The number of potential victims may not be as bad as claimed, though.

Facebook's promises of sharing detailed amounts of data with researchers and academics to enable them to study and flag disinformation on the site ahead of the 2020 campaign seem to have fallen short, according to a new report from The New York Times. In April 2018, the social networking giant outlined its plans to provide data to academics to "help people better understand the broader impact of social media on democracy — as well as improve our work to protect the integrity of elections."

The quantum realm isn’t the only way to get past binary computation. Our own brains are also a source of inspiration to overhaul the computational world.

Earlier this summer, Apple announced a host of changes to its Maps app as part of the upcoming iOS 13 update. Now that the new operating system is finally here, the tech giant is beginning to gradually roll out those changes in the US. It started with California and Texas, and, as of this week, now includes the US Northeast.

The more powerful a technology is, the more care it requires to safely operate.

When it comes to mining space for water, the best target may not be the moon: Entrepreneurs' richest options are likely to be asteroids that are larger and closer to Earth. A recent study suggested that roughly 1,000 water-rich, or hydrated, asteroids near our planet are easier to reach than the lunar surface is. While most of these space rocks are only a few feet in size, more than 25 of them should be large enough to each provide significant water.

With happiness harder to come by these days, people are grasping at any moment of joy they can get.

Chinese scientists have developed a 500 megapixel facial recognition camera four times more detailed than the human eye that can identify individuals from crowds of tens of thousands in streets or at sports stadiums.

An Australian state is attempting to persuade people to put down their smartphones while driving by rolling out cameras to prosecute distracted motorists. New South Wales Roads Minister Andrew Constance said Monday that Australia’s most populous state is the first jurisdiction in the world to use such technology to punish drivers distracted by social media, text messages or phone calls.

When news leaked that Google scientists had achieved "quantum supremacy," researchers immediately clashed on its implications.

It’s not uncommon for astronauts aboard the International Space Station to witness a rocket hurtling from Earth to the stars. But a recent image taken by an American astronaut may be the most beautiful one we’ve ever seen. NASA astronaut Christina Koch tweeted an image yesterday (Sept. 25) that she captured of a Soyuz capsule, which took off from Kazakhstan carrying astronauts from the US, Russia and the first one from the United Arab Emirates. The American passenger aboard Soyuz 61 was Jessica Meir, who trained with Koch, Space.com reported.

A team of researchers from UC Santa Barbara and Intel took thousands of conversations from the scummiest communities on Reddit and Gab and used them to develop and train AI to combat hate speech. Finally, r/The_Donald and other online cesspools are doing something useful.

We have finally uncovered hard evidence that 3.5 billion year old rocks in Australia really do contain fossils of the oldest known microorganisms. The findings put to bed a debate that has raged for years and may even enlighten us as to how some of Earth’s earliest life forms functioned.

Sometimes it feels hard to remember that Silicon Valley is an actual place, a collage of parched suburbs, and not just the collective noun for information-technology companies. But before it was the idea center of the internet, it was a group of factory towns, the blinking heart of “clean” manufacturing, the hallmark of the Information Age.

"The president must be held accountable," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday. "No one is above the law."

“We have never seen anything like this in the 24 years we have studied the supermassive black hole,” said UCLA professor Andrea Ghez.

Animals are disappearing at hundreds of times the normal rate, primarily because of shrinking habitats. Their biggest threat: humans.

Mazin praised series director Johan Renck, who won for best directing in a limited series during Sunday night's ceremony.

Brain-computer interface technology is moving fast and Silicon Valley is moving in. Will we all soon be typing with our minds?
