Batteries are boring. While an essential component in the vast majority of products, lengthening of a tablet, smartphone, or wearable typically isn’t the most exciting announcement when compared to a new design or features that change how you use the device in question. That could be one reason why external batteries remain such a constant: Companies continue to prioritize looks over battery life. New chargers and external battery packs are a regular presence at trade shows like the Consumer Electronics Show, but the most interesting models at this year’s show all had something in common. Besides charging, they had some…

NASA’s integrated SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft for the Artemis II mission is inching closer to launch – literally.

A pre rollout mission news conference, live feed of rollout, and a media gaggle will stream on NASA’s YouTube channel. Individual streams for each of these events will be available from that page. Learn how to stream NASA content through a variety of online platforms, including social…

This is the Moto G (2026) and came out in early November, and has been on sale since last month. It’s very similar to its predecessor, with only slight changes to the specs sheet. We’ll call them quality of life type upgrades – you get twice the base storage at 128GB and a slightly bigger 5,200mAh battery. Oh, and the selfie camera has doubled from a 16MP unit to a 32MP one with a brighter f/2.2 lens. The rest of the specs are nearly identical – a 6.7-inch IPS LCD with 1,000 nits of brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate.…

Data loss is one of those disasters that can torpedo a productive day, or an entire month, if things get really ugly. Whether it is ransomware, a dying hard drive, or a clumsy deletion, losing important files can stall your entire workflow. I recently came across a backup tool that didn’t compromise on security or simplicity: Restic—a fast, efficient, and secure command-line backup tool. If you need a beginner’s guide to the command prompt because the idea of using a CLI makes you nervous, I completely understand. A blinking cursor can be intimidating. But Restic is human-readable. After switching, I…

Micron has defended its decision to shutter the Crucial brand of consumer RAMA marketing exec said, “Our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We’re just doing it through different channels.”This refers to the majority of Micron’s consumer business as being supplying RAM for OEM PCs, and the exec has a point to an extent – but so do those who are complainingThe RAM crisis continues to rage, and some consumers are still raging too, remaining unhappy with Micron ditching its Crucial brand last month – but the memory maker has just been defending this…

Antibodies touch nearly every corner of healthcare. These carefully crafted proteins can target cancer cells, control autoimmune diseases, fight infections, and destroy the toxic proteins that drive neurological disorders. They’re also notoriously difficult to make.Over 160 antibody therapies have been approved globally. Their market value is expected to reach $445 billion in the next five years. But the traditional design process takes years of trial and error and is often constrained to structures similar to existing proteins.With AI, however, we can now generate completely new antibody designs—never before seen in nature—from scratch. Last year, labs and commercial companies raced to…

On December 6, NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) spacecraft, which has been studying the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere for over a decade, mysteriously went offline. The spacecraft was expected to send telemetry back to Earth, signals that were never picked up by NASA’s Deep Space Network, a global system of massive radio antennas making up an interplanetary communications network. Less than a week later, NASA issued a new update, admitting that MAVEN appeared to be “rotating in an unexpected manner when it emerged from behind Mars.” Then, on December 23, the agency issued its last update, promising that…
