The 2.3-magnitude quake struck near Sleepy Hollow, New York, at around 10.15am ET. The epicenter was located roughly 25 miles north of New York City and about 4.5 miles beneath the surface. Within minutes, more than 1,000 people reported feeling the shaking, with residents across Westchester County submitting reports to the US Geological Survey (USGS). New York City Emergency Management said in a statement: 'Earthquakes of this size are typically minor and rarely cause damage, but some people in nearby areas like the Bronx may have felt brief shaking.

Now, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has turned her attention to energy drinks, with the launch of a new beverage called Update. Unlike popular brands like Red Bull or Monster, Update is caffeine-free, and instead uses a chemical called paraxanthine. So, what is in the drink, and is it safe?


Ancient Andean parrot trade route stretched over 300 miles

Popular Science

The sophisticated network crossed mountains in Peru and pre-dates the Inca Empire. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Ancient parrots really got around. A new analysis of their DNA found that humans transported living Amazonian macaw parrots across the Andes mountains to coastal Peru hundreds of years before the Inca Empire. The findings are detailed in a study published today in the journal and reveal a highly sophisticated and long-distance bird trading network across deserts, highlands, and rainforests.


A meteor soared across Europe--and possibly hit a house

Popular Science

No one was injured at the home in Germany, but the ESA is investigating. The bright object traveled over at least five countries. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. The European Space Agency (ESA) is investigating a bright fireball that lit up the early evening sky across at least five countries on March 8th. At around 5:55 p.m. local time, residents across Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands spotted a glowing object soaring across the sky for an estimated six seconds before disintegrating into multiple fragments.

For centuries, the term has been used to describe the soft, curly hair forming the fleecy coat of sheep and other animals. It even features prominently in nursery rhymes such as'Baa Baa Black Sheep', sung by children across the UK. But the Oxford English Dictionary's definition must be modernised to include plant-powered varieties that'leave sheep in peace', campaigners say. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) argues that wool derived from linen, hemp and bamboo has existed for centuries.

Officials at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana revealed that an'unmanned aerial system' - better known as a remote-controlled drone - was spotted near the facility Monday morning. Since drones are strictly prohibited from flying near or over the base, the Air Force temporarily raised their Force Protection Condition (FPCON) level to'Charlie,' meaning a possible terrorist threat had been detected . Barksdale Air Force Base is home to the military's fleet of B-52 bombers, capable of delivering nuclear strikes around the world. Base officials noted that Monday's incident was still under investigation, and no details on where the mystery drone came from or if it was captured have emerged.


Building a strong data infrastructure for AI agent success

MIT Technology Review

As companies race to adopt agentic AI to spur innovation and gain efficiency, building the right enterprise data infrastructure has become a critical component of success. In the race to adopt and show value from AI, enterprises are moving faster than ever to deploy agentic AI as copilots, assistants, and autonomous task-runners. In late 2025, nearly two-thirds of companies were experimenting with AI agents, while 88% were using AI in at least one business function, up from 78% in 2024, according to McKinsey's annual AI report . Yet, while early pilots often succeed, only one in 10 companies actually scaled their AI agents. One major issue: AI agents are only as effective as the data foundation supporting them. Experts argue that most companies are seeing delays in implementing AI, not because of shortcomings in the models, but because they lack data architectures that deliver business context to be reliably used by humans and agents.


How Pokémon Go is giving delivery robots an inch-perfect view of the world

MIT Technology Review

Niantic's AI spinout is training a new world model using 30 billion images of urban landmarks crowdsourced from players. Pokémon Go was the world's first augmented-reality megahit. Released in 2016 by the Google spinout Niantic, the AR twist on the juggernaut Pokémon franchise fast became a global phenomenon. From Chicago to Oslo to Enoshima, players hit the streets in the urgent hope of catching a Jigglypuff or a Squirtle or (with a huge amount of luck) an ultra-rare Galarian Zapdos hovering just out of reach, superimposed on the everyday world. "Five hundred million people installed that app in 60 days," says Brian McClendon, CTO at Niantic Spatial, an AI company that Niantic spun out in May last year. According to the video-game firm Scopely, which bought Pokémon Go from Niantic at the same time, the game still drew more than 100 million players in 2024, eight years after it launched.


Scientists reveal controversial plan to launch 50,000 MIRRORS into space for 'sunlight on demand' - but sceptics warn it poses 'serious risks' to wildlife and humans

California-based startup, Reflect Orbital, is poised to secure permission to launch a 60-foot (18.3-metre) prototype mirror into orbit to beam sunlight back to the Earth's surface. Once it has reached an altitude of 400 miles (640 km), the mirror will unfurl and illuminate a patch of Earth about three miles (4.8 km) wide. Someone looking up from the ground would see a small dot of light about as bright as the moon. Reflect Orbital says its space mirrors could allow solar power plants to operate 24 hours a day, provide lighting for disaster-struck regions, and even replace street lights.


'I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff': professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI

The Guardian

'I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff': professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI Lea Pao, a professor of literature at Stanford University, has been experimenting with ways to get her students to learn offline. She has them memorize poems, perform at recitation events, look at art in the real world. It's an effort to reconnect them to the bodily experience of learning, she said, and to keep them from turning to artificial intelligence to do the work for them. "There's no AI-proof anything," Pao said. "Rather than policing it, I hope that their overall experiences in this class will show them that there's a way out."
