(NewsNation) — Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb appears to be walking back his attention-grabbing theory that an interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS could be some sort of alien technology sent to spy on Earth.
Much of the scientific community has said 3I/ATLAS is merely a comet, albeit a large one with unusual properties. The object reached its closest point to the Earth this week — if 170 million miles can be considered close — and was last seen heading out into ****** e beyond the solar system.
“So far, so good,” Loeb told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Monday. “3I/ATLAS did not maneuver o

Police reveal new leads in JonBenét Ramsey case as DNA tech advances

Nearly 30 years after 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey was found dead in Boulder, Colorado, an annual report from police says "new evidence" is being considered in the case.
Ramsey, a child beauty queen born in Atlanta, was reported missing from her Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996 and was later found strangled to death. No one has been charged with her death.
Her murder has been the subject of intense speculation and decades of documentaries, true crime podcasts and conspiracy theories, leading investigators to provide annual up

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The world of crime and DNA has evolved significantly over the past decade, including the use of phenotyping to help solve cases.

Micron to exit consumer memory business amid global supply shortage

Dec 3 (Reuters) - Memory chipmaker Micron Technology said on Wednesday it will exit its consumer business, as it doubles down on advanced memory chips used in artificial intelligence data centers amid a ‌global supply shortage of the essential semiconductors.
Shares of the company were down 2.6% in afternoon ‌trading.
Micron's move to dissolve its consumer business comes against a backdrop of worldwide strain in memory supply chains, with tight availability of semiconductors ranging from flash chips used in smartphones to

Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa

WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday announced increased vetting of applicants for H-1B visas for highly skilled workers, with an internal State Department memo saying that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech be considered for rejection.

A 'K-shaped' economy is emerging: What that could mean for 2026

A growing chorus on Wall Street is warning that the US economy is becoming increasingly K-shaped, with higher-income households powering spending while lower-income consumers struggle with affordability. It mirrors what investors have seen in the stock market, where Big Tech continues to drive the major indexes even as other sectors lag behind.

Knowing the time is useful for all kinds of things, and now, physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have finally figured out what time it is on Mars. Beyond the need to satisfy our cosmic curiosity, knowing the precise time at other locales in our galaxy is a navigational necessity for future travelers to places like the Red Planet just as it was to Earth’s early ship-bound explorers in bygone eras.
“What time is it on Mars?” is a deceptively tricky question to answer. The Martian day is slightly longer than Earth’s (around 40 minutes), and its year is almos

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The European Union has reached a preliminary deal on how to regulate gene-edited crops in a move that could ease the development of new varieties in a region long ‌wary of biotech innovations in food.
The EU has debated for years how to regulate so-called new ‌genomic techniques (NGT), which can edit the genetic material of an organism without introducing traits from another species.
Proponents say the technology accelerates naturally-occurring mutations and offers a response to climate and environmental pressures, while critics bracket it with genetically modified o

A rare technical signal that preceded Bitcoin’s explosive rally in late 2023 has reappeared, with the Bollinger Bandwidth indicator dipping below 100 and flashing a green alert that could reshape Bitcoin price prediction for the remainder of December.

Bitcoin and companies tied to cryptocurrencies extended a nearly two-month swoon Monday, tracking with a broader market sell-off in technology companies that many see as overvalued.
Bitcoin slid 6.5% after being down nearly 12% earlier in the day, settling in just above $85,000. The most-traded cryptocurrency is down about 33% since hitting a record $126,210.50 on Oct. 6, according to crypto trading platform Coinbase. Bitcoin had soared since April in line with the stock market and driven partly by a more crypto-friendly tone in Washington.

Lasers are everywhere. Whether for barcode scanners, hair removal treatments or fiber-optic internet connections, these beams of light power our everyday lives. Their history dates back to Einstein’s theories in the 1910s and experiments funded by the U.S. government in the 1950s. It took decades for lasers to go from theory to research prototypes to ubiquitous technology.
Many discoveries follow a similar path, including right here in Tennessee.

A mild uptick in bitcoin mining in China has prompted calls for Beijing to loosen its restrictions and let the power-hungry industry tap into the country's oversupply of energy, but experts said the likelihood of China ending its mining ban was low.

The boom in metal-intensive technologies like data centers and electric vehicles has made it a prime time to be in the US aluminum business.
Prices are booming. Part of that is because inside every data center are cooling units, server racks, radiators, and a litany of other pieces and parts made out of aluminum.
No wonder demand is high.
But data centers guzzle enormous amounts of power, and electricity prices are skyrocketing. In the US alone, electricity demand is expected to grow five to 10 times faster over the next 10 years than it did in the previous decade, per Bank of America.

A new scientific study found that boulders in mountain ecosystems are changing how snow melts.
As glaciers rapidly melt and expose what lies beneath, those rocks actively alter snow behavior.

They used 3D laser scanning, infrared cameras, and drone photogrammetry and published their findings in the journal Cold Regions Science and Technology.
The scientists discovered that snow melts faster near boulders because the rocks radiate heat and due to
