Strange electromagnetic waves resembling bird chirps have been detected at an unexpected distance from Earth, raising concerns for space missions. These signals, known as chorus waves, can accelerate particles to dangerously high speeds, posing a risk to spacecraft and astronauts. Previously observed much closer to Earth, the latest detection occurred nearly 100,000 miles away. This discovery challenges long-standing theories about their origins and behaviour, urging scientists to reassess their understanding of Earth’s magnetosphere and its interaction with solar particles.Chorus waves: A closer lookAccording to findings published in Nature, chorus waves are energetic bursts within Earth’s magnetic field, known for their…
(Bloomberg) — A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a new directive to halt payments of federal grants, loans and other assistance to an array of programs across the country. Most Read from Bloomberg The decision was handed down Tuesday in Washington by US District Judge Loren AliKhan in a lawsuit filed by a group of nonprofits, even as nearly two dozen states filed a separate complaint challenging the directive.

Microsoft (MSFT) will report its second quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday as Wall Street continues to digest the fallout surrounding DeepSeek’s impact on the AI industry and Silicon Valley’s tech titans. Microsoft and its Big Tech cohort are investing tens of billions of dollars in the data centers and infrastructure needed to train and deploy AI software across their various services. But China’s DeepSeek upended the general thinking that developing AI models requires the use of the most powerful, and expensive, chips with the release of its R1 model on Jan. 20. The model, the company claims, was…
The supermassive black hole M87*, located 55 million light-years away in the Messier 87 galaxy, continues to intrigue astronomers with its dynamic and chaotic behaviour. Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) have revealed notable turbulence in the accretion flow—the stream of gas and plasma that feeds the black hole. The black hole, which has a mass equivalent to 6.5 billion suns, has been found to rotate along an axis pointing away from Earth. These findings, based on data from April 2017 and April 2018, have deepened understanding of the processes near its event horizon.Significant Findings Through Multi-Year AnalysisAccording to…
By Suzanne McGee (Reuters) – Short-term traders are proving eager to bet on a rapid recovery in Nvidia, pouring money into the three largest leveraged exchange-traded funds which are linked to gains in the share price of the AI chipmaking giant. Speculators and traders flocked to buy leveraged funds which aim to deliver double the daily return in Nvidia, asset managers said on Tuesday. The company’s stock suffered the biggest one-day fall in market capitalization in history on Monday in response to news that China’s DeepSeek launched a new artificial intelligence model. «We had about $1 billion of inflows into…
TikTok Shop is a growing platform that is transforming how smaller businesses sell to large audiences they might otherwise struggle to reach.

Meta (META) will report its fourth quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday, and analysts and investors will be looking for signs that the company’s massive AI spending is continuing to pay off. Last week, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta plans to spend between $60 billion and $65 billion on AI infrastructure projects throughout 2025, including the construction of a data center that the executive says is so large its footprint would cover a large chunk of Manhattan. That represents an enormous year-over-year increase in capital spending for Meta. The company previously projected $38 billion to $40 billion in…
The origins of the earliest dinosaurs could lie beneath the sands of the Sahara Desert and the dense foliage of the Amazon rainforest, as suggested by recent findings. Fossils from these regions, if discovered, might trace the evolutionary roots of dinosaurs back beyond 230 million years—the age of the oldest known remains. Such discoveries have the potential to reshape our understanding of how and where dinosaurs emerged, challenging existing theories about their beginnings in Gondwana’s southernmost parts.New Insights into Dinosaur EvolutionAccording to research published in Current Biology, simulations using a computer model indicate that dinosaurs may have originated in Gondwana’s…
