So what if there were a tool that could rely on AI to analyze what you’ve actually got in your fridge and pantry—and then offer up fluff-free, instant recipes catered specifically to your tastes?

President Biden’s budget request for 2024 severely reduced funding for the mission, putting it in a “deep freeze.” Today, though, the space agency is once again all systems go for an exploration of one of earth’s closest neighbors.
The VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) mission is back on the schedule, with only a slight delay, the resul
When you’re the CEO of a multibillion-dollar corporation, your words have weight. As Apple chief executive Tim Cook just found out, they can also have a price—$61 million per word, to be exact.
