Artificial intelligence is helping scientists to identify minerals within rocks studied by the Perseverance rover. NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars employs advanced AI technologies, such as adaptive sampling with the PIXL instrument, to autonomously analyze rock compositions in search of potential signs of ancient microbial life.

Surf's up for the 2024 Olympics. And while the vast majority of events will take place on the French mainland, there's one sport that will have a special site of its own, nearly 10,000 miles away: surfing. The village of Teahupo'o on the tropical island of Tahiti will serve as the location for this year's competition. Tahiti is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is part of French Polynesia, an autonomous overseas country of the French Republic. This is the second time surfing will make an appearance, following its debut at the Tokyo Games in 2021.   Here's everything you need...

Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi is known for his theatrics when competing. Most recently, he showed up to the European Athletics Championships with a beard perfectly covering half of his face. Then after his gold medal-winning jump, he took off his shoe and poured dozens of tiny springs out it in a celebration way more apt for the NFL.
He’s truly among the most entertaining athletes in any Olympic sport and was given the honor of serving as Italy’s flag-bearer when the delegation sailed down the Seine during the Opening Ceremony.
That quickly turned into a nightmare. While stationed at the front...

The Olympics are a funny thing. With an estimated 11 million visitors coming to Paris for the Olympic Games, there will definitely be crowds. But a city like Paris is used to tens of millions of tourists every year, not to mention tens of millions more visitors for business purposes (Paris is a hub of commerce in addition to culture).
