We have already discovered more than 6,000 planets outside of our immediate neighborhood. Yet, finding a moon orbiting one of those distant worlds has proved considerably harder. Astronomers may finally have something close to the real deal, but this particular object stretches the word “moon” almost beyond recognition. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, researchers detected strong evidence for a moon-like object in the CD-35 2722 system. Further observations are still necessary to confirm the discovery, but it could become the first confidently detected natural satellite outside our solar system. There is still one tiny complication…

Scott Winters, a pastor from Florida, is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly gave him what his lawsuit calls “extremely dangerous” medical advice, advice that nearly cost him his life. What happened to the pastor? For weeks, Winters turned to ChatGPT with questions about recurring dizzy spells and unstable blood pressure. Instead of pointing him toward a doctor, the bot reassured him his symptoms weren’t serious enough to worry about and told him his “careful recliner-based micro-recovery” was working just fine. Winters followed that advice. But the calm reassurance was hiding a real emergency, a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots…

Scientists have been trying to figure out how kids pick up language so fast for decades, and a new study out of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) might have cracked part of the puzzle: curiosity. Researchers built a virtual robot with a brain-inspired neural network and set it loose in a simulated 3D world full of shapes, colors, and simple commands like “push left magenta dumbbell.” Some robots were rewarded only for completing tasks correctly. Others got an extra reward for curiosity, essentially getting a little internal high whenever they encountered something that challenged their existing understanding…

A good mouse doesn’t get nearly as much attention as a laptop, but it’s one of those upgrades that quietly makes a difference every single day. Whether it’s powering through assignments, editing photos, attending online classes, or squeezing in a few rounds of Valorant after lectures, the right mouse can make long hours at a desk far more comfortable. After looking through this year’s options, these are the five mice I’d actually recommend for the Back-to-School season. They each serve a different purpose, which means there’s something here whether gaming, productivity, or portability is the priority. Satechi Slim EX Wireless…
