Big Tech Stocks Today: Magnificent Seven Slide After AI Funding Jitters Hit the Nasdaq (Dec. 17, 2025)

As of 6:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, Big Tech stocks finished the U.S. session broadly lower, with the AI trade back in the crosshairs. The headline driver wasn’t a single earnings miss from a mega-cap—rather, it was a growing market debate over how the next wave of AI infrastructure gets financed, and whether the returns will justify the scale of spending now embedded in forecasts.

Australian Firm Neumann Space Pioneers Molybdenum-Fueled Space Propulsion With a Metal “Fuel Rod” Thruster

When most people hear “space propulsion,” they picture fire and chemical exhaust. But one of Australia’s most closely watched propulsion efforts is built around something far less cinematic—and potentially far more practical for modern satellites: a solid metal rod of molybdenum that can be turned into plasma on demand to nudge spacecraft through orbit.

The Benefits of Brain-Computer Interfaces for Cognitive Enhancement: What 2025’s Breakthroughs Mean for Memory, Attention, and Communication

Brain-computer interfaces are having a breakout moment—not because humans suddenly have “telepathy,” but because several parallel developments are turning decades of lab research into early clinical reality. In 2025, multiple companies and research groups reported milestones that expand what BCIs can do, how safely they can be tested, and how easily they might plug into everyday technology—from restoring speech and text communication to exploring memory support and faster learning.
