it with water and injecting it.” From BBC.

“The zebra finch is one of the best-studied songbirds, and a model for understanding the biology of vocal learning. Now, researchers have produced the first complete genome assembly of the species, revealing thousands of previously hidden genes and chromosome structures. It is the first songbird genome to capture every chromosome from end to end while distinguishing the DNA inherited from each parent, making it the most complete and accurate bird genome assembled to date. Part of a package of 10 papers being published simultaneously in Cell and Cell Genomics, this study, which appears in Cell, reveals 2,710 previously unknown genes, shows that birds and mammals share an organized centromere architecture, and...

A galaxy simulation shows that nuclear star clusters and nuclear stellar disks can grow together as a stellar bar funnels gas toward the galactic center. Repeated shocks from stellar feedback move gas inward and trigger new star formation, while the surrounding nuclear disk gradually expands from the inside out. The connection can become difficult to recognize as the two structures evolve at different rates, and mergers with massive star clusters can further reshape the galactic center. At the heart of a barred galaxy, two stellar structures can grow around the same central region. One is compact and pressure-supported. The other spreads outward as a rotating disk. Their apparent disconnect has obscured a...

There are plenty of stories about inventors who see a problem and decide they can do better. But Van Phillips had a little more motivation than most. The problem was his own leg. In 1976, Phillips was a 21-year-old college student when a water-skiing accident cost him his left leg below the knee. If that wasn’t bad enough, the prosthetic leg he received afterward wasn’t exactly a technological marvel. Prosthetic limbs of the era were generally designed to look and act something like a biological leg and foot, but “act” might be giving them too much credit. They were passive structures that provided something to stand on and roll over while walking.
Phillips wanted to do more than walk. There was just...

Precision measurements of calcium atoms revealed an unexpected pattern that cannot be explained by the simplest atomic physics calculations. Known effects inside atomic nuclei, especially nuclear polarization, could account for the anomaly, so the result is not evidence of a fifth force. The measurements still place some of the strongest limits yet from this method on a hypothetical particle linking electrons and neutrons. Calcium atoms have produced an unusually clear break from a pattern physicists expected to follow a straight line. The deviation is real, but its cause remains unresolved, sharpening a search for forces that may exist beyond known physics. The Standard Model of particle physics describes...

When we think about security threats, we generally imagine them coming from far away across the wider internet. But what if the connection between you and your ISP was the target? [Rithwik Jayasimha] and [Rithvik Vibhu] have explored how fiber to the home connections may not be as secure as you would hope.
The hack centers around fiber-to-the-home connections, of which many deployments rely on Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) standards. The key there is the “passive” part—these networks don’t rely on active components to switch signals. ISPs run central trunk lines out to optical line terminals (OLT), with passive splitters installed in neighborhoods to serve a number of downstream subscribers....
