‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Almost Ended With a Movie

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-01 21:00:23

Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise‘s journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season. However, that apparently wasn’t always going to be the case, and the show nearly ended sooner. That’s according to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley (a.k.a. Number One) on the show. Speaking this past weekend at the Star Trek convention STLV in Las Vegas, the actress—via TrekCore—revealed that init

Why investors just bet $85M on this Indian company’s generic drug strategy

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-12-02 14:30:00

With over 400 million chronic patients, India is one of the world’s largest medicine markets. But while most e-pharmacies chase speed, affordability remains the real challenge. Truemeds took a different route: helping patients switch to lower-cost substitutes, a bet now paying off with new funding at about four times its previous valuation. The six-year-old startup has raised $85 million in a new round that includes $65 million in primary and $20 million in secondary funding led by Accel, along

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-02 06:30:04

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it. But without the light of a star, these systems, if they exist, would go largely overlooked by our telescopes, lost to

Unmasking the Sea Star Killer

Hodin is fascinated by creatures who change form—“I’m even wearing my shirt,” he says, pointing to his T-shirt depicting a folk music festival celebrating metamorphosis. So when The Nature Conservancy asked him to try breeding sunflower stars, Hodin was excited. Sunflower stars go through a series of developmental stages—from eggs to poppy seed-sized larvae that float around for months to juvenile stars that settle on the sea floor and add more arms as they grow.

‘Enterprise’ Producer Has Hopes Scott Bakula Might Return to ‘Star Trek’

Star Trek is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, as the shows that created its streaming boom have spent the last couple of years either coming to their end or announcing that they’re preparing to do so—and that’s even putting aside that Paramount itself is controversially about to come under new management. Beyond two and a half more seasons of Strange New Worlds and at least two seasons of Starfleet Academy, where Star Trek goes next is unknown. But it’s also a situation where one Trek a

This Week’s ‘Foundation’ Took a Killer Spy-Fi Turn

Foundation is nearing the halfway point of season three. Episode five, “Where Tyrants Spend Eternity,” began to show us how Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) hopes to gain an advantage over the sinister Mule (Pilou Asbæk). Her plan tapped into a much-loved trope that Star Wars series Andor also made excellent use of: sci-fi spycraft. “Where Tyrants Spend Eternity” is also tense throughout and ends up involving a horrific, large-scale tragedy (another Andor similarity), building to a final scene that t

High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups

In February, AI coding startup Windsurf was in talks to raise a big new round at a $2.85 billion valuation led by Kleiner Perkins, at double the valuation it hit six months earlier, sources told TechCrunch at the time. That deal didn’t happen, according to a source familiar with the matter. Instead, news broke in April that the startup planned to sell itself to OpenAI for roughly the same valuation: $3 billion. While that deal famously fell apart, one bigger question remains: If the startup was

Scientists Appear to Have Spotted an Unknown Planet in Nearest Star System to Earth

It's not easy to uncover exoplanets, largely lightless objects that either lurk in the dark void of space or are blown out by the light of a nearby star. But astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope believe they've found a new one — and it's just four light years away.

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European
