"I can look at an object in the world around me, but I can also close my eyes and imagine the object," says Varun Wadia, highlighting the dual capability of visual perception and imagination.

The South Pole Observatory peers into the vastness of the Universe to address one of its most compelling questions: what happened immediately after the Big Bang? Exploiting uniquely favorable observing conditions, its instruments measure the cosmic microwave background with exceptional precision, placing stringent constraints on early-Universe physics.

JAXA's analysis indicated that the manufacturing process for a component holding the satellite payload was flawed, primarily due to unexpected high temperatures that weakened the adhesive used.

Inertia Enterprises burst onto the scene in February with a $450 million Series A, making it one of the best capitalized startups in the industry, aiming to bring laser-based fusion reactors to market.
