Japan’s Hayabusa2 Is Chasing an Asteroid for a 2031 Landing, but New Data Spells Trouble

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-25 21:00:08

On December 6, 2020, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped off pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu in the Australian outback, becoming the world’s second asteroid sample return mission, after the first Hayabusa mission returned dusty samples from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But Hayabusa2 still has more to offer. That same spacecraft is currently on its way to another distant space rock, aiming to snag more samples to help scientists compile the solar system’s origin story. Recent observations of the

The Nvidia logo appears on a smartphone reflecting the flags of China and the U.S. Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images Beijing has reportedly halted purchases of yet another AI chip from Nvidia, freezing it out of the market completely — a move industry experts say reflects the country's growing confidence in domestic chip makers and an attempt at gaining trade leverage.

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs.
