On clear days in Hartbeespoort, South Africa, satellite images often reveal a reservoir with shades of deep blue interrupted by drifting patches of vivid green. These shifting features indicate algae blooms, which can affect water quality, ecosystems, and nearby human communities. In this animation, from June 2022 to July 2023, an algal bloom grows, moves around the reservoir, and then fades. The animation is composed of images from Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS), a NASA product that combines imagery from the NASA/USGS Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites and the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2A, 2B, and 2C satellites. Algae is…
Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test. My colleagues in the USA are busy covering CES, but HP didn’t want Australia to miss out – so the company shipped me a pre-release version of the new business-focused EliteBook X G2i running the newly released Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU.Sadly, one of the conditions is that I can’t regale you with benchmarks (for now), but I can give you a sneak peek at a very impressive…
Back in May, Apple was rumored to be testing a 200MP camera for an upcoming iPhone, but unfortunately no other details were shared at that point. 200MP cameras are becoming very prevalent in the Android world, so it makes sense that Apple would want to experiment with the tech and see if it fits its requirements. Today a Morgan Stanley investor note claims Apple has made up its mind and will use a 200MP camera in the iPhone 21 coming out in 2028. With regard to the naming we’re using here, Apple is widely expected to go up to iPhone…
Microglia are the silent guardians of the brain. They hunt down pathogens, clean up toxic protein clumps, and even shape the brain’s wiring. They’re also robust. Neurons can’t divide to generate new copies of themselves. But microglia can renew, especially during inflammation, stroke, or diseases that erode cognition.And yet this regenerative ability has a limit, especially when the cells harbor genetic mutations. One solution? Replace diseased or injured cells with a fresh supply.This year saw a meteoric rise in microglia replacement therapy, with clinical trials highlighting its brain-protecting potential. Refreshing microglia could, in theory, boost their beneficial effects.Tinkering with the…
Lenovo is rethinking how AI fits into everyday computing. At CES 2026, the company unveiled Lenovo Qira, a system-level personal intelligence designed to work quietly across your devices rather than living inside a single app. Unlike traditional AI assistants that require opening a chatbot or switching tools, Lenovo Qira is built directly into the operating system. It’s designed to stay present in the background, understand context, and step in only when it’s useful, whether you’re moving between a laptop, phone, tablet or wearable. The idea is continuity. Lenovo Qira carries the same intelligence across Lenovo and Motorola devices, maintaining awareness…
Among movie fans, Zack Snyder has a reputation for making hard-driving action spectacles that rock the faces off anyone who watches them. Think about the non-stop adrenaline rush of a movie like 300 or the grim sprawl of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. He likes slow motion, lens flares, and framing his characters like they’re powerful, unstoppable gods come to Earth. So why not make something about actual gods? Twilight of the Gods is (as yet) the only TV show Snyder has made, a one-season Netflix original that remixes elements of Norse mythology. And if you’re a fan of Snyder, action,…
It has been known for a while that Google plans to merge Chrome OS and Android into a single desktop platform, codenamed “Aluminium OS.” Unsurprisingly, this knowledge has led to many questions about the fate of Chromebooks and Chrome OS. In an attempt to ease the uncertainty, a Google executive sat down to answer a few questions about the future of the platform. The folks over at Chrome Unboxed recently hosted a private “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session featuring John Maletis, VP of Product Management for Chrome OS. During that AMA, Maletis reassured followers that, despite speculation, Chrome OS won’t…
Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Tesla In a blunder that sums up Tesla’s struggling efforts in the self-driving space, Electrek reports that the Elon Musk-owned automaker has badly screwed up trying to get a trademark for its upcoming “Cybercab.” The Cybercab, for the uninformed, is Tesla’s purpose-built vehicle for giving driverless rides. Right now, its capital-R Robotaxi service, which operates as a comically tiny fleet exclusively in Austin, Texas, uses existing Tesla Model Ys, not specialized cars (and its trademark is itself under peril due to yet more incompetence, as we’ll explain later.) A prototype of the two-passenger,…
At CES 2026, HP has officially introduced its new EliteBook X G2 series, a premium business laptop lineup built for AI-based workflows. The lineup stands out from the others as it lets customers choose between their favorite processing platforms: AMD, Intel, or Qualcomm. Further, buyers can choose between the traditional notebook and a convertible form factor. At the top of the lineup is the HP EliteBook X G2q, which offers either the Snapdragon X2 Plus or X2 Elite chip, with the latter offering up to 85 TOPS of neural processing power for handling on-device AI workloads. Besides, the laptop features…
