I can’t do crimes because I can’t have my texts read aloud in court.

The White House will discuss ways to overcome a semiconductor chip supply crisis that is cutting auto production around the world in a new round of meetings with major companies on Thursday.

Time is not a friend for the International Space Station. American efforts to extend its closing until 2030 possibly beyond are dependent upon evaluations of its continued safety and integrity. Materials in space age under the stresses of the space environment and deteriorate over time.

Owning things used to be simple. You went to the store. You paid money for something, whether it be a TV, clothes, books, toys, or electronics. You took your item home, and once you paid it off, that thing belonged to you. It was yours. You could do whatever you wanted with it. That’s not how it is today, and by 2030, technology will have advanced to the point that even the idea of owning objects might be obsolete.

If you’re a cool person, the kind that listens to albums on cassette for authenticity, then no doubt you’re already...

It was a member of a small, isolated community of mammoths that was the last vestige of a once-thriving species that could be found roaming the plains of the northern hemisphere from Alaska to Siberia. Scientists still debate what caused the mammoths to finally go extinct, but the general consensus is that it was a combination of human hunting, genetic defects from inbreeding, and natural climate change, which shrank suitable mammoth habitat by a factor of ten.

NASA had high hopes for Mars' Jezero Crater and what it could tell us about the potential for past life on the red planet. The Perseverance rover's first rock core samples from this now-dry lakebed are giving scientists plenty of reason to get excited.

A team of researchers led by Professor Yabing Qi in the Energy Materials and Surface Sciences Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Japan have imaged the atoms at the surface of the light-absorbing layer in a new type of next-generation solar cells, made from a crystal material called metal-halide perovskite.

A new study doesn’t examine that idea. Rather, it asks: We know that extraction and production processes are not as clean as they could be. So, essentially, what is the impact of those? In the United States, burning fossil fuels account for 74 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, which isn’t new information exactly. However, scientists suggest that focusing on just the air pollution doesn’t show the full extent of the damage done.

With over 40 million people worldwide suffering the effects of type 1 diabetes, new efficient treatments are constantly in high demand. One technology that has great potential is the microencapsulation device (MED), which houses insulin-secreting cells in a protective compartment protecting them from the body's autoimmune response.

The number of known planets in our solar system has changed over time, but we’re currently sitting at eight since the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet. However, some scientists believe there is a ninth planet lurking out there in the inky blackness at the edge of the solar system. A new analysis supports the notion that there’s something out there, and it also narrows the region we need to search if we want to find the contentious Planet Nine.

In iOS 15, Apple's stock Weather app received a major design overhaul, in part thanks to a number of features brought over from the popular weather app Dark Sky, which Apple acquired in 2020. One of those features is the inclusion of weather maps, and this article explains what they are and how to use them.

Apple will make several key changes to its App Store as part of a settlement deal with app developers that garnered scrutiny over the tech giant’s policies and market power. Notably, Apple will allow developers to communicate with customers to share information about payment methods outside of Apple’s payment system. The communication will let developers circumvent paying Apple’s commission, Apple said in the late Thursday announcement.

Smoke from the raging wildfires in the West Coast was so severe that it created an air quality alert as far as Reno, Nevada, on Tuesday. Several Nevada counties reported their worst recorded air quality index numbers in the two decades they’ve been monitoring air quality.

A new study conducted by University of Michigan researchers found that eating the BBQ staple shortens your life by 36 minutes.

In one video, a Taliban official reassured female health workers that they could keep their jobs. In another, militants told Sikhs, a minority religious group, that they were free and protected. Still others suggested a new lawfulness in Kabul, with Talib fighters holding looters and thieves at gunpoint.
