Corning Shares Erupt On Nvidia Deal To Supercharge Fiber Optics Output By 10x

Published by Jenni Sidey

U.S.-based glass company Corning soared in premarket trading in New York after announcing a new mega deal with Nvidia to expand manufacturing capacity for fiber optic production used in AI data centers. “Corning will increase its U.S.-based optical connectivity manufacturing capacity by 10x and expand its U.S. fiber production capacity by more than 50% to meet the accelerating demand driven by AI factory buildouts,” Nvidia wrote in a press release.  The expansion includes three new manufacturing plants in North Carolina and Texas and is expected to create more than 3,000 high-paying U.S. jobs. In a filing, Corning disclosed that Nvidia is making a $500 million equity-linked investment. Under the deal, Corning issued Nvidia two warrants: Traditional warrant: Nvidia can buy up to 15 million Corning shares at $180 per share. Pre-funded warrant: Nvidia can buy up to 3 million Corning shares at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Both warrants are exercisable immediately and expire within three years, unless earlier triggered by the termination of the partnership agreement or a major M&A transaction. …

Callaway’s new golf driver face combines titanium, carbon fiber, and a military-grade polymer found in an unlikely way

Callaway’s new golf driver face combines titanium, carbon fiber, and a military-grade polymer found in an unlikely way

Published by Jenni Sidey

Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. Golf driver faces have been almost exclusively titanium for more than three decades, with some detours into carbon fiber. Callaway tried one of those detours itself with the all-composite C4 in the early 2000s. Its new Quantum drivers take a different approach to the problem: keep the titanium, add the carbon, and bond the two with a polymer the company describes as “military-grade.” The layered build, which Callaway is calling the Tri-Force Face, debuts across all five of its flagship Quantum driver heads this season. The titanium-carbon trade-off It’s a slick-looking face. Callway Titanium has been the industry standard for driver faces for years and for good reason. At impact, the face has to flex inward and snap back fast enough to launch the ball before contact ends. Golf’s governing agency, the USGA, caps how long the ball can stay on the face using a measurement called Characteristic Time, or CT. It’s one of the biggest technical constraints that keeps drivers in check for …

Autism genetics linked to reduced brain cell fiber density

Autism genetics linked to reduced brain cell fiber density

Published by José Betancourt

Individuals who carry common genetic variants associated with autism tend to have lower density in the brain’s microscopic wiring, regardless of whether they actually have an autism diagnosis. The research reveals a shared genetic architecture between the likelihood of autism and the microscopic development of the brain. The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. Autism is a condition influenced by a vast pool of genetic variations spread across human DNA. Each minor genetic difference has only a tiny effect on its own, but combined, they shape a person’s underlying likelihood of developing the condition. This type of genetic architecture is called polygenic inheritance. Researchers have documented structural brain differences in autistic individuals for many years. However, much less is known about how the multitude of genes linked to autism might affect the physical structure of the brain in the broader public. Genetic traits often influence physical characteristics across an entire population on a sliding scale. To answer these questions, scientists look for subtle patterns in large databases of health records. Yuanjun Gu and …

10 Best Fiber Supplements for Gut Health in 2026

10 Best Fiber Supplements for Gut Health in 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

Move over protein—the best fiber supplements are about to take the wellness-savvy spotlight. Fiber intake has almost always been on doctors’ and dietitians’ radars, thanks to its role in digestion, cardiovascular health, and disease prevention. We know it’s not particularly sexy—gut health isn’t as showy as muscle-building—but it does a lot behind the scenes like helping regulate blood sugar, promote satiety, and reduce LDL cholesterol levels. It also (famously) keeps your bowel movements flowing regularly. As you probably already know since you’re reading this, most Americans (over 90 percent) aren’t getting nearly enough fiber. The recommended intake hovers around 25 to 38 grams per day, and the average person falls well short of that. Of course, most dietitians I’ve talked to in my years of health reporting say the best way to get fiber is through a whole-food diet, complete with fruits, veggies, grains and legumes. But if you find yourself slacking, supplements can help. I talked with Jordan Glenn, head of science at SuppCo, an agnostic third-party supplement verifier, and tested a range of …

