Nissan axes the Ariya electric SUV from its model-year 2026 lineup

Last week we drove the new Nissan Leaf, an inexpensive compact electric vehicle. Now equipped with things like active battery thermal management, the new Leaf is actually Nissan's second modern EV, after the debut a couple of years ago of the Ariya SUV. But if you want an Ariya, you ought to hurry—the model has been cut from Nissan USA's offerings for model-year 2026, according to a report in Automotive News. According to a letter sent by Nissan to its dealers, obtained by the trade publication

Clean hydrogen is facing a big reality check

Here are three things to know about the state of hydrogen in 2025. 1. Expectations for annual clean hydrogen production by 2030 are shrinking, for the first time. While hydrogen has the potential to serve as a clean fuel, today most is made with processes that use fossil fuels. As of 2025, about a million metric tons of low-emissions hydrogen are produced annually. That’s less than 1% of total hydrogen production. In last year’s Global Hydrogen Report, the IEA projected that global production

iOS 26 can notify you when your AirPods case is running out of battery

Your AirPods and AirPods Pro are getting even better with iOS 26. As well as new features like camera remote and sleep detection to pause media, Apple is also improving the charging experience. With the new update, your iPhone can automatically remind you when your AirPods are running out of juice. These alerts can show even when your AirPods are not currently in your ears, but stored in their case, that is running low on battery. This is perhaps relevant for the new AirPods Pro 3, which have a

Hayabusa2’s 2031 Landing Plan Faces an Unexpected Asteroid Nightmare

On December 6, 2020, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped off pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu in the Australian outback, becoming the world’s second asteroid sample return mission, after the first Hayabusa mission returned dusty samples from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But Hayabusa2 still has more to offer. That same spacecraft is currently on its way to another distant space rock, aiming to snag more samples to help scientists compile the solar system’s origin story. Recent observations of the

Students are using AI tools instead of building foundational skills - but resistance is growing

imaginima/iStock/Getty Images Plus Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways There is growing concern about student dependence on AI. Today's computer science grads might understand less about IT systems. Some technology professors are pushing back against AI in classrooms. Whether you are studying information technology, teaching it, or creating the software that powers learning, it's clear that artificial intelligence is challenging and changing educatio

Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs. A reinvigorated AMD has given system

Stepping Down as Libxml2 Maintainer

Hello, since I’ve stepped in as libxslt maintainer I’ve been studying both libxslt and libxml2 codebases. I have the time to maintain the library I just need to get familiar with the latest changes you introduced like: I haven’t find how to manage both output and input buffers. I found functions like: xmlOutputBufferCreateIO but by the places in which I’ve found them is not clear on how to use them. Should I send you an email with my questions or do you prefer other means of communication?

Madman Sets Up Entire Server on Disposable Vape, Hosts Its Own Website

"Vibe" coding? Try vape coding. Either the most sober — or the most nicotine-addled — individual of all time has done the improbable: hosting an entire website on a single disposable e-cigarette. According to programmer Bogdan Ionescu, it's a stunt that's meant to demonstrate just how ridiculously tricked out even one-and-done vapes have become, he shared on his blog last week. Ionescu said he had been collecting disposable vapes for years, but it was only last year that he realized that some

The DOGE Subcommittee Hearing on Weather Modification Was a Nest of Conspiracy Theorizing

“What this whole debate comes down to is who controls the skies,” Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told the audience at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday. “Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth? Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time? Or do you believe in man’s claim of authority over the weather, based on scientists that have only been

Nvidia AI chip challenger Groq raises even more than expected, hits $6.9B valuation

AI chip startup Groq confirmed Wednesday that it raised a fresh $750 million in funding at a post-money valuation of $6.9 billion. This topped the rumored numbers when word leaked in July that Groq was raising. At that time, reports suggested that the raise would be about $600 million, at near a $6 billion valuation. Groq, which also sells data center computing power, previously raised $640 million at a $2.8 billion valuation in August 2024, making this more than double the valuation in about

Optimizing ClickHouse for Intel's 280 core processors

This is a guest post from Jiebin Sun, Zhiguo Zhou, Wangyang Guo and Tianyou Li, performance optimization engineers at Intel Shanghai. Intel's latest processor generations are pushing the number of cores in a server to unprecedented levels - from 128 P-cores per socket in Granite Rapids to 288 E-cores per socket in Sierra Forest, with future roadmaps targeting 200+ cores per socket. These numbers multiply on multi-socket systems, such servers may consist of 400 and more cores. The paradigm of "m

Famous cognitive psychology experiments that failed to replicate

Marco Giancotti , August 21, 2025 Cover image: Photo by Rebecca Freeman, Unsplash TL;DR is the part in bold below. The field of psychology had a big crisis in the 2010s, when many widely accepted results turned out to be much less solid than previously thought. It's called the replication crisis, because labs around the world tried and failed to replicate, in new experiments, previous results published by their original "discoverers". In other words, many reported psychological effects were ei

Scientists Detect Strange Signal in Gravitational Waves

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The international team of researchers measured the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, allowing them to get unprecedented insights into the turbulent dynamics of two black holes crashing into each other. The team analyzed data collected by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitatio

Tinycolor supply chain attack post-mortem

A malicious GitHub Actions workflow was pushed to a shared repo and exfiltrated a npm token with broad publish rights. The attacker then used that token to publish malicious versions of 20 packages, including @ctrl/tinycolor . My GitHub account, the @ctrl/tinycolor repository were not directly compromised. There was no phishing involved, and no malicious packages were installed on my machine and I already use pnpm to avoid unapproved postinstall scripts. There was no pull request involved becau
