During a press conference in the Oval Office late last month, US President Donald Trump doubled down on his plan to build a massive new missile defense system largely based in space he is calling the “Golden Dome.” In recent weeks, defense companies have begun vying for anticipated government contracts tied to the project, and three firms with deep connections to the White House—SpaceX, Palantir, and Anduril—have been named as purported frontrunners. Trump ordered plans to be drawn up for the G

Venus is home to some of the weirdest volcanoes in the solar system—massive, flattened domes that look like planetary pancakes left to cool on the world’s blistering surface. Scientists have long suspected these “pancake domes” formed from thick, slow-moving lava. But a new study suggests that Venus’ bendy crust may be crucial to the formation of the circular mounts. The research, published earlier this month in Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, focused on one particularly enormous dome

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is reportedly chomping at the bit to build Trump’s $175 billion “Golden Dome” defense system, designed to protect the U.S. from foreign missiles “even if they are launched from the other side of the world.” Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled the first details of the project during an Oval Office briefing on Tuesday, claiming that it can be completed in three years at the cost $175 billion. Both the budget and timeline conflict with a Congressional Budget Office

Thomas Klitgaard The obvious answer to the question of why the United States runs a trade deficit is that its export sales have not kept up with its demand for imports. A less obvious answer is that the imbalance reflects a macroeconomic phenomenon. Using national accounting, one can show deficits are also due to a persistent shortfall in domestic saving that requires funds from abroad to finance domestic investment spending.

May is here, and so is the summer movie season, starting with Thunderbolts. Marvel’s newest movie isn’t just a hit with audiences and critics, it’s also taking off financially. Domestically, the film has opened to $76 million at time of writing, per the Hollywood Reporter. That’s slightly past expectations pegging it in the $70-75 million range, and puts it over the 3-day openings for Shang-Chi ($75.4 million) and Eternals ($71.3 million), and a bit behind Black Widow’s ($80 million).

Recently, a new "instrument" entered the pantheon, only it's not an instrument at all, but rather an insect stuck with probes and zapped with electricity.

Tesla is facing a new scandal that once again sees the electric automaker accused of misleading customers. In the past, it has been caught making "misleading statements" about the safety of its electric vehicles, and more recently, an investigation by Reuters found Tesla EVs exaggerated their efficiency.

Tesla has been accused of manipulating the odometers in its cars to avoid repair responsibilities and warranty agreements. As The Street reports, a class-action lawsuit filed in February claims that Tesla has been trying to dodge warranty-related obligations by intentionally overstating the distances its vehicles travel. The plaintiff, a man in California who bought a used 2020 Model Y with 36,772 miles, noticed an "abnormal spike in average daily miles driven" — despite a "consistent driving

The Pentagon is expected to deliver plans for a “Golden Dome” to Trump this week. In the crudest sense, the Golden Dome is a missile defense system that would shoot nukes, missiles, and drones that threaten the U.S. out of the sky. A scientific study published earlier this month detailed the scientific impossibility of the scheme. America has tried to build a missile defense system since before Ronald Reagan was president. Reagan wanted to put satellites into space that would use lasers to blas

Scientists don't know exactly how wolves were domesticated into early dogs , but it's possible that they domesticated themselves by choosing to coexist with humans so that, a new study finds, they could be fed consistently. Then, these snackish canines likely selected mates that did the same. While the theory is nothing new , the new research shows it's statistically possible for the wolves to have driven their own domestication into dogs through natural selection .

It’s hard to imagine that dogs descended from fierce grey wolves—especially when your fat labrador begs for peanut butter, or your poodle snores on the couch. And yet, that’s exactly what happened. The ancestors of grey wolves were domesticated into dogs in two distinct periods: around 30,000 to 15,000 years ago, and 15,000 years ago to the modern era. While the more recent period likely saw humans selectively breeding for tamer wolves, the domestication process of the older period has been hot