Seemingly, everyone has nutrition advice to offer these days, which, while I’m sure it’s all well-meaning, tends to be contradictory, which can leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed. Who to trust? That’s an easy one. Trust dietitians, or to give them their formal US title, registered dietitian nutritionists, RDNs for short. To call yourself a dietitian in the US you need, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “a minimum of a graduate degree from an accredited dietetics program and [to have] completed a supervised practice requirement, passed a national exam and continue professional development throughout their careers.” Article continues below You may like One of the perks of my job is that I get a lot of face time with dietitians, and I can ask them for their best (and least gimmicky) advice to help make healthier dietary choices. In this instance, I asked registered dietitian Amy Shapiro, who is also lead nutritionist for ButcherBox, to share her top nutrition tips. She gave me four simple tips to improve your diet. 1.

Daily fiber supplement relieves arthritis pain, study finds

Daily fiber supplement relieves arthritis pain, study finds

Published by Jenni Sidey

A scoop of fiber stirred into yogurt may not sound like much of a pain treatment. But in a new clinical trial, that simple routine eased knee osteoarthritis pain, improved grip strength, and appeared easier for people to stick with than a digital physiotherapy program. The study, called INSPIRE, tested inulin, a prebiotic fiber found in foods such as chicory root and Jerusalem artichoke, in adults with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers from the University of Nottingham reported that after six weeks, people taking inulin had less knee pain than those given a placebo. The work was published in Nutrients. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint disorders in older adults. It wears down the joint, causing pain, stiffness, and trouble moving around. Exercise is a standard first-line treatment, but many people find it hard to maintain. Pain medicines can help, though they also come with risks. “This study raises the exciting possibility that a simple dietary change, adding a fibre supplement to your breakfast or yogurt, could meaningfully reduce pain and improve physical function,” …

Corsair Sabre V2 Carbon Fiber and Magnesium Gaming Mice Review

Corsair Sabre V2 Carbon Fiber and Magnesium Gaming Mice Review

Published by skeptic

While this assembly works well and allows for the mouse to be incredibly lightweight and rigid, I found a few concerns with repairability. With both shells, there is a risk of repeated disassembly breaking the plastic clips. With the carbon fiber shell, there is also a risk of the threads in the upper shell becoming stripped if the screws are over-tightened, something that is made worse by the fact that the screws used are self-tapping. Typically, anything made from carbon fiber or lightweight plastic would use metal inserts inside of the material to prevent stripping, but this has not been done with this mouse—presumably also for weight savings. Because of this, half of the screws in this mouse already had material lodged between the threads during my initial disassembly, seemingly having already been over-tightened by the factory. This doesn’t impact usability, since the mouse is primarily held together by the plastic clips, but it could cause issues later down the line if the plastic clips fail. I did actually break one of these plastic clips …

Suspect in 1996 killing of 7-year-old Kentucky girl found with DNA and fiber evidence

Suspect in 1996 killing of 7-year-old Kentucky girl found with DNA and fiber evidence

Published by Sam Flores

An Alabama inmate, who had previously escaped jail twice, was charged this week in the July 1996 cold-case abduction and murder of a 7-year-old Kentucky girl, authorities announced at a news conference. Robert Scott Froberg was charged Thursday in a federal criminal complaint with kidnapping resulting in death in connection with the murder of Morgan Violi. Froberg was arrested in August 1996 for an unrelated crime and was in the custody of the Alabama Department of Corrections when he was charged with Morgan’s death. Kyle G. Bumgarner, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky, said at a Friday news conference that advancements in forensic testing helped link Froberg to the crime. Morgan was playing with her 6-year-old friend at the Colony Apartments in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when she was kidnapped, according to a federal affidavit in support of a criminal complaint. An adult saw the kidnapping and described the suspect as a man who was driving a maroon van. Morgan’s body was found three months after her abduction in the woods near a barn …
