A recent study from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication reveals that leading large language models deliver less accurate, sometimes patronizing responses to users with lower English proficiency, less formal education, and non-US origins.

The highly anticipated crewed lunar flyby faces another delay as technical anomalies force the Space Launch System rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs.

Two NASA researchers successfully collected samples from 3,675 feet beneath Antarctic waters. They aim to run simulations on the samples to understand the changes that happen to similar water molecules that erupt into space from icy planets. This could be a big step forward in the search for life on those icy worlds.

ESA is entering the early design and implementation phase of a project that will use lasers to push space debris out of the way. This will be an upgrade to current space safety technologies.

NASA’s Perseverance team recorded the first successful use of a new technology that helps the rover figure out its exact location by itself. Perseverance did this by taking images of its location and matching them with data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

An imaging instrument on a NASA satellite just detected a striking display of lights dancing over the Denmark Strait and Eastern Canada. These Northern Lights (aurora) were produced by a minor geomagnetic storm.

Deal | Humble Bundle's latest package — Beamdog and Owlcat: RPG Masters — is here with a total of 12 items. As the name suggests, it is full of RPG games from Beamdog and Owlcat Games.

A new "nanogate" design breaks the voltage barrier between memory and logic, promising to drastically reduce the energy cost of AI data transfer.

Deal | Popular multiplayer survival game — Rust — is now available on Steam at a 50% discount, thanks to a limited-time sale that will end on February 19.

An international team of researchers has issued a warning on the dangers of AI swarms with regard to the manufacturing of fake public consensus, noting that it might have already been happening.

China’s commercial rocket — Smart Dragon-3 — has showcased its payload adaptability by carrying seven satellites to their planned orbit. One of those satellites belongs to Pakistan. This is a milestone achievement in the space cooperation between China and Pakistan.

Scientists have discovered a planetary system with three planets — the closest one is rocky, and the next two are gaseous. But a fourth planet was later discovered farthest from its star, and surprisingly, it is a rocky planet. This rocky-gaseous-gaseous-rocky order beats current scientific understanding.

By reconfiguring satellite software in orbit, researchers on the Pamir Plateau have doubled the capacity of existing laser communications, setting a new domestic speed record.

Following a successful demonstration flight, the nation's space agency has retrieved a reusable first-stage booster from the South China Sea, advancing its 2030 crewed lunar landing ambitions.

A breakthrough facility in Qinghai province has pushed lithium recovery rates from salt lakes past 90%, establishing a greener, more efficient standard for the global EV battery supply chain.

A novel technique called DISH bypasses traditional layer-by-layer constraints, fabricating complex millimeter-scale structures in just 0.6 seconds using holographic light fields.

Scientists found a candidate planet that is similar to Earth. This candidate planet is possibly rocky like Earth, and it likely takes about one year to complete a revolution around its star. But unlike Earth, the candidate planet is freezing cold — no higher than 90° Fahrenheit.

Deal | Humble Bundle has introduced a new bundle — Call of the Wild 9th Anniversary. This new bundle is packed with DLCs and expansions, with only a few games contained in it.

Researchers in China have developed a fully photonic processor capable of running large-scale AI models at speeds and efficiencies orders of magnitude beyond traditional silicon hardware.

Concordia researchers have unveiled "proximal sound printing," a 10× more precise acoustic 3D-printing technique that could revolutionize medical sensors and soft robotics.

Hubble provided the clearest image yet of the youngest and closest pre-planetary nebula ever discovered. It is called the Egg Nebula. Hubble’s image is providing more insight into understanding the late stages of a star’s life.

A team of researchers in China has developed a new class of chips called "FLEXI" which combines high-durability silicon with on-device AI to enable sub-dollar, medical-grade health monitoring.

A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has addressed the limitations of solid-state refrigerants by integrating cooling and heat transfer into a single fluid, offering a potential solution for cooling data centers and homes.

A new "hot-wire" laser technique allows for the additive manufacturing of industrial-grade cemented carbides, significantly reducing waste and cost.

Webb found the earliest and most distant galaxy ever observed — MoM-z14. In this observation, Webb is seeing the galaxy as it was 280 million years after the Big Bang. The observation is reshaping our understanding of what our universe looked like in its early years.

Deal | New publisher sale has seen the hit strategy game XCOM 2, return to its lowest price on Steam — dropping to $2.99 is a 95% discount sale. This deal will expire on February 19, 2026.

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) have developed a new system called Stable Video Infinity (SVI) to tackle the drifting in video generation models.

Lifting off from the Gobi Desert on Saturday, China's classified reusable spaceplane aims to verify new technologies, continuing a program seen as a direct rival to the X-37B operated by the U.S. Space Force.

Researchers have developed a highly stable organic molecule that can store twice as much energy as conventional alternatives, potentially revolutionizing how we store wind and solar power for months at a time.
