“Things we’ll never know” science fair highlights US’s canceled research

Washington, DC—From a distance, the gathering looked like a standard poster session at an academic conference, with researchers standing next to large displays of the work they were doing. Except in this case, it was taking place in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill, and the researchers were describing work that they weren’t doing. Called "The things we’ll never know," the event was meant to highlight the work of researchers whose grants had been canceled by the Trump administrat

Studio Trigger Anime ‘New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt’ Is a Raunchy, Foul-Mouthed Riot

Somewhere between Cartoon Network’s super-powered girl mayhem in Powerpuff Girls and Netflix’s unfiltered sex-fueled comedy in Big Mouth, Neon Genesis Evangelion studio Gainax unleashed Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt into the world of animation in 2010. The series, which can be best described as what would happen if Powerpuff Girls were created with crass Adult Swim humor in mind, instantly became an anime cult touchstone with its brazen, raunchy comedy and balls-to-the-wall action. Now, Stud

Claude can now connect to learning apps like Canvas, Panopto and Wiley

At the start of April, Anthropic released Learning mode, a feature that changed how Claude would interact with users. With the tool enabled, the chatbot would attempt to guide students to a solution rather than providing them with an answer outright. The release of Learning mode and Claude for Education was the start of a major push by Anthropic to work with universities and colleges globally. Today, the company is upgrading Claude for Education with the addition of integrations to three popula

Google’s powerful Gemini assistant is finally coming to the Pixel Watch and Wear OS

TL;DR Google is finally rolling out its Gemini assistant to Wear OS smartwatches, with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series being the first to get it. The wearable version supports voice interactions, like answering complex questions and creating tasks, offering a more advanced experience than Google Assistant. Gemini will also come to existing smartwatches from brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus via an update that will likely replace the current Google Assistant app. When Google unveiled its Ge

Using MPC for Anonymous and Private DNA Analysis

Earlier this year, Monadic DNA kicked off an experiment to demonstrate that people can access and analyze their genetic data with anonymity and privacy. Monadic DNA collected saliva samples from thirty encrypted genomics pioneers at an event in Denver. These participants later used a Web app to claim their genotyping results using a unique kit ID and a self-selected PIN. The app guided users through uploading their data to encrypted storage powered by Nillion’s multi-party compute (MPC) techno

Android Auto begins erasing Assistant as Gemini prepares for takeover (APK teardown)

TL;DR With the newest version of Android Auto, references to “Google Assistant” are being replaced with generic terms like “Digital Assistant,” despite still referring to the existing Google Assistant settings. The changes indicate Google’s ongoing transition from Google Assistant to Gemini across supported platforms. Google has long begun phasing out Google Assistant in favor of Gemini across its supported platforms. Back in May, Google had shown off Gemini for Android Auto and cars with Goog

Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream. That said, quantum computing as a field has evolved drama

OpenAI May Be in Major Trouble Financially

Since OpenAI unleashed ChatGPT on the world two and a half years ago, the company has operated at a substantial financial loss. Despite raising at least $60.9 billion in private funding since ChatGPT's public launch, OpenAI is leaking billions of dollars every year. In 2024, for example, the tech startup lost some $5 billion, per MSNBC. That doesn't seem to bother OpenAI insiders, though, who hope to be bringing in $125 billion in annual revenue by 2029. The gulf between OpenAI's ambitions and

Best Indoor Security Cameras for 2025: Tested in Our Own Homes

Google's AI detection remains top-notch. Google/Amazon Field of view Look for views that match the unique needs of your space and where you plan on placing the camera. Most high-quality indoor cameras have around a 130-degree field of view — and some of our picks go beyond that — but you don’t need to break out a protractor. That’s plenty of coverage to get a great view of a room when placed in a corner or centered against a far wall. For the best coverage or to cover multiple angles from a ce

Frontier is helping Arbor build a “vegetarian rocket engine” to power data centers

