Dans une région longtemps restée inaccessible aux scientifiques, une expédition a révélé une biodiversité exceptionnelle. Parmi les trouvailles figurent des dizaines d’espèces potentiellement inconnues de la science, dont une étonnante araignée fluorescente.
Dans le maquis corse, les frontières entre nature sauvage et élevage s’effacent. Ici, le sanglier croise parfois la route — et le cœur — du porc corse en liberté. De ces rencontres naît un animal singulier : le sanglochon, ni tout à fait sauvage, ni vraiment domestique. Son allure intrigue, ses...
Ses bras font rire. Pourtant, une griffe du T. rex pouvait exercer une pression colossale sur sa proie. Ces membres minuscules, longtemps moqués, cachent peut-être l'une des armes les plus ingénieuses de la préhistoire. Et si on avait tout faux depuis le début ?
Depuis quelques années, une présence étrange s’étire en silence à la surface de l’Atlantique. Vue de l’espace, elle dessine un immense ruban brun reliant deux continents. Ce phénomène, quasi inconnu il y a peu, intrigue les scientifiques autant qu’il inquiète les riverains.
Tesla has pushed the planned public demo of its next-generation Roadster to August or later, according to a report from The Information citing four people with knowledge of the program. It marks yet another delay for the vehicle first unveiled as a prototype nearly nine years ago.
The demo, expected to take place in Texas, is meant to showcase the SpaceX cold gas thruster system that Tesla claims will allow the Roadster to achieve extreme acceleration and even lift off the ground.

Welcome to Edition 8.44 of the Rocket Report! The news this week is decidedly weighted in favor of heavy-lift rockets, largely due to the fallout from last Thursday's explosion of Blue Origin's New Glenn on its launch pad in Florida. Blue Origin aims to resume launches at the badly damaged launch facility by the end of the year, but there's good reason to be skeptical of this timeline. With New Glenn grounded, will Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos approach Elon Musk's SpaceX to launch his Blue Moon lander to the lunar south pole? It sure sounds like NASA is pushing for that.

Spaceport development moves forward in Canada. There's been a lot of talk about the Canadian government's recent commitment to invest in a sovereign launch capability. There was the announcement last year of a federal budget of 182.6 million Canadian dollars ($131 million) over three years to establish a sovereign launch program. In March, the government said it would lease a dedicated launch pad at a commercially developed spaceport in Nova Scotia for national defense purposes, committing 200 million Canadian dollars ($144 million) to the deal. The agreement is a boon for Maritime Launch Services, which is developing Spaceport Nova Scotia after years of slow progress at the coastal site, SpaceQ reports.

Elon Musk’s rocket company, on the cusp of the largest initial public offering ever, will soon end up in index funds after rule changes by Nasdaq and other index providers.
Les raptors, dinosaures à plumes du Crétacé, ne pouvaient pas voler malgré leur lien étroit avec les oiseaux. Une nouvelle étude menée sur un site fossilifère en Chine révèle toutefois que certains d’entre eux auraient été capables de planer et de chasser les premiers oiseaux.

Microsoft has announced Coreutils, a new Windows 11 feature that allows developers to run many popular Linux command line utilities natively on Windows from a single binary.
Revealed at this week’s Build 2026 developer conference in Seattle, Coreutils is about reducing what Microsoft terms the “cognitive load” faced by developers when moving between Windows and other platforms.
Currently, accessing the Linux command line utilities that are considered essential in many CI/CD development environments on Windows requires a kludge that involves either opening an emulation such as Git Bash, or a virtualized Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL) terminal.
Both are time-consuming and inefficient. As Microsoft’s announcement puts it: “Developers constantly move between platforms, but familiar commands don’t work consistently, forcing workarounds, lost speed and context switching.”
Coreutils removes the need for this back and forth, allowing developers to run most Linux commands straight from the Windows CMD command prompt, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal.
“Whether you’re moving between Linux, macOS, WSL, containers or cloud environments, the commands and workflows you’ve built over years just work in your Windows environment,” Microsoft said.
Most utilities, but not all
Installed as a single executable (via WinGet: install Microsoft.Coreutils), Coreutils for Windows itself is a Rust rewrite of the GNU uutils/coreutils project that provides commands that are universal across Linux distros.
Fundamental to making Coreutils efficient to manage is the fact that individual Linux commands run from a multi-call executable which maps via NTFS hardlinks pointing to each command. The advantage of this approach is that there’s only one binary to install, one binary to sign, and one binary to patch or update.
However, some Coreutils commands clash with existing CMD or Powershell commands, or are otherwise not possible to execute; Microsoft provides a compatibility table listing conflicts. This means that some commands are not available, specifically: dir, expand, kill, more, timeout, and whoami.
There are also some commands omitted from Coreutils because a command relies on a POSIX Unix/Linux feature that Windows doesn’t implement in a compatible way; some examples are chmod, chown, id, stty, and chroot.
In other cases, the command will execute in one context, CMD, but not in PowerShell. Microsoft explained the complex order of precedence: “Whether the Coreutils version runs depends on the shell, the PATH order, and (for PowerShell) the alias table.”
Asteroid mining startup AstroForge has completed assembly of its latest spacecraft for launch later this year, incorporating lessons from a failed mission last year.
SpaceX’s amended S-1 IPO filing, published yesterday, reveals that xAI purchased another $269 million worth of Tesla Megapack products in April 2026 alone. That single month exceeds what xAI spent on Tesla Megapacks in all of 2024.
The purchase brings total Megapack spending by xAI to roughly $1 billion since 2024 — a staggering figure that underscores both how power-hungry AI data centers have become and how deeply intertwined Elon Musk’s companies are.
