NASA wants to go deeper into Uranus.
The proposed mission is literally called the Uranus Orbiter and Probe, which feels less like a space program and more like a sentence everyone in the room was too professional to laugh at.
The plan is to send an orbiter around Uranus, then drop a probe into the atmosphere to measure gases, temperature, pressure, and winds (which is what all guys say before going to Uranus).
This is only Uranus’s second visit, so NASA promises to be gentle this time. The first time was apparently on NASA’s birthday.
Voyager 2 was in 1986, when it flew by, slipped in the back way without permission and left before breakfast.
NASA is now eyeing the early 2030s, as it feels Uranus has had enough time to recover.
The final date is not confirmed, but the mission is real, the probe is real, and somewhere at NASA, a very serious scientist has to say “deeper into Uranus” without making eye contact.
🚨 MIT SCIENTISTS JUST SHRANK A MATERIAL TO 1/2000TH ITS ORIGINAL SIZE
…and turned it into a machine that can manipulate light itself.
Using a new process called “implosion carving,” researchers create microscopic voids inside a material…
then collapse the entire structure down to nanoscale precision.
The result?
3D photonic structures smaller than the wavelength of visible light.
That means they can bend, guide, and compute using light itself instead of electricity.
Why this matters:
• Could accelerate optical computing
• May drastically reduce energy use in future AI systems
• Enables programmable nanostructures in 3D
• Pushes manufacturing toward atom-scale engineering
• Opens the door to entirely new classes of quantum and photonic devices
The wild part is HOW they do it.
Instead of building tiny structures directly…
they build larger ones first…
then “implode” them into nanoscale machines.
It’s almost like compressing an entire factory into a speck of dust.
We are entering the era where matter itself becomes programmable.

BREAKING: Under the direction of President Trump, the Acting Attorney General has immediately reclassified FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.
The order signed by Todd Blanche does not legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use under U.S. law. But it does change the way it's regulated to a less strictly regulated classification.
It also gives licensed medical marijuana operators a major tax break and eases some barriers to researching cannabis.
Lots of words but why did you pick the king James Bible and not literally any other version? See I had to stop reading at that point because you need to not read the word literally but instead read it literately. Huge difference and one requires you to go back to the original texts.
