Giving AI a “crystal clear” view of...

In principle, artificial intelligence could make finding the right material for an application as simple as ordering dinner: Scientists would tell a large language model what they want, and it would serve them the perfect material for the job. Unfortunately, that approach doesn’t work well yet, and the problem comes down to data: Most materials consist of 3D arrangements of crystals, not the text streams that today’s large language models are trained on. The experimental literature is also heavily……

What Makes a Hotel PMS Ready for...

An AI-ready PMS is a property management system that AI agents can read from and act on safely through documented interfaces, controlled permissions, and an audit trail. The real test is not whether your PMS advertises AI, but whether an authorized agent can reach live hotel data and take approved actions without another custom integration.

From the Mojave to Phobos: PlanetVac rides...

Japan’s Martian Moons eXploration mission, MMX, is about to set out for Phobos and Deimos, the two small moons of Mars. If all goes well, it will bring the first-ever sample from the Martian system back to Earth. Asa Stahl, public outreach astronomer at The Planetary Society, explains why these strange little moons are still such a mystery and what a piece of Phobos could reveal. Then Kris Zacny, vice president and senior research scientist at Honeybee Robotics, tells……

Space Policy Edition: What does “science as...

Can you buy science the way you buy a rocket launch? NASA is exploring the idea of “science as a service,” asking industry how commercial companies could provide scientific data and capabilities for Earth science, space weather, and astrophysics. But the concept isn’t new. It’s the latest chapter in a four-decade effort to commercialize space science that stretches back to the brief, troubled privatization of Landsat in the 1980s. Casey Dreier is joined by Jack Kiraly, chief of advocacy……

The Righteous EV Owners Who Won’t Let...

On an October evening in 2024, a gardener named Svein Hodne was driving home from vacation on a wind-buffeted coastal road in southwest Norway when his electric car began behaving strangely. Yellow and red warnings lit up its display. An alarm went off. The car lost power. Hodne barely managed to turn off the road and into a bus stop, right next to a graveyard and a church, before the car came to a stop. He was alone. His……

How Joyce DiDonato’s childhood inspired her role...

NEW YORK (AP) — It seems all but unthinkable today: A major TV network hires a famous composer to write an original opera and broadcasts it live in prime time on Christmas Eve. But it was a different world in the early days of television back in 1951 when Gian Carlo Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors” premiered on NBC to an estimated audience of 5 million children and adults. With its tuneful score and uplifting story of a…

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadcom is leading artificial-intelligence stocks lower on Friday, but other areas of the market that used to get left behind by Big Tech are picking up some of the slack. That’s keeping Wall Street indexes near their record heights. The S&P 500 slipped 0.2% in morning trading, coming off its latest all-time high, while the weakness for tech had the Nasdaq composite down 0.4%, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time. The majority of stocks on…

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Declaring Las Vegas a “cowboy town,” dozens of riders on horseback have traditionally kicked off the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo by galloping into the arena and then lining up their horses side by side as the riders tip their hats to cheers. But an equine virus outbreak this year has loomed over one of the world’s most prestigious rodeos and the threat was apparent from the start: Riders walked out during the grand entry on…

NASA Announces Plan to Map Milky Way...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has released detailed plans for a major survey that will reveal our home galaxy, the Milky Way, in unprecedented detail. In one month of observations spread across two years, the survey will unveil tens of billions of stars and explore previously uncharted structures. This video begins with a view of the Carina Nebula — a giant, relatively nearby star-forming region in the southern sky. Roman will view the entire nebula as well……

Medical cannabis is widely used for issues such as chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia, but a major analysis led by UCLA Health reports that the scientific support for these uses remains weak. A study published in JAMA examined more than 2,500 scientific papers released from January 2010 through September 2025, including randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses and clinical guidelines. Over 120 of these studies were given priority based on sample size, recency, relevance and the range of health conditions they……
