Why the US government is taking a stake in Intel

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-10-20 04:22:36

The Trump administration wants the United States to be the dominant force when it comes to artificial intelligence, and one way the administration hopes to achieve primacy is by bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. To help with that transition, President Donald Trump has introduced potential chip tariffs and policies in recent months meant to bring more semiconductor manufacturing stateside. In late August, the Trump administration took an unprecedented step toward that goal w

Since 2011, a monstrous structure has taken shape in the Atlantic Ocean almost every year, sprawling from the West African coast to the Gulf of Mexico. It’s the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt—a gargantuan bloom of a brown free-floating seaweed. In May, the seaweed belt hit a record biomass of 37.5 million tons.

The World’s Biggest Iceberg Is Finally Crumbling

Just months ago, the world’s largest iceberg weighed about a trillion tons and covered an area nearly the size of Anchorage, Alaska. Now it’s less than half that—and rapidly disappearing. In recent weeks, massive chunks of ice measuring up to 250 square miles (400 square kilometers) have sloughed off the “megaberg” known as A23a. Smaller pieces float freely in the surrounding waters too, many of them still big enough to threaten ships. The iceberg’s disintegration has reduced its total area to