Frontier, the organization backed by Stripe, Google, and Meta, announced Tuesday it is paying startup Arbor Energy to remove 116,000 tons of carbon dioxide by the end of the decade. The deal gives Arbor $41 million to help it build its first commercial-scale power plant in southern Louisiana that will burn waste biomass to generate electricity for a data center. At the same time, it’ll sequester the resulting CO 2 , shipping it via pipeline to be buried deep underground. “We are able to market

Man of Glass: Boccaccio: A Biography

In early June 1363, Giovanni Boccaccio received a letter that stung him deeply. Just a few days shy of his fiftieth birthday, he was then at the height of his creative powers. He had already penned at least a dozen major works, including the Decameron, any one of which would have assured him a place alongside Dante and Petrarch in the firmament of Italian literature. Although recent political upheavals had forced him to leave his native Florence, he was still writing feverishly. Yet to his frien

UAE proptech Huspy raises $59M to scale in Europe

If you walked into a Dubai bank to apply for a mortgage in 2020, chances are you’d spend months buried in paperwork or face a huge price discrepancy when it came to listings. Such experiences led Jad Antoun to start Huspy, a startup streamlining how people in the UAE buy homes digitally. Over the past five years, the company has grown into one of the largest proptechs in the UAE, and has expanded into Spain, by providing digital tools for finding homes and obtaining mortgages. Huspy just close

‘Anthem’ Is the Latest Video Game Casualty. What Should End-of-Life Care Look Like for Games?

Electronic Arts and BioWare will sunset their online multiplayer game Anthem on January 12, effectively making it obsolete. “Anthem was designed to be an online-only title so once the servers go offline, the game will no longer be playable,” BioWare wrote in the announcement. On August 15, the game will disappear from EA Play’s playlist. Right now, players can’t buy in-game currency, but they will be able to spend what they have until servers are offline. Developers at BioWare who have been wor

Tulum Energy rediscovered a forgotten hydrogen tech and used it to raise $27M

It was a mistake that was ahead of its time. Between 2002 and 2005, engineers with the Techint Group were trying to dial in a new electric arc furnace for a steelmaker when they noticed something odd. The carbon electrodes, rather than breaking down, were growing larger. The team had inadvertently created what’s known as a pyrolysis reaction, which is basically burning something in the absence of oxygen. In this case, the furnace was splitting methane into pure hydrogen and pure carbon. The te

The Opening of ‘Final Fantasy IX’ Is a Love Letter to Fantasy Itself

Final Fantasy games are known for their big, bombastic openings. Final Fantasy VII‘s legendary bombing mission, the brainwashed Terra being sent through the snowy paths into Narshe in Final Fantasy VI, the destruction of Zanarkand in Final Fantasy X—these are grand set pieces with high stakes, introducing threats and conflicts central to their epic narratives. They are big and loud, meant to immediately hook you into a journey that will last dozens upon dozens (upon dozens) of hours. They’re al

Zillow Lists the Fantastic Four’s Home for a Surprisingly Low Price

Few sites on the internet can be as fun, or frustrating, to cruise as Zillow. It’s the place to see how impossible it is to afford your dream home and also see how far a dollar can go in places you don’t live. However, it seems in whatever time and dimension the Fantastic Four live in, the dollar goes a long, long way, even in one of the priciest real estate markets of all, New York City. Marvel has teamed up with Zillow for a very fun piece of marketing where the Baxter Building, home to the F

Fubo pays $3.4M to settle claims it illegally shared user data with advertisers

Fubo has agreed to pay $3.4 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused the sports-streaming service provider of unlawfully distributing customers' personally identifiable information (PII) without their consent. In December 2023, Ne’Tosha Burdette filed a complaint [PDF] against Fubo with the stated goal of stopping Fubo’s "unlawful disclosure of its customers'" PII. The complaint argued that Fubo violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), “which prohibits the disclosure of co
