NASA plans daring robotic rescue mission to prevent an aging space telescope from falling back to Earth, and the legendary Hubble could be next

NASA is making a high-stakes bet on a commercial startup, Katalyst Space Technologies, to prevent one of its key scientific instruments, the Swift Observatory, from plummeting back to Earth. A robotic spacecraft called Link, built by Katalyst, is set to launch as early as this week on a daring mission to boost the aging telescope into a safer, higher orbit, marking a critical first for American robotic satellite rescue. This unprecedented effort aims to extend Swift's vital work in studying cosmic explosions, while also setting the stage for similar interventions, potentially even for the iconic Hubble Space Telescope.

New paediatric cardiac surgery technique to speed up recovery

Slovenia's main medical center, the University Medical Centre Ljubljana, is now using a special, less-invasive way to fix heart problems in children. This new approach means smaller cuts, less pain, and much faster recovery for young patients with certain heart defects. It's a big step away from traditional open-heart surgery, letting children get back to their normal lives quicker.

The human eye may hold the fix for self-driving cars

Researchers at Penn State have unveiled a groundbreaking artificial vision system, inspired by the human eye, that could finally solve a major hurdle for self-driving cars: safely navigating tricky, mixed lighting conditions. This new technology uses tiny electronic components called photomemristors, which can adapt to rapid light changes in seconds—far faster than human eyes—and improve how autonomous vehicles see in complex environments like driving at night with harsh headlight glare or moving through tunnels.

Jupiter-sized giant planets but lighter than cotton candy: Researchers at Oxford and Birmingham universit - The Times of India

Astronomers have just unveiled the discovery of two extraordinary 'super-puff' exoplanets, TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, which are roughly the size of Jupiter but astonishingly lighter than cotton candy. This groundbreaking finding by an international team, including researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Birmingham, challenges our understanding of how planets form and evolve across the cosmos. These twin giants are among the fluffiest ever found, with densities dozens of times less than Jupiter's.

'Not doing enough': tougher social ban law for big tech

Australia is doubling down on big tech, announcing significantly tougher laws and penalties to enforce its world-first ban on social media for children under 16, citing widespread non-compliance. Maximum fines for systematic breaches will rocket from A$49.5 million to a hefty A$99 million, pushing social media giants to confront their perceived failure in protecting young users. This move comes just six months after the initial ban, revealing the government's frustration with platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube, which are already under investigation for potential violations.

New blood test detects aggressive prostate cancer more accurately than PSA, study finds

A new blood test, Stockholm3, is showing a significant leap forward in detecting aggressive prostate cancer, outperforming the long-standing PSA test. Recent research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, led by scientists at Karolinska Institutet, reveals that Stockholm3 identified 90% of clinically significant prostate cancer cases, a marked improvement over the PSA test's 74% detection rate. This breakthrough could dramatically change how prostate cancer is screened, potentially saving lives by catching dangerous cancers earlier.

Like ma, can a machine ever truly say, ‘I am also yours’?

As artificial intelligence rapidly advances towards greater autonomy and the perception of sentience, acclaimed oncologist and author Siddhartha Mukherjee poses a profound question: Can a machine ever truly say, 'I am also yours'? This inquiry, inspired by his personal reflections on human connection, cuts to the heart of current debates as AI systems in June 2026 display increasingly sophisticated, human-like behaviors, pushing the boundaries of what we understand as intelligence and belonging.

Anthropic Receives Approval To Release Claude Mythos AI Model To Trusted Partners - NDTV

The US government has given Anthropic the green light to release its powerful Claude Mythos 5 AI model to over 100 'trusted partners', including major companies and government agencies, after a tense two-week standoff over national security concerns. This move partially reverses an earlier government order that had suspended global access to Mythos 5 due to fears its advanced cybersecurity capabilities could be misused by foreign adversaries.

Philosophy Majors Outpace Computer Science in U.S. Job Market in AI Era

In a surprising twist for the U.S. job market, philosophy majors are now experiencing lower unemployment rates than their computer science counterparts, with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reporting 5.1% for philosophers versus 7% for computer science graduates as of 2024. This unexpected shift is driven by a strong demand from leading AI firms like Anthropic and Google DeepMind, which are actively recruiting philosophers to tackle critical issues in AI reasoning, safety, and ethics. The era of purely technical AI development is giving way to a more human-centric approach, where ethical frameworks and nuanced understanding are paramount.

New study says comet 3I/ATLAS might be oldest interstellar visitor ever - Yahoo

Astronomers are buzzing after new studies, published on June 22, 2026, revealed that Comet 3I/ATLAS, a visitor from beyond our Solar System, might just be the oldest object ever seen in our cosmic neighborhood, possibly dating back 10 to 12 billion years. This makes the exocomet nearly three times older than our own Solar System, offering an unprecedented look into the very early universe. The crucial insights came from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which analyzed the comet's chemical makeup after its close pass by the Sun in late 2025.

Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya speaks about H-1B, says 'I am irrelevant' but Elon Musk came to US on th - The Times of India

Billionaire venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya recently didn't mince words on 'The Axios Show,' calling the current H-1B visa system 'grossly abused' and warning it's shutting out 'the next Elon Musk.' He highlighted how he and Elon Musk themselves entered the US on H-1B visas in the early 2000s when the program was less competitive, a stark contrast to today's landscape where 800,000 applications vie for just 20,000 slots. Palihapitiya's critique extends to tech giant Meta Platforms, which he claims 'completely fumbled' its early lead in Artificial Intelligence, allowing Nvidia to dominate the market.

Lower-inflammatory diet may help delay or reduce dementia risk - even in older people at risk of Alzheimer's

Groundbreaking new research from Sweden reveals it might never be too late to adopt a brain-healthy diet. A study published on June 25, 2026, in JAMA Network Open found that older adults already showing early biological signs of Alzheimer's disease significantly cut their risk of developing full-blown dementia by sticking to a lower-inflammatory diet. This is a massive leap forward, suggesting that even with pre-existing risks, dietary changes can offer a crucial shield against cognitive decline.
