A new technology could dramatically reduce the energy AI needs to move and store data. 🤖⚡

Researchers have developed an experimental memory approach designed to make AI data processing far more energy-efficient.

In theory, the technology could reduce memory-related energy consumption by thousands of times compared with conventional approaches.

But there's a catch:

This is still research-stage technology.

It isn't powering commercial AI systems today, and the “thousands of times” figure represents future potential rather than a demonstrated commercial improvement.

If researchers can scale the technology, it could help make future AI systems dramatically more energy-efficient.

NASA satellite observations are revealing the scale of Europe's ongoing heat waves. 🌍🔥

Parts of Europe have experienced exceptionally high temperatures during 2026, with prolonged heat affecting millions of people across multiple countries.

Scientists use satellite data to track land temperatures, atmospheric conditions and the broader impacts of extreme heat events.

As heat waves become more frequent and intense, space-based observations are helping researchers monitor conditions in near real time.

NASA just showed us a cosmic “chandelier” made of ancient stars. ✨🌌

The Chandelier Cluster is a spectacular group of stars located thousands of light-years from Earth, forming a striking pattern across the night sky.

Many of these stars are far older than our Sun, giving astronomers a window into how stellar populations evolve over time.

A beautiful reminder that the Milky Way is packed with structures hiding in plain sight.

This star is orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. 🌌⭐

Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day features a time-lapse of four years of observations tracking S301 around Sagittarius A*.

The star completes an orbit in about 8.7 years and can reach roughly 25,000 km/s, or about 56 million mph.

Because S301 gets extremely close to Sagittarius A*, astronomers may be able to use its orbit to study the black hole's spin and test Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Two of Saturn's moons are putting on an unusual show tonight. 🌙🪐

Titan appears close to Saturn, while Dione passes behind the planet from our point of view.

The Dione occultation is a telescope event, giving skywatchers a chance to watch the moon disappear behind Saturn's disk.

SpaceX just launched 29 more Starlink satellites from Florida. 🚀🛰️

The Falcon 9 first-stage booster also nailed another landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic.

Another launch. Another booster recovered.

That's the SpaceX model in action.

The new space race isn't just about reaching the Moon. It's about building a foothold there. 🌕🚀

NASA is developing a phased plan for a long-term lunar presence, starting with robotic missions and infrastructure around the Moon's South Pole.

And this month, NASA invited India's ISRO to join its Moon Base program.

China is also pushing ahead with its own long-term lunar ambitions.

The next big question may not be:

“Who gets to the Moon first?”

It could be:

“Who can stay there the longest?”

NASA just found a way to keep Voyager 2 doing science for at least another year. 🛰️

Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now 49 years old and more than 13 billion miles from Earth.

Its nuclear power source loses about 4 watts every year, so engineers are shutting down or replacing power-hungry systems to protect the remaining science instruments.

The latest “Big Bang” power-saving move should keep three instruments operating for at least another year.

Nearly five decades later, Voyager 2 is still sending science back from interstellar space.
