A new upgrade to the International Space Station’s (ISS) quantum laboratory is enabling NASA to probe the behavior of atoms further than ever before, the space agency has announced.Combining the ISS’s newly upgraded “Cold Atom Laboratory” with the near zero-gravity of low Earth orbit, scientists are attempting to understand the properties of so-called “ultracold” atoms in an environment impossible to replicate on Earth. The aim of the mission is to study how clouds of atoms behave at temperatures close to absolute zero (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 273.15 degrees Celsius) — the coldest possible temperature in the universe, where…

CNN pundit Scott Jennings ripped into fellow conservative panelist Caroline Sunshine during a fiery on-air clash over Iran after she admitted she hadn’t heard the US has been engaged in conflict with the regime for nearly five decades. The heated exchange took place on Thursday’s “CNN NewsNight,” hosted by Abby Phillip, where guests sparred over whether Congress should impose additional “guardrails” on President Trump’s authority to launch military action against Iran. Jennings, who argued against new restrictions, dismissed calls for greater congressional oversight, saying the US couldn’t afford to be “all rainbows and unicorns with the Iranians,” adding that “they’ve…

The Pentagon released its fourth batch of UFO files Friday following President Trump’s declassification order, including footage of a mysterious six-pointed object off the coast of East Asia. The latest files — while containing no proof of alien life — add to the diversity of unexplained phenomena revealed since May, which have run the gamut from well-documented moving orbs to a more thinly sourced spotting of an enormous crystal potato-shaped object over Colorado. The Trump administration, including the FBI, is treating UFOs as a national security threat that warrants more investigation — though they have offered no evidence to back…

Sam Altman’s right-hand woman at OpenAI, Fidji Simo, is stepping down from her full-time role after an extended medical leave – just as the artificial intelligence giant is gearing up for its IPO.  The No. 2 executive said on X that her medical issue, a neuroimmune condition, had worsened and her recovery timeline would be longer than anticipated.  “This has been one of the hardest decisions of my career, but my body left me no choice—my symptoms became as loud as I am stubborn,” she wrote. The departure is the latest in a series of high-profile exits and changes at…

The request came in like so many others, a sick kid wanting to connect with a star college athlete. Hearing about the situation, Roch Cholowsky took off like he was trying to beat out an infield single. The UCLA shortstop went to see the teenage boy battling a rare and aggressive cancer before his coach had even asked whether he could find the time. In characteristic fashion for someone who tends to take things to the extreme, Cholowsky didn’t just show up to visit Johnny Brande – he brought the entire team. Thirty players crammed into that hospital room on…

Think of it as a tiny, protective shield for your lady parts. Most women have never heard of their “vaginal biofilm,” but it’s an important part of their health, influencing symptoms like vaginal odor, discharge or recurring infections. “[It’s] a thin, sticky layer of bacteria that can attach to the vaginal lining and protect itself by producing a kind of shield,” OB-GYN Dr. Kate McLean told The Post. “Think of it like a microscopic community of bacteria living under a protective coating,” she added, noting that you can’t see or feel it yourself, but you definitely feel its impact. When…

The European Union’s tech regulator told Meta on Friday to make big changes to Facebook and Instagram’s “addictive” features — or face steep fines. The European Commission called out Mark Zuckerberg’s company for several specific features, including “highly personalized recommendations, autoplay and infinite scroll” that allegedly combine to keep users – including vulnerable kids – hooked on social media. Firms can face fines of up to 6% of their annual revenue if they don’t make changes to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act, a sweeping regulatory framework that requires Big Tech firms to maintain standards for the content and…
