This week, the UK’s debt burden and weak growth are reviving fears that financial markets could once again destabilize British politics and policy. And, investors see data centers as long-term infrastructure, but neighbors worry about noise, water use, power demand and lasting costs. Plus, is Poland…
A mysterious particle from deep space has scientists buzzing after the most energetic neutrino ever detected slammed through the Mediterranean Sea. Now, researchers think they may have identified the cosmic “culprits” behind it: blazars — supermassive black holes blasting jets of matter straight tow…
A new AI-powered chip from UC Davis can analyze light and chemicals using a device tiny enough to fit almost anywhere. By combining smart silicon sensors with machine learning, it achieves lab-style spectral analysis without the bulky equipment.
One of the most bitter feuds in distressed-debt investing, between billionaire Patrick Drahi and some of the world’s biggest investors, has suddenly gotten even more contentious.
Andrew Left, one of the world’s most prominent short sellers, was found guilty of securities fraud by a federal jury after a landmark trial that scrutinized his use of social media to move the price of stocks.
Elliott Investment Management LP has built a large stake in Northern Star Resources Ltd. and is pushing for a strategic review and leadership changes at the Australian mining company.
Oil steadied after its biggest gain in about a month, as uncertainty about the state of US-Iran peace talks raised the risk that energy flows from the Persian Gulf could be curtailed for longer.
Australia’s winter wheat crop is forecast to fall by more than a quarter in the 2026/27 season due to unusually dry weather, low global prices and higher input costs resulting from the war in the Middle East.
Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding of stars, black holes, neutron star collisions, and dangerous solar eruptions.
Wall Street may be creating the first market for AI compute. Silicon Data CEO Carmen Li joins Bloomberg Open Interest to explain why AI futures could become as important as oil futures, how companies will hedge higher GPU costs, and why AI token prices are still rising despite more efficient models.…
A massive global analysis found that nitrogen pollution can either speed up or dramatically slow the natural "breathing" of forest soils, depending on the ecosystem's condition. The results reveal hidden tipping points that could affect how forests store carbon and cope with climate change.
Oil industry experts have told OPEC+ that supply disruption caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz will persist to the end of the year, even if the waterway reopens promptly.
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it will award more than $8 million to five whistleblowers who provided information that helped agency investigators recover funds for defrauded investors.
Kristina Peterson, Bloomberg reporter covering food, says that consumer demand for additional protein in the US has increased so much that companies are facing supply shortages in whey protein. Manufacturers are racing to source other supply lines or are forced to reformulate recipes. (Source: Bloo…
Surging memory costs are pushing action-camera maker GoPro Inc. to the brink. The company, founded by Nicholas Woodman, warned of risks to its ability to continue as a going concern and is seeking financing to avert a default, according to a latest filing.
For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer’s touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note — and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano key movements at 1,000 frames per second, researchers…
US spot petrochemical prices softened across the board last week as export demand for the plastics building blocks appears to weaken for the month of June.
Bank of Canada Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers cautioned against concluding the country is in a recession after recent data showed the economy contracted for a second consecutive quarter.
Scientists have created a tiny chip that can generate, steer, and read light-based information all in one device, marking a major leap toward ultra-fast, energy-efficient computing. The breakthrough uses atomically thin materials and nanoscale structures to control a unique quantum property of light called the “valley” degree of freedom, allowing information to be encoded in new ways.
Shares of FedEx Corp.’s former freight division fell on Monday in their first day of trading as an independent, publicly held company.
