The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is banning imports of new foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing national security risks, in a move that targets China. Beijing quickly accused the U.S. of protectionism. The measures are likely to test relations with Beijing ahead of a planned U.S. visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in September. China dominates the global market for humanoid robots with an estimated market share of roughly 85%. The FCC’s ban also includes new imports of quadruped robots, often referred to as four-legged robot dogs. The agency said imports of…
Since their discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, little red dots (LRDs) have been the subject of great interest to astronomers. Understanding the nature of these extremely distant, compact red sources has been a puzzling scientific endeavor. One popular theory is that little red dots are supermassive black holes known as active galactic nuclei, although they display characteristics unlike nearby active galactic nuclei. While they appear abundant at high redshift early in the universe, they rapidly decrease in number at lower redshifts. (The higher the redshift, the greater the distance the light has traveled across the universe.)…
Beyerdynamic has expanded its professional audio line-up with the launch of the DT 275 PRO, a new pair of compact on-ear monitoring headphones designed for creators, engineers and production crews. These users need to make accurate audio decisions in noisy environments. Priced at €119, the new model joins the company’s PRO series as one of its most affordable options. Rather than targeting casual listeners, the DT 275 PRO is built for professionals working on film sets, live events, mobile editing rigs and DJ booths. In these places, background noise can make it difficult to monitor audio accurately. Beyerdynamic says the headphones deliver 22dBA…
Buying a Galaxy phone with plenty of storage is a good start, but what’s even more important is managing it smartly. But even if you’re careful about the number of apps you install and keep your photo library in check, storage will still disappear. A lot of it isn’t entirely your fault, though. Several of Samsung’s built-in features and system apps can take up gigabytes over time without making it obvious. Once you know what to look for, freeing up 10-20 GB barely takes minutes. Related I disabled background location polling and my Android lasted two extra hours My apps…
When it comes to getting the right accessories for my home office, I’m usually focused on not only performance, but also comfort. Like many of us, my mouse and keyboard are key parts of my home working set-up, which is spread across a laptop and external monitor, and using them pretty much all day everyday means I need something that is comfortable to use.So when I saw that Logitech had released a new keyboard and mouse specifically designed around promoting comfort, it seemed like an obvious choice. The company’s Signature Comfort Plus line comes with built-in cushioning, which it says…
New information has come to light following the investigations conducted by OpenAI and Hugging Face into the recent incident involving rogue AI models. The ML collaboration platform Hugging Face revealed on July 16 that it had detected a cyberattack powered by an autonomous AI agent system. OpenAI admitted on July 21 that some of its models – taking part in an evaluation in what was believed to be an isolated environment – went rogue and hacked into Hugging Face systems in an attempt to solve the tasks they were given.

Building new enzymes is a labor of love. These proteins are the body’s chemical workhorses, speeding up the reactions that make life possible. Researchers use them in gene editing and synthetic biology, and they’re involved in many medical treatments.But enzymes are also extremely finicky. Even tiny changes to their structures can jeopardize how well they work. To grow or improve their capabilities, scientists usually begin with a natural enzyme. In a process called directed evolution, they slowly nudge the enzyme towards new versions with tailored properties. The process is tedious, time-consuming, and despite best efforts, it may never yield the…
Months after banning all foreign routers and subsequently approving some of them in weeks, the FCC is back at it again, and this time robots and power inverters are in its crosshairs. The Federal Communications Commission has added two new entries to its Covered List, and this time the targets are advanced robots and power inverters made outside the US. The move follows a White House-led security review that flagged both categories as genuine risks to national security. We are talking about mobile robots like humanoids and quadrupeds, along with the connected power inverters used across the US power grid.…

According to a new leak, the Realme 16x 5G could soon make its debut in India. The Indian variant is tipped to feature a larger battery than the global variant. The handset was also recently spotted on the BIS certification website, hinting at an imminent launch. The leak claims that the India-bound Realme 16x will pack a 7,000mAh battery, replacing the 6,600mAh cell found in the global version. The leak suggests that the phone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and ship with Android 16 out of the box. It is also tipped to come with a…
