In the ongoing fight against HIV, scientists have taken a new step toward long-term control of the virus. Researchers have found a way to force HIV into a deep, long-lasting sleep by using a molecule produced by the virus itself. This discovery could lead to future gene therapies that might remove the need for daily antiviral drugs and stop the virus from ever waking up again. For decades, the biggest challenge in curing HIV has been its ability to hide. After someone gets infected, the virus places copies of its genetic material inside certain immune cells. These infected cells become what scientists call a “latent reservoir.” The virus in these reservoirs doesn’t multiply, so it escapes detection by...

President Donald Trump plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from South Korea and Japan. The levy will go into effect on August 1st, which is when the Trump administration will begin enforcing sweeping tariffs on a wider swath of countries that fail to reach a trade agreement with the US. The US was set to begin imposing its “Liberation Day” tariffs on countries around the world on April 2nd, but Trump extended the deadline by 90 days, which is coming up on July 9th. But now, it seems that the deadline will be pushed further, as Trump begins sending out tariff-related letters to several countries, starting with South Korea and Japan. In a pair of posts on Truth Social, Trump shared nearly...

One thing that has been missing from Bluesky until now was the ability to turn on notifications for specific accounts, but now Activity Notifications are live. If you want to know every time The Verge or ESPN, or one of your friends posts, you can, just by toggling the bell icon on their profile page, along with an option to see notifications for just new posts or with replies included too. It’s the kind of feature I’ve gotten used to on other platforms, especially Twitter, where news breakers have been able to keep their audiences updated from minute to minute, making it easier to follow interesting topics or developing stories. That goes double for sports, and Bluesky has called growing its presence in...

People hold signs as they gather in a protest outside a Tesla dealership in Lisbon against Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on March 9th, 2025. | Photo: AFP via Getty Images Tesla used to be the envy of the auto world, with sky-high valuations, a relentless focus on tech, and a CEO that commanded unprecedented loyalty from his customers. Now the company's reputation is in shambles, its financial future looks increasingly grim, and its costly bets on AI and robotics are unlikely to pay off anytime soon. Weirdly, CEO Elon Musk has only just "woken up" to the mounting crisis on his doorstep. That's according to an unnamed "former Tesla executive," who told the Financial Times that Musk has only just now come to...

Last September, after successfully suing Google for running an illegal app store monopoly, Epic Games sued Samsung, too - alleging the phonemaker of illegally conspiring with Google to undermine third-party app stores. An "Auto Blocker" feature on Samsung Android phones, which was turned on by default, automatically kept users from installing apps from stores that haven't been authorized by Samsung, such as Epic's mobile store.
Now, two days before Samsung is due to announce new phones at its Samsung Unpacked event, Epic has dropped all its claims against Samsung, saying it's reached a settlement. Epic isn't providing any details, though. …

Photography is great, but sometimes it can get boring just reusing the same wavelengths over and over again. There are other options, though and when [Malcolm Wilson] decided he wanted to explore them, he decided to build a (near) IR camera. 
The IR images are almost ethereal.Image : Malcom Wilson.
The housing is an old Yashica Electro 35 — apparently this model was prone to electrical issues, and there are a lot of broken camera bodies floating around– which hides a Pi NoIR Camera v3. That camera module, paired with an IR pass filter, makes for infrared photography like the old Yashica used to do with special film. The camera module is plugged into a Pi Zero 2 W, and it’s powered by a PiSugar battery....

Inside every muscle cell, there’s a clock. Not the kind that ticks on your wall or buzzes on your wrist, but a natural timekeeping system that helps your body stay in rhythm. This clock controls when muscle cells repair themselves, when they grow, and when they clear out broken proteins. According to a new study from King’s College London, messing with this clock — as shift workers often do — might speed up muscle aging and reduce your strength over time. Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the research reveals that your muscle clock helps protect against a condition called sarcopenia. That’s the gradual loss of muscle strength and size that comes with aging. And the...

Architect Jiri Lev, however, proposes that it can be done. With his second self-built home, Tasmanian House 3, the Czech-born Australian architect hopes to prove that a family can build a healthy, sustainable home for less than the cost of a typical deposit.   The modest home is clad in Weathertex panels made from 97% eucalyptus woodchips and 3% paraffin.

If you have any empathy at all for those of us in the journalistic profession, have some pity for the poor editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, who let through an AI-generated summer reading list made up of novels which didn’t exist.  The fake works all had real authors and thus looked plausible, thus we expect that librarians and booksellers throughout the paper’s distribution area were left scratching their heads as to why they’re not in the catalogue.

While other law enforcement agencies and rightsholders can’t be ruled out, those involved in pirate IPTV in the UK should be aware of four names in particular.

As the ultimate rightsholders of the country’s most popular football broadcasts available via Sky, the Premier League is also known for its anti-piracy operations. Likewise, the Federation Against Copyright Theft, a rights holder-funded anti-piracy group which can appear alongside any of the above at any time.

Scientists have made significant progress in understanding attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by identifying a key genetic mutation that sheds light on its causes. ADHD affects about 5% of children globally and roughly 2.5% of adults, according to the World Health Organization. Despite its prevalence, researchers have struggled for decades to pinpoint the exact biological factors behind this common condition. Now, researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Soroka-University Medical Center have uncovered an important genetic link: a mutation in the CDH2 gene. This gene helps create a protein called N-cadherin, essential for healthy brain function. N-cadherin supports the connections...
