More than a decade ago, Jason Citron took the Disrupt stage to pitch his early-stage company in the Startup Battlefield competition at TechCrunch Disrupt as a scrappy founder pitching his vision. Today, he’s built Discord into one of the most successful consumer platforms of its era — valued in the billions and redefining how communities connect, game, and share online.

Woman Sends Money to "Stranded Astronaut" So He Can "Buy Oxygen"

"In space on a spaceship right now." The sky's the limit for how outrageously implausible some scams can get. Actually, try beyond the atmosphere. An elderly woman in Japan sent thousands of dollars to a trickster who claimed to be an astronaut trapped in space and in danger of suffocating, Agence France-Presse reports. In fairness to the lady, though, she thought they were in love. The 80-year-old pensioner, who lives in Sapporo, the capital of Japan's northern island Hokkaido, met the scamm

When Astronauts Enter Space, a "Dark Genome" Activates in Their DNA

Image by Getty / NASA / Futurism Studies Researchers have found that human stem cells are constantly under stress in the microgravity of space — activating hidden, ancient sections of DNA called the "dark genome." In a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell last week, a team of researchers led by Sanford Stem Cell Institute director Catriona Jamieson used a cellphone-sized device on board the International Space Station to watch how stem cells behave in space for the first time.

Latest TRON: Ares trailer takes us back to 1982

We're one month away from the theatrical release of TRON: Ares, and Disney is seeking to stoke interest with a new trailer that shows the titular program going back to the original 1984 grid—and encountering an unexpected figure: the one and only Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). (Some spoilers for Tron and Tron: Legacy below.) As previously reported, TRON: Legacy ended with Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of Kevin Flynn, preventing the digital world from bleeding into the real world, as planned by

Flynn Lives in New ‘Tron: Ares’ Trailer That Goes Heavy on Jeff Bridges

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-28 13:45:31

There are a lot of big names in the cast of Tron: Ares but, really, there’s one that truly sells the movie. That’s Jeff Bridges. Bridges, of course, starred in the first Tron over 40 years ago, as well as its sequel, Tron: Legacy, 15 years ago. His character, Kevin Flynn, is the key to everything that has happened in this story, and while Tron: Ares doesn’t seem to be about him, the fact he’s in it at all is a major selling point. That’s why we really enjoyed this new trailer released by Disney

Tonverk is Elektron’s new polyphonic sample mangler and groovebox

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-28 13:36:45

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl

What’s the Story Behind ‘Tron: Ares?’ Our Report From the Set

“I have to ride a lightcycle.” That was my first thought last year when the invite arrived to visit the set of Disney’s new sequel, Tron: Ares. It seemed like a logical request. When you think of Tron, you think of lightcycles. They’re a huge part of both 2010’s Tron: Legacy and 1982’s Tron. And yet, I had to wonder, were there even lightcycles in this movie?

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge. New findings show a direct correlation between a spacecraft’s electric discharge and peaks in the flux of electrons in space, identifying hu

When Tron: Ares hits theaters in October, it’ll be the end of a 15-year roller coaster ride. The second Tron, Tron: Legacy, was released in December 2010, and almost immediately, talks began about a sequel.

But now, it’s coming, and it’s very different from what fans expected 15 years ago, though some key elements remain. One of the first writers brought on to pen Tron 3 was D

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-23 21:16:33

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the

Most Powerful Fast Radio Burst Ever Detected Hits Telescopes Across North America

Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy

What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant, and they’re “fundamental” in the sense that we can't derive them theoretically, we can only measure them. We use these in solving physics problems all the time, so it’s easy to take them for granted. But why are there such numbers in nature, and why do they just happen to
