OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-5.2 Pro, has set a new record on a challenging suite of math problems. It solved previously unsolvable puzzles and boosted the overall success rate significantly. Yet, experts caution this is progress, not perfection.
A new AI supercomputing platform called STELLAR-AI is being developed to tackle the massive simulation bottlenecks in fusion energy research. By connecting computing power directly to experimental devices, it aims to transform research from a stop-start process into a continuous, adaptive workflow.
According to a former astronaut, the new lunar spacesuits for NASA’s Artemis missions are a major physical challenge. They’re heavier than Apollo-era suits and present serious mobility issues, turning Moonwalks into an “extreme physical event.”
Old School RuneScape is getting its fourth raid, The Fractured Archive, in late 2026. Described as the game’s toughest yet, it will be soloable but daunting. The announcement also included a new limited-time League and a community-voted cow boss.
According to Digital Trends, Joobie is an emotionally intelligent AI companion designed by Hugbibi. It uses multimodal sensors to detect a user’s state and develops a unique personality over time. The device is scheduled for an official launch in the first half of 2026 after debuting at CES 2026.
According to XDA-Developers, Windows Search has been fundamentally broken since the Windows 10 era, with slow, jumpy results that often open the wrong app or fail to find files. Microsoft continues to prioritize adding features like Copilot and web content over fixing the core search experience. Mea
Microsoft is investigating reports that its January 2026 security update for Windows 11 is causing some PCs to fail to boot with a “UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME” error. This is the third major issue stemming from this month’s problematic Patch Tuesday updates, forcing the company to consider yet another
Meta has laid off 10% of its Reality Labs division, cutting about 1,000 jobs focused on VR hardware and Horizon Worlds. The company is shifting investment toward AI and smart glasses, chilling the VR industry and sparking fears of a prolonged downturn.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are using a $28.5 million grant to develop a transplantable, 3D-printed liver patch. The goal is to create living tissue that can support a failing liver for 2-4 weeks, giving it time to regenerate and potentially reducing the need for full transplants.
Scientists have a clever workaround for quantum mechanics’ no-cloning theorem. They can make perfect copies of qubits, but only if the data is encrypted and can only be read once.
