Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth and final season

We’re still over a month away from the premiere of season three, but Paramount has announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth season — and that it will be its last. While Strange New Worlds’ first four seasons are (or will be) all ten episodes long, the fifth will run for just six. Still, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement that they’ll “complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it.” “From the ve

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end with a truncated fifth season

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will only visit around 26 strange new worlds before shuttling into that cancellation sunset. The show will end with a truncated fifth season of six episodes, according to reporting by Deadline . This news is relatively surprising, given that Strange New Worlds seems like the most popular and successful show of the modern era. However, not a single newer Trek series has made it past five seasons, so maybe that's just the way things go now. It's worth remembering tha

The campaign started last December and has successfully hijacked multiple accounts, say researchers at cybersecurity company Proofpoint, who attribute the activity to a threat actor called UNK_SneakyStrike. According to the researchers, the peak of the campaign happened on January 8, when it targeted 16,500 accounts in a single day. Such

Why Bats Don’t Get Cancer—and What That Means for Humans

When you think of longevity in animals, chances are that the Greenland shark will immediately come up. After all, researchers estimate that the enigmatic animal can live for at least 250 years. It turns out, however, that bats also hold their own when it comes to lifespan, with some species living up to 25 years—equivalent to 180 human years—and they tend to do it cancer-free. Researchers from the University of Rochester (UR) have investigated anti-cancer “superpowers,” as described in a UR sta

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism. I once typed in “yak” for no good reason and Amazon’s algorithms suggested “yak cheese himalayan dog chews.” So I hit Enter and up popped pages filled with hundreds of different dog chews that I have since learned are an all-natural, satisfying, long-lasting treat for pups. Amazon had over 300 Himalayan dog chews to sift through, from hundreds of companies

Apple’s Circle to Search competitor for iOS 26 looks awful

Earlier this week, during the WWDC keynote, Apple showed off its new iOS 26. For the first time since iOS 7 in 2013, Apple is revamping the operating system’s look and feel, introducing a very Windows Aero-esque design language called “Liquid Glass” (RIP Windows Vista), and since this was the flashy new thing at the keynote, it’s been the week’s hot topic. However, we also saw teasers of other new features that aren’t getting the same level of attention. Within the segment on iOS, for example,

All-wheel drive EVs at 210 mph? Formula E’s next car gets massive upgrade.

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

Scientists spent 10 years on a superbug mystery - Google's AI solved it in 48 hours

What just happened? Researchers at Imperial College London say an artificial intelligence-based science tool created by Google needed just 48 hours to solve a problem that took them roughly a decade to answer and verify on their own. The tool in question is called "co-scientist" and the problem they presented it with was straightforward enough: why are some superbugs resistant to antibiotics? Professor José R Penadés told the BBC that Google's tool reached the same hypothesis that his team had
