As the days went on, the situation became worse and worse. Hurricane …

Our corner of the universe looks tidy at first glance. But pull back, and patterns begin to surface that stretch across billions of light-years. New mapping work hints that our own galaxy belongs to a much larger basin shaped by gravity, while a separate find reveals a vast, ring-like arrangement of distant galaxies. The work was led by …

Tech giant Microsoft (MSFT) may have just the solution, with a new connection with Samsung (SSNLF). Microsoft’s Copilot is now available on some Samsung devices, and could really …
