Nearly 12 million people would lose health insurance under Senate GOP bill

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-22 11:37:24

The Senate Republicans' version of President Trump's tax bill would slash federal spending on health provisions—Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act—by $1.1 trillion by 2034. And in that time, an estimated 11.8 million people would lose their health insurance. That’s according to an analysis released over the weekend by the Congressional Budget Office. The massive piece of legislation is likely to change as senators are currently running a "vote-a-rama" for rapid-fire amendment propo

Printegrated Circuits: Merging 3D Printing and Electronics

Just as the laser printer delivered the benefits of a printing press to personal computer users more than 40 years ago, 3D printers have made it possible for individuals to turn digital designs into physical objects. Some printers cost less than US $1,000, and they can be used to create one-off objects or low-volume production of items. 3D printed objects have one major limitation; it’s not easy to make them “smart.” Adding digital processors and other components remains a challenge, as does ad

The World Is Producing More Food than Ever—but Not for Long

wired.com Umair Irfan 2025-08-23 07:00:00

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n

As rising sea levels gradually swallow the world’s low-lying island nations, many citizens will have no choice but to leave their homes behind. In Tuvalu, one of the world’s most climate-threatened archipelagos, the migration has already begun. Nearly a third of Tuvalu’s roughly 11,000 residents are seeking Australian visas to escape the encroaching waters.

Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-27 07:08:01

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay. Because it's hard to get all of these propert

It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster.

West End Games’ Classic ‘Star Wars’ RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe

In some ways re-imagined, in others just lifted wholesale, the journey of modern Star Wars is as much about adding new stories as it is weaving the old ones back into them. There
