Scientists at the Kryoneri Observatory near Athens, Greece, shot a powerful laser at NASA’s Psyche mission, which then sent a return signal to the Helmos Observatory, which lies some 23 miles (37 km) aw

Your Next Car Might Cost More: Industry Insiders Explain Tariff-Driven Price Increases and How to Offset Costs

It's not just iPhones and TVs. President Donald Trump's tariff policies might be driving up the cost of electric vehicles and combustion cars, too. EVs, in fact, might be especially vulnerable to the new tariffs that target China (a major exporter of critical metals) and the steel industry. China already has a near monopoly on critical minerals and rare earth metals used to manufacture cars, and these tariffs have given China reason to use that as leverage over the United States.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced over the weekend that shareholders of his EV maker Tesla will vote on whether to invest in his own artificial intelligence firm xAI.

Even with the pullback, the cryptocurrency is still trading at nearly twice its level from a year ago. Unlike previous cycles, the record run isn't being driven by retail mania or meme-stock energy.
