(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

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.
In the Lowcountry, a 40-year-old cold case was solved recently with the help of new DNA testing.
WSAV reached out to Parabon NanoLabs, a company that does bioinformatic testing and genealogy testing to better understand how they are able to use their technology to help law enforcement.
Director of Bioinformatics Ellen Greytak told WSAV that they’re able to predict certain physical traits through phenotyping.

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

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

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.

SEOUL, Dec 1 (Reuters) - South Korea's exports rose in November for a sixth consecutive month, beating market expectations, as chip sales hit a record on strong technology demand while autos also ‌jumped after a U.S. trade deal.
Exports from Asia's fourth-largest economy, a bellwether for global ‌trade, rose 8.4% from the same month a year earlier to $61.04 billion, trade data showed on Monday, stronger than a median 5.7% increase tipped in a Reuters poll of economists.
That was also faster than a 3.5% rise ⁠in October.

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.
China's bitcoin mining market share by hash rate rose from 13.75 per cent in the first quarter of 2025 to 14.06 per cent in the current quarter, making it the third largest bitcoin mining country behind the US and Russia, according to Hashrate Index, a data platform operated by US bitcoin mining firm Luxor Technology.

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.
Led by a McGill University team, researchers studied the Yukon's Shár Shaw Tagà Valley and took detailed measurements of snow melt around boulders. 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

An international team of fusion experts is now leveraging American expertise to bring an amazing concept to fruition.
If successful, the nuclear device could be the next step to abundant, cleaner energy. The unit, dubbed JT-60SA, is being developed by the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology of ***** an and Europe's Fusion for Energy. Scientists from that group have drawn on more experience from the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL) to support diagnostics, according to Eurasia Review.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -Kissing did not begin with star-crossed human lovers but with the primate ancestors of great apes around 20 million years ago, according to a study published on Wednesday.
Researchers from ‌Oxford University and the Florida Institute of Technology wanted to examine when kissing began, given that from ‌an evolutionary standpoint it has no obvious survival benefit, and could spread disease.
Yet humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and gorillas all kiss, which strongly suggests the habit was inherited from a shared ancestor. Scientists in the study co

Fusion is a holy grail for the energy sector, theoretically offering abundant, essentially zero-pollution power in a small physical footprint, without the need to use regional natural resources. There have been many milestones as the technology advances, and a new record in magnetic containment has recently been achieved.

Bitcoin's 30-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 Index has surged to its highest level in 3 years. Meanwhile, its link to traditional safe-haven **** ets, such as gold, has dropped to nearly zero.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), The Kobeissi Letter highlighted that the cryptocurrency’s 30-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 Index has reached roughly 0.80. This was the highest reading since 2022 and the second-strongest

Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp warned that in large swaths of the artificial intelligence market, the cost to build the technology may not be worth it.
His comments came as investors have grown increasingly concerned over whether companies' billions of dollars in AI spending will pay off.
