You’re Thinking About AI and Water All...

December 12, 2025

Last month, journalist Karen Hao posted a Twitter thread in which she acknowledged that there was a substantial error in her blockbuster book Empire of AI. Hao had written that a proposed Google data center in a town near Santiago, Chile, could require “more than one thousand times the amount of water consumed by the entire population”—a figure which, thanks to a unit misunderstanding, appears to have been off by a magnitude of 1,000. In the thread, Hao thanked...

In a recent interview with Radio Times, the creator of the beloved claymation series “Wallace and Gromit” said his animation studio, Aardman, would “embrace” AI — albeit in a “cautious” manner. “When ‘Toy Story’ came out , we thought, ‘How long have we got?’ But we’ve managed to survive CGI,” Park...

NASA Announces Plan to Map Milky Way...

December 12, 2025

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...

Freshly reported testimony from the Data Worker’s Inquiry — an international research initiative empowering gig workers to document their industries — revealed stunning details behind one of the fastest growing consumer niches in the AI sector. During a period of desperation in which he struggled to...

Scientists reveal the real benefits and hidden...

December 12, 2025

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...

‘Six-Seven’ Is Six Feet Under

December 12, 2025

It goes like this: When six and seven appear together in print, or in speech, or on television, or in a YouTube video, or even just when you write them down on loose-leaf paper, that’s “six-seven.” “Six-seven!” you say, you probably being a middle-school-age child. Such is the youth phenomenon known by this name. Now you know, but chances are you already did, especially if a preteen has lived in your house anytime since this spring. Six-seven-ing seems to...

Scientists find dark chocolate ingredient that slows...

December 12, 2025

A natural chemical in dark chocolate may play a role in slowing certain signs of biological aging. Researchers at King’s College London have identified theobromine, a plant compound found in cocoa, as a possible contributor to this effect. The study, published on December 10 in Aging, analyzed how much theobromine was present in participants’ blood and compared those levels with biological aging markers measured in blood samples. What Biological Age Reveals Biological age reflects how well a person’s body is functioning,...

Massive Stars Make Their Mark in Hubble...

December 12, 2025

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a glittering blue dwarf galaxy called Markarian 178 (Mrk 178). The galaxy, which is substantially smaller than our own Milky Way, lies 13 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). Mrk 178 is one of more than 1,500 Markarian galaxies. These galaxies get their name from the Armenian astrophysicist Benjamin Markarian, who compiled a list of galaxies that were surprisingly bright in ultraviolet light. While the bulk of...

Mysterious Interstellar Object Now Approaching Earth

December 12, 2025

For months now, astronomers have been closely watching the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS as it rips through the solar system at a breakneck velocity. And before it finally leaves us for good, the object — which is broadly believed to be a comet, in spite of other theories that we’ll get to in a minute — is expected to make its closest approach to Earth in just over a week from now, coming within just 167 million miles. While...

A silent ocean pandemic is wiping out...

December 12, 2025

Sea urchins play a crucial role in the ocean, acting as ecosystem engineers much like large grazers on land. As they feed on seaweed and seagrass, they trim back algae and help protect slow-growing species such as corals and certain calcifying algae. In turn, sea urchins are an important food source for many marine mammals, fish, crustaceans, and sea stars. When sea urchin populations grow too large, however, especially if their natural predators are heavily hunted or overfished, the...

New fossils in Qatar reveal a tiny...

December 12, 2025

Today the Arabian Gulf supports large numbers of dugongs, marine mammals related to manatees that feed on seagrass and leave trails in the sediment as they graze. Newly examined fossils from Qatar show that sea cows living more than 20 million years ago shaped their environments in much the same way. The findings, published December 10 in the journal PeerJ, come from a partnership between scientists at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Qatar Museums. The team...

Pacific Moisture Drenches the U.S. Northwest

December 12, 2025

Waves of heavy rainfall in early December 2025 spurred landslides and flooding in parts of the Pacific Northwest. The deluge was the result of a potent atmospheric river that took aim at the region starting around December 7. Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of moisture that move like rivers in the sky, transporting water vapor from the tropics toward the poles. They occur around the planet, most often in autumn and winter, with the U.S. West Coast typically...
