Elon Musk's final frontier is officially open for business now that SpaceX has formally filed its S-1 prospectus with the SEC. That kicks off what could be the largest initial public offering ever when it lists on the Nasdaq stock exchange with the ticker SPCX.
SpaceX generated $18.67 billion in revenue in 2025, driven largely by its Starlink satellite internet service, which brought in more than $11 billion, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The company lost over $4.9 billion last year, with capital expenditures soaring to $20.7 billion last year, a leap from $11.2 billion in 2024, as reported by The New York Times. xAI, which recent …

Summary: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming environmental monitoring by converting satellite imagery and geospatial data into actionable intelligence. New AI-powered systems can detect pollution, deforestation, oil spills, coral bleaching, and other ecological threats in real time at a fraction of the historical cost. As monitoring technologies become cheaper and more widely accessible, they have the potential to democratize environmental capabilities that were once limited to governments and major institutions. Somewhere right now, an oil slick is spreading across a coastline that no one is watching. A patch of rainforest the size of a football field is being cleared while the nearest ranger...

Every text message, photograph, and saved file still comes down to a simple bargain: information is stored as either 0 or 1. That binary system built modern computing, and for decades engineers kept improving it by shrinking the transistors that carry and store those bits. That long run is getting harder to sustain. As components approach physical limits, researchers are looking for other ways to handle information, including methods that do not rely only on electric charge. One of the most closely watched alternatives is spintronics, a field that uses another property of electrons, their magnetism, to store and process data. A new study from researchers at Institut Laue-Langevin pushes that idea in an unusual...

In a recent video [Saša Karanović] revisits the DIY filament dryer that he gave a shot a couple of years ago. Back then he reused an existing filament dryer, adding a custom controller and such to improve its performance. This technically-not-fully-DIY dryer got some feedback since then, and thus the V2 version is an example of how to better DIY such a dryer, including a custom PCB and a GitHub project for all the details.

A potentiometer is a simple electrical device that allows resistance to be varied at will. Most everyone in the electronics field is intimately familiar with how they work on a fundamental level. Of course, we all had to be taught once, though, and a great way to do that would be with a teaching tool like the one [DiscoLapy] built.
What you’re looking at here is a very simple potentiometer that bares its function for all to see. It consists of a 3D printed base and knob, which form the mechanical part of the device. A paper track is then laid on top to act as the main resistive element, once properly covered with graphite from a regular old pencil. From there, it’s as simple as adding the necessary...

If you choose to get an extra controller for your Nintendo Switch 2, you can spend a lot — and get a lot in return. Buying Nintendo’s own $89 Switch 2 Pro Controller, for instance, will net you the console’s only wireless controller with a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening, not to mention great-feeling rumble and a slick design. It’s not perfect, but it’s otherwise the total package in terms of features.  But it’d be a disservice to you to call it a day there. There are several third-party models that are cheaper, yet don’t make many compromises in terms of features. I’ve spent time testing a handful of these gamepads, and there’s a small batch of models that I think will satisfy...

Millions of people each year undergo painful procedures to repair damaged or missing bone. Whether caused by injury, aging or disease, bone loss can dramatically affect mobility, independence and quality of life. Now, researchers at Tampere University in Finland say they may have developed a more personalized and accessible solution using 3D-printed ceramic implants designed to closely imitate natural human bone. The research team created bone-like scaffolds using hydroxyapatite, the same mineral compound found in real bone tissue. By combining this material with advanced ceramic 3D printing, the scientists produced implants with carefully controlled internal structures that support the body’s natural...

Normally, when you think of a radio transmitter, you want the strongest signal and range. But if your radio operator is secretly operating as a spy, broadcasting their position isn’t a feature; it is a liability. This fact didn’t escape World War II radio designers.
In late 1942, the British realized they needed a way for Special Operation Executive agents, resistance members, and other friendly forces to communicate with an aircraft without attracting undue attention. Two engineers from the Royal Corps of Signals developed a pair of transceivers — the S-Phone — operating around 380 MHz just for this purpose. Frequencies this high were unusual at the time, which further deterred enemy detection.

A crater that never sees sunlight might sound like the wrong place to build delicate scientific equipment. Jun Ye sees it differently. In the permanent darkness near the Moon’s south pole, some craters stay so cold and still that they may offer the best natural setting in the solar system for one of physics’ most demanding instruments: an ultrastable laser. Ye, who is affiliated with both the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and JILA, a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder, and an international team of researchers argue that these permanently shadowed regions could support a silicon optical cavity with a level of frequency stability beyond today’s best...

