Eli Lilly to Build $5 Billion Drug Manufacturing Plant in Virginia

Eli Lilly announced plans on Tuesday to build a $5 billion drug manufacturing facility in Virginia. The announcement comes amid pressure from President Donald Trump to bring more drug manufacturing to the U.S. and threats to slap heavy tariffs on pharmaceuticals coming from overseas. The new manufacturing plant will be built west of Richmond, Virginia, in Goochland County, according to a press release from the company. Eli Lilly says it expects the project to be completed in five years and clai

AI Has a Hidden Water Cost—Here’s How to Calculate Yours

Artificial intelligence systems are thirsty, consuming as much as 500 milliliters of water – a single-serving water bottle – for each short conversation a user has with the GPT-3 version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT system. They use roughly the same amount of water to draft a 100-word email message. That figure includes the water used to cool the data center’s servers and the water consumed at the power plants generating the electricity to run them. But the study that calculated those estimates also po

When to Stream 'Lilo & Stitch' on Disney Plus

With the arrival of Lilo & Stitch, Disney is set to welcome one of its most beloved characters to its streaming home on Disney Plus. The live-action release has raked in just over $1 billion at the box office and will make its way to your TV screen, finding a seat next to its animated predecessor on the streaming platform. Lilo & Stitch revisits the original story of 6-year-old Lilo, a Hawaiian girl being cared for by her older sister Nani, and Stitch, a little blue fugitive alien. Their paths

Galileo’s telescopes: Seeing is believing (2010)

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

'Lilo & Stitch' Gets a Streaming Release Date on Disney Plus

Disney is set to welcome one of its most beloved characters to its streaming home on Disney Plus with the arrival of Lilo & Stitch next month. The live-action release has raked in just over $1 billion at the box office and will make its way to your TV screen, finding a seat next to its animated predecessor on the streaming platform.

Disney Lorcana's Newest Super Rare Card Gives Your Aliens a Big Boost

I’m lucky here at CNET to get an early look at some of the new Disney Lorcana cards -- and sometimes, I get to share them with you. Disney Lorcana is one of the best card games available right now and one of my favorites to play with a group of friends when you're feeling a little tired of gaming. Every quarter, a new set is released, and with the last set, Reign of Jafar, in the rearview, we’re looking forward to the newest set, Fabled. Fabled, or set nine, includes a lot of reprinted cards fr

The Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Is Getting Its Inevitable Sequel

Dean Fleischer Camp’s summer blockbuster hit Lilo & Stitch has officially been given the Disney green light for a sequel. It makes sense for Disney to make the move official today, on June 26—the date co-opted by the company to be an unofficial Stitch holiday inspired by his experiment code from the film, 626. The first film was a blockbuster hit for the studio, which made $920 million globally after being made for a mere $100 million, which is small considering Disney’s usually oversized budge

Lil Snack makes a snackable Scattergories game in partnership with Hasbro

When we last talked with Lil Snack, they were a two-person company making little games that were like snacks. For fun, we posted their games on the GamesBeat.com web site, and it was cool to tell people that we had games on our site at the 2024 GamesBeat Summit. It was just a couple of guys using AI to make games. Flash forward to today, and now they’ve got a partnership with Hasbro to make a game based on the Scattergories board game. Lil Snack has ten new games operated daily for as many as
