Copilot, Microsoft’s generative AI chatbot, can do many things, but one of its best uses is as a researcher, for pretty much anything you want in business or personal use. If you’re looking for in-depth information, there’s a lot more you can do than type a simple request into Copilot’sContinue Reading

A coronal mass injection (CME) on the sun. (Image credit: ESA/NASA/Soho) A misbehaving coronal mass ejection (CME) that blew out a hidden cloud of charged particles aimed at Earth has been tracked by a record 17 spacecraft spread throughout the solar system, revealing the CME to be surprisingly lopsided. CMEs are “burps” from the sunContinue Reading

A decades-old bug on Ubuntu’s Launchpad marked as invalid at the weekend led to an impromptu reunion for many of Canonical’s former engineers. Bug #1589796 was filed in 2016 by a user who’d spent £700 on Ubuntu phone and tablet hardware but, on visiting the official website, found no documentationContinue Reading
The Airbus A350 cost roughly $15 billion to develop, compared to around $30–32 billion for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This gap of about 50% reflects the development strategy rather than aircraft value. Based on industry program data and manufacturer disclosures, much of this difference comes from the 787’s well-documented delays,Continue Reading
Our reporting was updated on Sunday, August 23, to include late developments regarding the timeline for other US airlines’ possible implementation of the order, and the discussion of which carriers have been known to offer a pre-departure beverage service. This report was originally published on Saturday, August 22.Continue Reading
The Europe battery market is experiencing robust growth, driven primarily by the surging adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources, and stringent EU environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The market size was valued at USD 38.1 Billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 70.3 Billion byContinue Reading
While cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries such as manganese-coated nickel core batteries have emerged as a potential method to increase EV driving range while reducing dependence on expensive critical minerals, research suggests that exposing precursor material to air can cause subtle chemical changes that later accelerate battery degradation. A study atContinue Reading
This week, MrWilson takes both top spots on the insightful side. In first place, it’s a comment about opportunistic ICE arrests: ICE keeps trying to find more victims to prove the false narrative of how many undocumented immigrants there are in the country, so individual agents probably want to makeContinue Reading
