What is the correct pasteurization temperature for beverages?

There is no single correct pasteurization temperature for all beverages. The required temperature depends on factors such as pH level, sugar content, alcohol percentage, carbonation, and desired shelf life. Effective pasteurization balances microbial reduction with product qualit

Tesla Removes Autosteer From All Model 3 And Model Y Trims

Tesla has removed Autosteer from all Model 3 and Model Y trims in the U.S., pushing buyers toward a $99 per month Full Self-Driving subscription. The move eliminates lane-centering from the Autopilot package, a feature now only available in the higher-end trims of Model S and Model X. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has hinted that the cost of Full Self-Driving will increase as its capabilities improve.

US turns gold mine into giant fridge to study ghost-like neutrinos

In a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are constructing massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The experiment aims to study neutrinos with high precision and detect those from astrophysical sources like the sun or a nearby supernova. The detectors will be shielded from cosmic rays by being placed underground, allowing for a clearer signal of neutrinos, the first particles emitted by the Big Bang.

SpaceX lowering the orbits of more than 4,000 Starlink Satellites

SpaceX plans to lower the orbits of approximately 4,400 Starlink satellites from 342 miles to 298 miles above Earth by 2026. This move aims to reduce the threat to other spacecraft and lower the risk of space debris by decreasing the ballistic decay time during solar minimum. This action is part of SpaceX's commitment to improving space safety and managing the increasing congestion in low Earth orbit.

Boston Dynamics unveils production-ready version of Atlas robot at CES 2026

Boston Dynamics has unveiled the production-ready version of its Atlas robot at CES 2026, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey. This final version of Atlas is designed for industrial tasks, offering capabilities such as autonomous operation, teleoperation, and tablet steering. With a reach of up to 7.5 feet, the ability to lift 110 pounds, and durability in extreme temperatures, Atlas is set to revolutionize industrial work. Hyundai and Google DeepMind will be the first to deploy Atlas, with Hyundai planning to use it in car plants starting in 2028 and Google DeepMind integrating its AI models into the robot's system.

NASA had 3 years to fix fuel leaks on its Artemis moon rocket. Why are they still happening?

NASA halted a critical fueling test for its Artemis 2 rocket due to persistent hydrogen leaks, echoing issues from the Artemis 1 mission. Despite significant progress in fueling both SLS stages, the test was aborted at T-5 minutes 15 seconds due to a hydrogen leak spike. NASA officials believe the leaks may be due to vibrations during the rocket's rollout to the launch pad. The Artemis 2 launch is now targeted for March, with mission managers aiming to address the hydrogen leak issue at the launch pad.
