Nov 28th, 2025 - While are still generating minimal revenue, they are making material technological advances, and tech luminaries, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, have given credit to the development, saying it could become very useful sooner than he had expected. Alphabet IonQ Quantum Computing Inc There are different scientific methods for making Unlike most of its pure-play quantum computing peers, IonQ has also begun to deliver material revenue. In the third quarter, its revenue jumped 222% to $39.9 million. The business is still deeply unprofitable with a generally accepted accounting principles ( ... [Read More]

Nov 28th, 2025 - By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have solved the mystery of 3.4 million-year-old fossils called the "Burtele Foot" discovered in Ethiopia in 2009, finding they belonged to an enigmatic human ancestor that lived alongside another closely related species during a poorly understood time in human evolution. Based on the recent discovery ​nearby of 25 teeth and the jawbone of a 4-1/2 year-old child, scientists have determined that the eight foot bones represent the species Australopithecus deyiremeda, which ‌combined ape-like and human-like traits and was first ...

Nov 27th, 2025 - MOSCOW (AP) — A U.S.-Russian crew of three began a mission to the International Space Station aboard a Russian spacecraft following a successful launch Thursday. A Soyuz booster rocket lifted off at 2:27 p.m. (9:27 a.m. GMT) from the Russia-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan to put the Soyuz MS-28 into orbit. The spacecraft carried NASA astronaut Chris Williams and two Russian crewmates, Sergei Mikaev and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov. The craft docked at the International Space Station approximately three hours after liftoff at 5:34 p.m (12:34 p.m. GMT). All three are expected to ... [Read More]

Nov 27th, 2025 - 6 min read Tryptophan, the essential amino acid behind the Thanksgiving myth that eating turkey can make you sleepy, has been found to exist on Bennu, a small asteroid that swings by our planet about every six years. The discovery stems from an unprecedented sample collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which landed a spacecraft on the asteroid in 2020, captured 4.3 ounces (121.6 grams) of rocks and dust, and safely returned the cache to Earth in 2023. NASA has since distributed a small portion of that sample to researchers around the world to be analyzed. Studying Bennu is important ... [Read More]

Nov 27th, 2025 - The answer may surprise you. Seeing hummingbirds delight at backyard feeders is one of the many joys of birders across the South, but making sure they are kept happy–and staying at your feeder–can be an overwhelming thought. Depending on where you live, the hummingbird feeder can be put out as early as late February, but when should you take down hummingbird feeders ? According to the National Audubon Society, feeders can be kept out as long as there are hummingbirds around. "You can even continue to provide the feeder after your hummingbirds disappear—late migrants or ... [Read More]

Nov 27th, 2025 - Using one of the largest lifespan MRI datasets to date, researchers uncovered the four critical moments when the brain's wiring reorganizes, revealing how our neural networks grow, stabilize, and eventually decline as we age. Study: T In a study published in Nature Communications , researchers mapped structural topological development across the human lifespan. As we move through life, the brain's structure and function change in distinct ways. Its topology, the complex patterns that define how neural connections are organized, also evolves with age. It is associated with behavioral, mental ... [Read More]

Nov 26th, 2025 - A human avian influenza case reported in Mexico in late September has been confirmed as H5N2, making it the country's second known human infection with this subtype and the second reported worldwide, according to health officials. The case was initially classified only as avian influenza A(H5) when it was announced on September 30. The Pan American Health Organization ( PAHO ) said further laboratory analysis has now confirmed the virus as H5N2. Mexican health officials reported that the patient was a 23-year-old woman from Mexico City who had no recent travel history. PAHO said she began ... [Read More]

Nov 26th, 2025 - Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... By MARCIA DUNN CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A telescope in Chile has captured a stunning new picture of a grand and graceful cosmic butterfly. The National Science Foundation's NoirLab released the picture Wednesday. Snapped last month by the Gemini South telescope, the aptly named Butterfly Nebula is 2,500 to 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. A single light-year is 6 trillion miles. At the heart of this bipolar nebula is a white dwarf star that cast aside its outer layers of gas long ago. The discarded gas forms the ... [Read More]
