Antares Nuclear Mark-0 Microreactor Achieves Criticality at Idaho National Lab
The initiative is intended to help jump-start the US nuclear sector, which largely stagnated after the 1970s due to shifting public opinion, political pressure, and increasingly stringent regulations that prioritized safety above all else. The result was an approval process so complex and costly that it was almost impossible to navigate without going bankrupt. Launched in 2025, the Reactor Pilot Program seeks to fast-track a new generation of reactors by using the DOE's independent safety authorization and oversight process at federal laboratory sites rather than the standard Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) commercial licensing pathway for early-stage technology validation.

Microsoft Announce Majorana 2 Quantum Chip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inreqB1J-z4
I still believe that Quantum Computing is not very practical. It reportedly has limited use cases and it is very difficult and expensive to implement.
However, I suppose that it is possible that if they keep working at it, the technology could eventually be very powerful, but I think that it is going to be a long wait.

100 Year old Lobster!
In jurisdictions like Maine, harvesters are required by law to throw back both undersized and oversized lobsters. The large lobsters are more fertile and help sustain the population. Also, the meat is tougher.

For everyone else wondering: No the lobster is not dead, he's just old as hell and when you're old moving is hard but he is alive. His eyes legs and even antennae move in this video he is alive.

fun fact: when lobsters get this old they don’t die of “old age” like humans do, their telomeres don’t wear down like humans so they can’t age to death. instead they get so massive (like this distinguished gentleman) that when they molt out of their shell it gets progressively more and more difficult, until they die in the process. that’s why he said he probably has only a couple years left, he’s reaching the limit of manageable size
