Astronomers Revisit the Mysterious Wow! Signal—and Find a Big Surprise

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-07 18:30:00

Nearly 50 years ago, astronomers searching the cosmos for evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life detected a strong radio signal emanating from deep space. Today, scientists still aren’t sure where—or what—the Wow! Signal came from. It remains one of the most perplexing phenomena in the history of radio astronomy. A new study has brought scientists closer than ever to solving that mystery. Researchers from the Arecibo Wow! (AWOW) project at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico recently

Amazon AGI Labs chief defends his reverse acqui-hire

In Brief When Amazon hired the founders of AI startup Adept last year, it was one of the first examples of what became known as a reverse acqui-hire — a deal where a large company hires key startup team members and licenses its technology, rather than acquiring the startup outright. Adept’s co-founder and former CEO David Luan subsequently became the head of Amazon’s new AGI Lab, and while Luan’s recent interview with The Verge is ostensibly focused on Amazon’s vision for AI agents, reporter A

The AI Industry Has a Huge "Credit Card Debt" Issue

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud, telling reporters that he believes we're in a "phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks.

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-11-06 17:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

However, if travelling northbound in the direction of Niigata, the station takes on a vastly different character. The northbound platform is a 15 minute walk away from the main station building. A majority of this walk consists of a 70m descent down almost 500 steps into the Shin-Shimizu tunnel. The descent is terrifying, with little vision of what awaits you at the end as you venture further and further into the depths.
