Move affects ~20% of the gaming division, which will refocus on its biggest franchises. Last month, Xbox executives laid out some “hard truths” about Microsoft’s struggling gaming division that they said would require a difficult “Xbox reset.” This morning, Microsoft revealed the brutal shape of that “reset,” announcing plans…
Sometimes races finish behind a safety car, but it’s not always satisfying. Formula 1 returned to what is a home race for most of the teams on the grid this past weekend with the British Grand Prix. Yet again this season, we saw the fastest car not win the…

This hybrid V8 has organic-looking 3D-printed components and shatters lap records.

Biology could explain the find, but there are other potential explanations. NASA’s Perseverance rover has spent five years traversing Jezero Crater looking for the chemical leftovers of whatever processes were at work on Mars billions of years ago. The rover has found organic carbon, but it has mostly been…
NASA awarded Rocket Lab deals for three dedicated launches using the company’s Electron rocket. Welcome to Edition 9.01 of the Rocket Report! Back in January, I wrote about the 20 launches and landings we were most excited about in 2026. The list included things that were, at the time,…
