Microsoft Hosts Developer Conference as Focus Grows on AI Profits
Microsoft has already spent $64 billion (roughly Rs. 5,46,718 crore) this year, much of it on data centers needed for AI-based services such as Copilot used in its popular Microsoft 365 applications. But there are signs that Microsoft is reworking its relationship with OpenAI and seeking to become a neutral arms dealer in the AI race.

New Study Sets Stronger Mass Limit on Ultralight Bosonic Dark Matter
A groundbreaking study has set a new lower bound on the mass of ultralight bosonic dark matter particles—2.2 × 10⁻²¹ eV. Using stellar motion data from the dwarf galaxy Leo II and advanced computational models, the team ruled out lighter masses that cannot form observed structures. This challenges the popular fuzzy dark matter theory and pav...
