A defunct nuclear power plant will be revived to power Donald Trump's new half-trillion-dollar project to make America the world's artificial intelligence powerhouse. The state-owned utility Santee Cooper -- the largest power provider in South Carolina -- said Wednesday that it is seeking buyers to complete construction on a partially-built project that was abandoned in 2017. The VC Summer Nuclear Power Station, which houses two unfinished nuclear reactors, was scrapped following years of lengthy, costly delays and bankruptcy by its contractor, according to a company statement. But now, the utility is hoping tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft will be willing to finish the project, as they are seeking clean energy sources to fuel data centers for AI. 'We are seeing renewed interest in nuclear energy, fueled by advanced manufacturing investments, AI-driven data center demand, and the tech industry's zero-carbon targets,' said Santee Cooper President and CEO Jimmy Staton.

An interactive map of UFO sightings has revealed shockingly new reports of drones in New Jersey and other states, suggesting this bizarre mystery is still unfolding. The map, created by the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) tracking website Enigma Labs, shows hundreds of sightings logged as recently as January 7 in multiple Northeastern states. The mysterious drones along the East Coast appeared in November, with 22 people issuing reports to Enigma starting on the 20th. But that number dramatically increased to 347 by December 31. A drone ban was issued from December 18 to January 17, during which Enigma labs said the average number of reported sightings dropped by 43 percent.

Using a technology called facial age estimation, John Lewis' online store can now check whether shoppers are over 18 without needing to see their ID.

The days of getting your driving licence out to prove your age could soon be a thing of the past. The UK government has confirmed that a digital version is being launched this year. A new app will be unveiled this summer, which will include a'wallet' to store digital versions of official documents. This will begin with a veteran's card, followed by a pilot of driving licences. The wallet will make use of security features already built into modern smartphones – such as facial recognition – for protection.

A popular, sexy AI agent is set to receive a robotic body that becomes a'productivity partner' for lonely men in the real world. The AI creation, called ElizaOS, is designed as a young woman with long black hair, dark-rimmed glasses, pouty lips and large breasts, which will be recreated into a five-foot, 10-inch tall humanoid. Created by Eliza Labs, the AI-powered robot Eliza Wakes Up will feature a silicon animatronic face capable of mirroring human emotions and expressions. The company claims Eliza can also cut a cigar and pour a drink and will come with custom-tailored clothes and optional accessories. While Eliza Labs says the robot was not designed for sex, the company is developing an artificial vagina for the AI version.

Apple has pulled a new iPhone feature released just three months ago after users slammed it for spreading misinformation. The tech giant removed its AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps after the system falsely reported a news article. The summary of the BBC article suggested that Luigi Mangione, 26, the alleged assassin of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, had shot himself. It read: 'Luigi Mangione shoots himself; Syrian mother hopes Assad pays the price; South Korea police raid Yoon Suk Yeol's office,' in reference to three articles that had supposedly been published by the BBC. Mangione has been accused of shooting Brian Thompson, 50, at point-blank range as he was walking to a Manhattan hotel where his company was holding an investor conference on December 4. He is currently being held in a Brooklyn federal jail.

One of NASA's stranded astronauts has finally left the International Space Station (ISS) after being stuck inside for eight months - but she's not headed home. Sunita Williams had a much-needed change of scenery Thursday during her first spacewalk since arriving on the ISS on June 6. Williams, the station's commander, had to tackle some overdue outdoor repair work alongside NASA's Nick Hague. The pair emerged as the orbiting lab sailed 260 miles above Turkmenistan in Central Asia. The spacewalk is expected to take six and a half hours, concluding at around 1pm ET.

On a long-haul flight, there's nothing worse than being sat next to a chatty stranger. But songbirds don't seem to mind, as a new study suggests they are likely to'talk' to other species as they migrate. Last year, a team of scientists discovered that birds seem to'buddy up' with other species at stopover sites during migration, but there was no evidence that different species pair up or communicate vocally on the wing. But now it's been found that the birds may even chat to gather important information about the journey they are on. For their new study the researchers, from the University of Illinois, analysed more than 18,000 hours of recorded flight calls made over three years in eastern North America.
