This Sunday, 7 September, Europe will witness a blood moon—a total lunar eclipse visible across many regions, lasting around 82 minutes, the longest since 2022.

A Walton Family Foundation and Gallup survey found six in ten teachers used AI tools during the 2024-2025 school year. On Tuesday, First Lady Melania Trump launched the Presidential AI Challenge. The initiative encourages…

Regulators Cite Unfair Advantage The European Commission has imposed a €2.95 billion fine on Google, finding that the company misused its dominant role in digital advertising. Investigators said Google steered business toward its own ad exchange and publisher platforms, limiting competition and reducing options for advertisers and media organizations. 60-Day Window to Submit Remedies Brussels has instructed Google to present a corrective plan within 60 days. Authorities warned that insufficient proposals could lead to stricter interventions, including the possible separation of parts of Google’s advertising operations.

A new ultrasound “helmet” could provide a non-surgical alternative for treating Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions, including Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer’s, depression, chronic pain, and addiction. The device targets brain regions 1,000 times smaller than standard ultrasound and could replace deep brain stimulation (DBS), which requires electrodes to be implanted into the brain. The breakthrough system, detailed in Nature Communications, can hit areas 30 times smaller than previous ultrasound devices. The helmet, fitted with 256 sources and used inside an MRI scanner, was tested on seven volunteers, precisely directing ultrasound waves to a tiny region in the lateral geniculate nucleus…
