Tesla’s struggles continue as the company reports another drop in vehicle deliveries, deepening concerns that its image problem, especially in Europe, is weighing heavily on consumer demand. In the second quarter of 2025, the electric vehicle giant delivered 443,956 vehicles, a 13.5 percent decline from the same period in 2024. Deliveries are Tesla’s key sales metric and are closely watched by investors and analysts alike. Nearly all of those deliveries — 97.3 percent — were for the company’s t

As the Switch 2 continues to sell in the millions for Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that there'd be some issues with the console.

That changes July 11 with the release of Superman.

Dominique Thorne Breaks Down That Shocking ‘Ironheart’ Cliffhanger

Heroes don’t usually do what Riri Williams does at the end of Ironheart. In fact, most superhero stories would have the main character doing the exact opposite of what Riri does in the closing moments of Disney+’s latest Marvel show. And yet, it was specifically that decision and the thought behind it that got star Dominique Thorne most excited. At the end of Ironheart, Riri (Thorne) makes a literal deal with the devil, agreeing to partner with the evil Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen) in exchange

New evidence that some supernovae may be a “double detonation”

Type Ia supernovae are critical tools in astronomy, since they all appear to explode with the same intensity, allowing us to use their brightness as a measure of distance. The distance measures they've given us have been critical to tracking the expansion of the Universe, which led to the recognition that there's some sort of dark energy hastening the Universe's expansion. Yet there are ongoing arguments over exactly how these events are triggered. There's widespread agreement that type Ia supe

Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in 2023 left a hole in the tech industry. For years, the bank poured money into the Bay Area’s riskier startups, allowing those companies to pursue their various “disruptive” aims. Eventually, mismanagement led that business model to collapse.
