Tesla has concluded its 2025 fiscal year earnings call, revealing that its profits nearly halved compared to the previous year. The company reported a GAAP net income of $3.8 billion, down from $7.1 billion in 2024, marking a 46% decrease. Yikes. From Electric Cars to Full Autonomy with AI and Robotics That’s a tough situation […]

Scientists have identified an enzyme that promotes fat synthesis and demonstrated that inhibiting it stops weight gain and reduces cholesterol levels in mice. Obesity has become one of the most prevalent global health problems and is a leading cause of avoidable illness and premature mortality. It greatly raises the likelihood of associated conditions such as

Chinese researchers have created a flexible, hair-thin fiber chip that enables smart clothing with interactive displays, according to Xinhua News Agency, a TV BRICS partner. Each centimeter of the fiber holds about 100,000 transistors—comparable to the processing power of a modern computer when extended to one meter. The chip can handle digital and analog signals

An international team, including Cornell’s Jake Turner, developed a method to uncover hidden stellar and exoplanetary signals in archival radio data. Using this technique, scientists have identified new radio bursts from dwarf stars and potentially from exoplanets. The method, Multiplexed Interferometric Radio Spectroscopy (RIMS), reveals some signals linked to star–planet interactions. The findings appeared in

A group of engineers and scientists has demonstrated for the first time that a hard X-ray cavity can achieve net X-ray gain. In their experiment, crystal mirrors repeatedly reflected the X-ray pulses, amplifying them in a process similar to that of an optical laser. This proof-of-concept at the European XFEL produced an exceptionally coherent, laser-like

Science can sometimes move at a glacial pace. Data trickles in slowly, truth emerges gradually, and certainty is often hard-won. The world’s longest-running lab experiment embodies this kind of extreme patience. It has been ongoing for nearly a century, overseen by successive custodians and observed by countless onlookers, as the experiment proceeds at an almost

Imagine a normal-looking shirt that tracks health, environment, temperature, and travel info in real time. That same ultra-thin fiber could also help treat neurological disorders and assist in robotic surgery. These possibilities come from a groundbreaking new “fiber chip.” Fudan University Unveils Ultra-Thin Fiber Chip Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed complex electronic

Episodic memory—the ability to remember personal experiences and past events—tends to weaken with age. While this decline is well documented, the underlying mechanisms have long been unclear. A recent study helps shed light on how and why this process occurs. A team at the University of Oslo studied whether age-related memory loss is universal or

Medical progress doesn’t always come from cutting-edge technology or sophisticated machinery; sometimes it starts with simple observation. That was the case when scientists examined a spinach leaf and recognized its potential as the foundation for an experimental artificial heart, created in the lab to support research on heart disease and tissue regeneration. The study was

On December 29, KAIST unveiled a powdered agent that stops bleeding in about one second, forming a durable hydrogel to reduce fatal blood loss. Severe blood loss is the top cause of combat deaths, creating a need for fast, reliable treatments in extreme conditions. In response, a KAIST research team developed a method to halt
