NASA-Russia ISS leak row could shut Zvezda tunnel

NASA-Russia ISS leak row could shut Zvezda tunnel

NASA and Roscosmos look set to go with the simple route to deal with a persistent leak in a Russian part of the International Space Station. Instead of tearing apart aging equipment, the teams may end up just shutting the door on the leaking passageway. Russia’s Zvezda service module has a small transfer tunnel called the PrK that connects to an aft docking port. Reports this week said the PrK could be decommissioned or kept unpressurized. NASA got concerned after a June 5 repair plan, leading to U.S.-side crew moving to a return capsule.

Corning stock jumps 10% as AI data-center fiber trade draws fresh bids

Corning stock jumps 10% as AI data-center fiber trade draws fresh bids

Corning Incorporated shares jumped 10.3% to $193.45 in Thursday afternoon trading, up $18.05 on the day, as buyers returned to one of this year’s sharper artificial-intelligence infrastructure trades. The stock’s volume stood at about 11.2 million shares. The move matters because Corning is no longer being priced only as a mature specialty-glass maker. Investors are treating it as a supplier to AI data centers, where optical fiber and related connectors move large amounts of data between chips and servers. Investor’s Business Daily this week highlighted Corning as an AI data-center play and said the stock had risen 106% in 2026.
