Well, howdy there, internet people. It's Dana again. And today you're at Research Road.

This is a weekly series where we go through science and tech news with a bit of dry humor.

Then we do a dive into a science topic and we close out by answering some questions from y'all.

Today is the 26th of August 2025. And on this date in 1968, the Beatles song, Hey Jude, was released.

Today is Women's Equality Day.

So, starting off with tech news, the U.S. has taken a 10% stake in Intel.

Trump seems to have used money approved by Congress through Biden's legislation

as leverage. The development is raising all kinds of legal and financial questions. The secretive

of Rhode Island. The hundreds of workers involved also have questions about the termination of the

project. In another find-out moment for rural Republicans, Trump pulled about $62 million from solar grants in Utah.

Looks like he also pulled more than 100 million from West Virginia and 125 million from Alaska.

Executives are warning that his moves against solar will cause an energy crisis and raise prices on consumers.

The world's first commercial carbon storage facility has started operations.

It's injecting carbon deep under the seafloor in the North Sea.

The carbon is being captured from smokestacks in Europe.

In the world of animals,

Great White Sharks are spending more time further north around Maine and Nova Scotia.

The shark has really never lived down the impression left by the movie Jaws on viewers,
