futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-20 08:07:07

"Punctum" may sound like type of punctuation, but to some scientists, it constitutes what may be a brand new type of cosmic object. In a new interview with Gizmodo, Elena Shablovinskaya, a radio astronomer at Chile's Universidad Diego Portales (UDP) and Germany's Max Planck Institute who led the team behind the find, waxed prolific about the bright dot she and her colleagues detected in a nearby galaxy.

When the UK government announced the creation of the Alan Turing Institute in 2014 it promised a “fitting memorial” to the renowned computer scientist and artificial intelligence pioneer.

There’s going green for the sake of the planet, and then there’s going green as part of a policy initiative that winds up buying a bunch of glitch-plagued electric vehicles from a company that went bankrupt and can no longer service them. The latter is the exact story of a New York-based company called American Lease, which has spent around $45 million for 2,800 cars from Fisker, a now-dead EV startup that only made 11,000 of that model in its short life anyway, and is now using them as part of
