Dramatic plumes, both large and small, spray water ice out from many locations along the famed tiger stripes near the south pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus in this image released on Feb. 23, 2010. A study published in October 2025 analyzed data from NASA’s Cassini mission and found evidence of previously undetected organic compounds in a plume of ice particles like the ones seen here. The ice particles were ejected from the ocean that lies under Enceladus’ frozen shell. Researchers spotted not only molecules they’ve found before but also new ones that lay a potential path to chemical or biochemical activity.…

As far as Black Friday deals go, this is the best I’ve seen so far. Apple’s excellent AirPods (4th generation) are on sale for $70 right now, down from their regular price of $130. The version of the wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling are also discounted (they’re on sale for $110, down from $179), but the AirPods 4’s ANC isn’t that great because the earbuds don’t feature an in-ear design, so you aren’t missing much by buying the cheaper earbuds. In fact, I barely notice ANC when I turn it on with the AirPods 4 with ANC — it’s…

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new reinforcement learning (RL) framework that helps train large language models (LLMs) for complex agentic tasks beyond well-defined problems such as math and coding. Their framework, Agent-R1, is compatible with popular RL algorithms and shows considerable improvement on reasoning tasks that require multiple retrieval stages and multi-turn interactions with tools. The framework is built on a redefinition of the RL paradigm that takes into account the dynamic nature of agentic applications that require interacting with evolving environments and imperfect information. This framing is much more similar to real-world applications…

You might think a honey bee foraging in your garden and a browser window running ChatGPT have nothing in common. But recent scientific research has been seriously considering the possibility that either, or both, might be conscious.There are many different ways of studying consciousness. One of the most common is to measure how an animal—or artificial intelligence—acts.But two new papers on the possibility of consciousness in animals and AI suggest new theories for how to test this—one that strikes a middle ground between sensationalism and knee-jerk skepticism about whether humans are the only conscious beings on Earth.A Fierce DebateQuestions around…

The Walking Dead may be the ultimate post-apocalyptic franchise: the original show, about survivors trying to unite after a zombie plague destroys civilization, ran for 11 seasons, and that’s without counting the numerous spinoffs. A great many characters die brutally in that span, and they were just as likely to be killed by their fellow human beings as by the undead. It was a very grim show. But that doesn’t mean it has no competition. There are actually a ton of shows set after the end of the world, and they all tend to be pretty gritty, for obvious reasons;…

Agent memory remains a problem that enterprises want to fix, as agents forget some instructions or conversations the longer they run. Anthropic believes it has solved this issue for its Claude Agent SDK, developing a two-fold solution that allows an agent to work across different context windows.“The core challenge of long-running agents is that they must work in discrete sessions, and each new session begins with no memory of what came before,” Anthropic wrote in a blog post. “Because context windows are limited, and because most complex projects cannot be completed within a single window, agents need a way to bridge…
