Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather and climate research center

The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder in December.RJ Sangosti/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post/Getty ImagesA leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released Thursday by the National Science Foundation.The move is part of the Trump administration’s effort to disassemble the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, one of the world’s top weather and climate research centers, which the admin views as a source of climate change alarmism.The computing center, which is slated to be turned over to an unspecified third party, runs weather and climate research models and is used by about 1,500 researchers from over 500 universities around the country. The work done on this supercomputer benefits the American people by leading to more accurate forecasts of extreme weather and climate events, aircraft...

The Rise of AI Tools in Everyday Life: From Home to Workplace

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to laboratories, research papers, or niche applications. In 2025, AI tools have become part of our everyday lives, shaping how we communicate, work, shop, travel, and even relax at home. The rise of accessible AI-powered apps, devices, and services means that nearly everyone now interacts with AI daily—often without realising it. 1. AI in the Smart Home From smart speakers to intelligent security systems, AI has made our homes more efficient, safer, and more comfortable. Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home now act as full-scale home managers, controlling lights, thermostats, and even appliances. AI-powered cameras identify family members versus intruders, sending alerts only when necessary. Energy-saving systems predict usage patterns to reduce electricity bills. In 2025, smart homes are no longer futuristic concepts—they are mainstream. 2. AI in Personal Finance Money management has become smarter...

In fact, spending too much time either sitting or standing was linked to a higher risk of problems such as varicose veins and feeling...

Research funding faces crunch time post-election

Technology tamfitronics The U.S. needs to “go big” on research and development in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies by overcoming budget caps and other spending concerns, according to the White House’s top science adviser.Arati Prabhakar, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said that given China’s technological rise and the potential of AI to be a disruptive force, increased R&D spending is necessary to keep America competitive.“American R&D does not thrive unless we have the federal component to lay this foundation of basic research, to educate the students that are going to feed into all of these industries,” Prabhakar said at an American Enterprise Institute event on Oct. 8.Boosting federal R&D spending isn’t going to be easy with concerns rising about budget deficits, regardless of...