Most people take the Moon for granted, not considering its slow cycle where the sun gradually illuminates different parts of it. A recent project from [Karsten Mueller] helps you keep our nearest celestial neighbor in mind by putting a tiny version on your desk. (German)
The device itself is made with a circular display, an ESP32-S3, and a simple 3D printed case. But the interesting part is the software — it’s not just a moon phase display, it actually takes your local time, latitude and longitude into account. The resulting image is an approximation of what the moon looks like if you were to look at it, even if you wouldn’t actually be able to see it, such as when it is obscured by the Earth or barely...

Deep beneath northern Ontario, some of Earth’s oldest rocks are quietly giving off hydrogen. At Kidd Creek mine near Timmins, geochemists tracked gas seeping from boreholes drilled two to nearly three kilometers below the surface. What they found was not a one-off puff or a short-lived flare. The hydrogen kept coming, in measurable amounts, over months. In some cases, it lasted for more than a decade. That matters because hydrogen already plays a central role in modern industry, especially in fertilizer, methanol, and steel production. Yet most of it still comes from fossil fuels or other energy-intensive processes. The new work suggests some of that supply might instead come straight from the crust. This...

Once upon a time, computing was simple. You had files on a floppy disk. If you wanted to take them to a different computer, you ejected the disk from one machine and put it in another. It wasn’t fast, but it was easy and intuitive. Besides, you probably only had one computer of your own, anyway.
Life has since gotten a lot more complex. You’ve got a desktop, a laptop, a work laptop, your personal and business phones, and a smart watch to boot. You live amongst a swirling maelstrom of terabytes of data. Despite all the technical advances that got you here, it’s still a pain to get a file from one device to another, even when they’re sitting on the same desk. Why?! This Modern Glitch

Je suis tombé sur un accessoire à moins de 10 euros qui ne paie pas de mine, et que j'utilise pourtant tous les jours depuis que je l'ai reçu. C'est un simple autocollant. Un carré de vinyle transparent d'environ 8 cm de côté, qui liste les raccourcis clavier essentiels de macOS et se colle dans le coin de votre MacBook.
L'idée est bête comme chou. Au lieu d'aller chercher sur Google "comment faire une capture d'écran sur Mac" pour la centième fois, vous baissez les yeux vers le coin de votre clavier et c'est écrit.

Anthropic, la boîte derrière l'IA Claude, a racheté Stainless pour plus de 300 millions de dollars. Stainless, c'est un nom que le grand public ne connaît pas, mais l'outil est partout : il transforme automatiquement la spécification d'une API, l'interface par laquelle deux logiciels se parlent, en SDK.
Pour rappel, un SDK, c'est un ensemble de bibliothèques de code prêtes à l'emploi pour les développeurs, ici dans une dizaine de langages comme Python, TypeScript, Go ou Java.
En clair, quand un développeur veut brancher son application sur l'API de Claude, il utilise un SDK généré par Stainless. La boîte, fondée en 2022 par un ancien ingénieur de Stripe, a produit chaque SDK officiel...

Dix mois plus tard, on connaît enfin la cause grâce au média The Record : une faille jusque-là inconnue dans le logiciel d'un routeur Huawei.
Le mécanisme est presque bête. Du trafic réseau spécialement fabriqué a été envoyé vers des routeurs d'entreprise Huawei, et ce trafic les a fait redémarrer en boucle, sans jamais s'arrêter.

Triple-negative breast cancer and several other hard-to-treat tumors may have found an unlikely weak spot. It involves the same inflammatory pathway long targeted by a common asthma drug. A Northwestern Medicine team reports that tumors can exploit a molecule called CysLTR1 to turn neutrophils, some of the body’s most common white blood cells, into cancer helpers. In mouse models and human tissues, blocking that pathway slowed tumor growth. It also improved survival and helped restore the immune system’s ability to respond to immunotherapy. The work, published in Nature Cancer, centers on a receptor better known in asthma clinics than oncology labs. CysLTR1 helps mediate inflammation, and drugs that block...

Earlier this month, a group of high-profile publishers, including Penguin Random House, Elsevier, and HarperCollins, asked a federal court in New York for a broad default judgment against Anna’s Archive.
The publishers argued that, in addition to sharing links to pirated books with the public, the shadow library is serving as a primary training data hub for AI companies like Meta and NVIDIA. Because the site’s operators failed to show up in court to defend themselves, the publishers requested the court to rule in their favor. Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Jed S.
