Thirty-five years ago, a movie called Robot Jox hit the screens. It was not a big hit, but it was not completely bad either. The story is set in a future where wars are illegal, and instead, giant robots fight to settle disputes. This might sound exciting, but the movie did not deliver on its promise. The robots are big and clunky, and the fights are not as fun as th...

The top schools make billions from TV deals, tickets, and sponsors. But they spend it all on things ...

The pictures show the hydrogen cloud around the comet, but there's more to the story than what NASA said. The hydrogen cloud around 3I/ATLAS isn't acting like a typical comet.

The chances of a December interest rate cut by the U. S. Federal Reserve are looking shaky. Right now, less than half of the investors think it's going to happen. This drop in confidence is making waves in the crypto market, which is already feeling the heat. Just a few weeks ago, the odds were much better, with nearly 67% betting on a cut. But things change fast. B...
