What’s happened? After months of leaks and anticipation, Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, its first tri-folding smartphone and a global rival to Huawei’s Mate XTs Ultimate. The device opens to a 10-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1600-nit peak brightness and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The 6.5-inch FHD+ cover screen (borrowed from the Fold 7) is even brighter at 2600 nits, supports 120Hz, and packs a higher 422 ppi density than the inner panel’s 269 ppi. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm), not Qualcomm’s newest chip, but still delivering near-flagship CPU and…

Love watching dark dramas with police investigations? Feel like you’re into true crime podcasts and documentaries but want to take a step back and watch a serialized show?

Since the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 this past summer, rumors have been swirling about when Samsung might finally reveal its next major foldable phone — a tri-fold device. Now, the wait is finally over. Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, its most advanced foldable phone ever, featuring a 10-inch main inner display, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, and equipped with the largest battery in a Samsung foldable yet at 5,600mAh.

For much of 2025, the frontier of open-weight language models has been defined not in Silicon Valley or New York City, but in Beijing and Hangzhou.Chinese research labs including Alibaba's Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot and Baidu have rapidly set the pace in developing large-scale, open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models — often with permissive licenses and leading benchmark performance. While OpenAI fielded its own open source, general purpose LLM this summer as well — gpt-oss-20B and 120B — the uptake has been slowed by so many equally or better performing alternatives. Now, one small U.S. company is pushing back.Today, Arcee AI announced the…

4 Min Read What is AI? (Grades 5-8) This article is for students grades 5-8. What is AI? Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a type of technology that helps machines and computers have “thinking” abilities similar to humans. Devices using AI can learn words and concepts, recognize objects, see patterns, or make predictions. They can also be taught how to work autonomously. AI is often used to help people understand and solve problems more quickly than they could on their own. AI includes: Machine learning: This type of AI looks at large amounts of data and learns how to make…

Samsung may be launching not one, but two book-style foldable smartphones next year. This is based on a ton of speculation, by the way, but it is speculation stemming from the simple fact that the Korean company is currently developing a device with the model number SM-F971. This has the codename H8, and it’s definitely not the Fold8, which has the model number SM-F976 and the codename Q8. It’s also definitely part of the Galaxy Z Fold series and not a Flip, since the model numbers for the Flip-style foldables start with the number 7, not 9. Now, here’s the…

When Liquid AI, a startup founded by MIT computer scientists back in 2023, introduced its Liquid Foundation Models series 2 (LFM2) in July 2025, the pitch was straightforward: deliver the fastest on-device foundation models on the market using the new "liquid" architecture, with training and inference efficiency that made small models a serious alternative to cloud-only large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT series and Google's Gemini. The initial release shipped dense checkpoints at 350M, 700M, and 1.2B parameters, a hybrid architecture heavily weighted toward gated short convolutions, and benchmark numbers that placed LFM2 ahead of similarly sized competitors…

Space is getting busier as national space agencies and private companies increase the tempo of launches. But today’s approach to space exploration is unsustainable, say researchers, and we need to do more to make sure the orbital economy is a circular one.While companies like SpaceX have made progress with reusable rockets, most launch vehicles are used only once, and their remains are left to either burn up in the atmosphere or clutter low-Earth orbit. They also dump huge quantities of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting chemicals into the upper atmosphere.Satellites are similarly unsustainable. After completing missions, they’re often either moved to…
