For decades, astronomers have claimed the Milky Way will merge with Andromeda in ~4 billion years. Here’s why, in 2025, that seems unlikely.
Meta has signed a 20-year agreement to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy, continuing the wave of tech giants teaming up with the industry.
The 1980 eruption cycle made Mount St. Helens one of the most famous and now best-monitored volcanoes in the Cascades. But it is far from the only volcano in the range.
From southern British Columbia to Northern California, the Cascade Range comprises an 800-mile chain of volcanoes.
So, how did this volcanic landscape come to be?
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is exploring a new region of interest the team is calling “Krokodillen” that may contain some of the oldest rocks on Mars. The area has been on the Perseverance science team’s wish list because it marks an important boundary between the oldest rocks of Jezero Crater’s rim and those of the plains beyond the crater.
“The last five months have been a geologic whirlwind,” said Ken Farley, deputy project scientist for Perseverance from Caltech in Pasadena. “As successful as our exploration of ‘Witch Hazel Hill’ has been, our investigation of Krokodillen promises to be just as compelling.”
Named by Perseverance mission scientists after a mountain ridge on the island of Prins Karls Forland, Norway, Krokodillen (which means “the crocodile” in Norwegian) is a 73-acre (about 30-hectare) plateau of rocky outcrops located downslope to the west and south of Witch Hazel Hill.
Researchers led by Hiroshi Ohno at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan have discovered a new way to reduce obesity. Their study shows that supplying the gut with extra acetate reduces fat and liver mass in both normal and obese mice, as long as bacteria of the Bacteroides species are also present in the gut.
When both these conditions are met, gut bacteria can eliminate more sugars from the gut and promote the burning of fats for energy in the host. The findings were published in Cell Metabolism.
Affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world, obesity constitutes a global epidemic. It is linked to eating too much sugar and starchy foods and is known to increase the risk of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and cancer. At the same time, studies show that eating fiber reduces the risk of these very same diseases—even though it cannot be digested directly by mammals.
The authors show that experimentally available spin-orbit coupled quantum gases are ideal platforms for the quantum simulation of solid-state spin Hall effects and for the study of unconventional spin Hall effects.

Most people assume it will take years for AI to reshape the job landscape. But tasks that chatbots can do are already vanishing from job postings.
The global EUV Photoresists market is projected to grow from US$176.19 million in 2024 to US$646.71 million by 2030, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 24.20% during the forecast period.
In terms of production side, this report researches the EUV Photoresists production, growth rate, market share by manufacturers and by region (region level and country level), from 2022 to 2024, and forecast to 2030.
Recent safety tests show some AI models are capable of sabotaging commands or even resorting to blackmail to avoid being turned off or replaced.
