War has now been declared between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The alliance between the two powerful men has shattered, and their escalating feud has now reached a stunning new level: Trump was asked on Tuesday if he would deport Musk, who was born in South Africa but became a U.S. citizen in 2002. “Are you going to deport Elon Musk?” a reporter asked the president. “I don’t know,” Trump responded, before adding ominously, “We’ll have to take a look.” He then threatened to use a weap

The United Nations’ Global E-waste Monitor estimates that the world generates over 60 million metric tons of e-waste annually. Furthermore, this number is rising five times faster than e-waste recycling. Much of this waste comes from prematurely discarded electronic devices.

Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-31 01:08:01

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.

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of a planet outside of our solar system, which is the first time it has accomplished such a feat. This is a very big deal because exoplanets don't put out much light, so researchers typically discover new planets through indirect methods like keeping track of shadows as they pass across a host star.
