techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-09-15 19:00:00

Satellites can accomplish incredible tasks like provide internet, or help monitor wildfires. But many of them ultimately meet a fiery death burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Others use their last bit of fuel to move to so-called “graveyard” orbits, where they circle the planet in a perpetual deep freeze. A new startup called Lux Aeterna wants to change this. The Denver-based company, which is coming out of stealth today, has designed a reusable satellite called Delphi that it aims to launch

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-15 15:46:45

According to a new study, a staggering majority of American college students are using artificial intelligence in their studies — and the reason why is a pathos-laden dispatch from an education system in crisis. In a new study in the journal Tech Trends, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte found not only that most students are now using AI to assist in their schoolwork, but also that many prefer the technology for a tragic reason: because it doesn't judge them like a

The US is on the brink of enacting rules for digital assets, with growing bipartisan momentum to modernize our financial system.
