More than 10 million people have signed up for X in December, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a post on the social media platform on Thursday. This comes as the company, formerly known as Twitter, risks losing as much $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as major brands pause their marketing campaigns on the platform, according to the New York Times. X, which does not regularly release user data, could not immediately be reached for comment on how the December sign-ups compared to average or why Yaccarino disclosed the figure. Billionaire owner Elon Musk said in July the site had 540 million monthly users. Several companies, including Apple, Disney, Warner Bros Discovery, Comcast, Lions Gate Entertainment , Paramount Global, and IBM said in November they were pausing their advertisements on X. Musk cursed advertisers that fled the platform after he agreed with a user who falsely claimed Jewish people were stoking hatred ag...

Saudi Arabia and Russia have agreed to extend their voluntary oil production cuts through the end of the year DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed Tuesday to extend their voluntary oil production cuts through the end of this year, trimming 1.3 million barrels of crude out of the global market and boosting energy prices. The dual announcements from Riyadh and Moscow pushed benchmark Brent crude above $90 a barrel in trading Tuesday afternoon, a price unseen in the market since November. The countries' moves could increase i NFL ation and the cost for motorists at gasoline pumps. It also puts new pressure on Saudi Arabia's relationship with the United States, as President Joe Biden last year warned the kingdom there would be unspecified “consequences” for partnering with Russia on cuts as Moscow wages war on Ukraine. Saudi Arabia's announcement, carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, said the country still ...

The Biden administration is handing out more than $570 million in grants to help eliminate railroad crossings in 32 states just as the industry is increasingly relying on longer and longer trains to cut costs OMAHA, Neb. -- With the rail industry relying on longer and longer trains to cut costs, the Biden administration is handing out $570 million in grants to help eliminate many railroad crossings in 32 states. The grants announced Monday will contribute to building bridges or underpasses at the sites of more than three dozen crossings that delay traffic and sometimes keep first responders from where help is desperately needed. In some places, trains routinely stretching more than 2 miles (3.2 km) long can block crossings for hours, cutting off access to parts of towns and forcing pedestrians to attempt the dangerous act of climbing through trains that could start moving without warning. “We see countless stories of people unable to get to work on time, goods being blocked from gettin...

The “world’s thinnest gold” is one million times thinner than a fingernail – and is so thin, it’s technically regarded as “two dimensional”. This image shows a gold “nanosheet” that is just two atoms thick The official measurement is 0.47 nanometres, made possible because the gold is made up of just two atoms sitting on top of each other. This revolutionary material could be used to create new Technology and speed up industrial processes, according to its creators at the University of Leeds. “Gold nanoparticles are used to speed up chemical reactions,” researcher Dr Sunjie Ye told The Sun. “This ultra-thin gold could be used in new medical devices that test for the early signs of disease or illness. This image from an electron microscope shows how the atoms of the gold nanosheet arranged themselves into a “highly organised” lattice pattern “It could also have uses in tran...
