In May 2021, a team of astronomers made an exceedingly rare discovery: an extremely high-energy cosmic ray beaming from outer space — which confusingly came from nowhere in particular. "When I first discovered this ultra-high-energy cosmic ray, I thought there must have been a mistake, as it showed an energy level unprecedented in the last […]

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious pulsar that has been stripping material from its companion star for decades, launching the stolen matter into the cosmos like "cosmic cannonballs." Pulsars are highly magnetized remains of dead stars that release electromagnetic pulses at surprisingly regular intervals. But a pulsar called PSR J1023+0038, which is roughly 4,500 light-years away […]

AI-AI-I/O Google employees reportedly played a drinking game during the company's I/O developer conference last week, mocking just how many times its executives mentioned artificial intelligence. As seen in a TikTok mega cut put together by The Verge, Googlers must've gotten absolutely hammered that day, with CEO Sundar Pichai saying the letters "AI" a dizzying […]
