techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-06 17:12:08

The Trump administration has finally issued new guidance that states can use to dole out $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, after spending months withholding the money. A coalition of states sued over the funding freeze in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was one of the administration’s many attempts to stop funding appropriated by Congress at the start of Donald Trump’s second term. A judge ruled in June that those states were

Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise‘s journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season. However, that apparently wasn’t always going to be the case, and the show nearly ended sooner. That’s according to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley (a.k.a. Number One) on the show.

An AI Model for the Brain Is Coming to the ICU

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-12-07 03:00:00

The Cleveland Clinic is partnering with San Francisco–based startup Piramidal to develop a large-scale AI model that will be used to monitor patients’ brain health in intensive care units. Instead of being trained on text, the system is based on electroencephalogram (EEG) data, which is collected via electrodes placed on the scalp and then read out by a computer in a series of wavy lines. EEG records the brain’s electrical activity, and changes in this activity can indicate a problem. In an ICU

Techno-noir is having a comeback, but cyberpunk vibes have been around for decades. Movies like the Matrix may have popularized the genre, but it's full of underrated gems.

This quantum radar could image buried objects

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms
