As early-stage investments continue to shrink, investors grow increasingly discerning, and the M&A and exit environment remain muted, there are still bright spots: investment surged into back-end gaming infrastructure and AI-powered

NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032
