U.K. pharmaceutical giant GSK on Tuesday struck a $10.6 billion deal to buy U.S.-listed biotech company Nuvalent, its biggest acquisition in eight years as it seeks to bolster the cancer portfolio it had previously trimmed.
On the night of January 20, 2018, an amateur radio operator and electrical engineer named Scott Tilley sat in his backyard observatory in Roberts Creek, British Columbia, sweeping a software-defined radio across the S-band looking for a classified American spy satellite called Zuma. He never found Zuma. Instead, his receiver locked onto a steady carrier wave at 2275.905 MHz — a signal NASA had not heard in more than twelve years, broadcast by a spacecraft the agency had officially given up on in 2005. The transmitter was IMAGE, a magnetospheric observatory the size of a kitchen island, and it was…
A federal judge on Monday threw out (PDF File) the Trump administration’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions, ruling that the charge was an illegal tax the president had no power to impose.Trump’s proclamation was set to expire after 12 months unless renewed, but the court’s ruling ends it now.

When Doug Wheelock came home from the International Space Station in November 2010, the first thing that startled him was not a meal, a shower, or a bed. It was the smell of Earth. ABC News later asked Wheelock about returning from orbit, and he described the thing he had missed in the plainest possible terms: “I craved the aroma of leaves and grass and flowers and trees.” He called it “Earthiness.” That matters because Wheelock’s long station flight had not lasted 178 days, as the common shorthand sometimes implies. NASA’s own mission record says Expedition 24/25 kept him in…

Critics say that setting up orbital data centers is easier said than done. But Musk argues that it’s not a “super hard problem” to solve.
Grace Hopper kept a bundle of wires, each one cut to exactly 11.8 inches. She handed them out at lectures, in Navy briefings, and to anyone who asked why the new satellite links felt sluggish. The wire, she explained, was a nanosecond. That was how far light could travel in one billionth of a second, and no amount of engineering or budget would ever shrink it. She called them her “nanoseconds.” By the end of her career she had given them out at hundreds of talks across the country. The bit became one of the most famous demonstrations in computing…
Most investors who pile into the S&P 500 in 2026 think they own the entire stock market. What they actually own is nothing more than a heavy bet on Big Tech — and right now, that bet has run its course.
High-yield savings account rates have held steady, with some banks even increasing their rates, to start June.As of June 8, 2026, some online banks are still offering interest rates up to 5.00% APY, but these top APYs are usually limited by deposit size. This is still much better than the average of 0.38% APY, according to the FDIC.Banks and credit unions are constantly adjusting their annual percentage yields (APYs) as markets react to Federal Reserve policy and inflation data, so staying up to date can make a real difference. Here’s where the best savings rates stand today — and what…
