New Material

Google Pixel 9 series was unveiled at the Made by Google event in August comprising four models. A new report sheds light on the bill of materials (BOM) of the Pixel 9 Pro whose place in the smartphone lineup has been reworked this year and it sits above the Pixel 9 but below the new Pixel 9 Pro XL. It is suggested that the smartphone costs less to...

A study from the University of Plymouth and University of Bath raises concerns about bio-based fibres. While often marketed as eco-friendly, these fibres may cause greater ecological harm than conventional plastics. Exposure to viscose and lyocell, commonly found in clothing and wet wipes, resulted in high mortality rates in earthworms, crucial for...

Asus Zenbook S 14 OLED laptop was launched recently with the latest Intel Core Ultra Lunar Lake chipsets. It features a 3K resolution OLED touch display with 120Hz refresh rate, a quad-speaker setup, and a large 72Wh battery claimed to deliver 27 hours of battery life. There’s also a new type of material, called Ceraluminium, used for the lid giv...

Itel S25 series may launch soon as details regarding the purported lineup have surfaced online over the past few days. The series is expected to include a base Itel S25 and an S25 Ultra variant. A new report has shared leaked promotional posters of the Itel S25 Ultra as well as some hands-on images of the phone. The leaked materials suggest key spe...

On September 22, 2024, China’s High Magnetic Field Laboratory set a world record by creating a 42-tesla resistive magnet, surpassing the previous 41.4-tesla mark established by the US in 2017. This breakthrough, resulting from nearly four years of research, enhances the capabilities of high-field magnets used in scientific exploration, positionin...

Google is rolling out a revamped video player for its cloud storage service — Google Drive. It gets a new look in line with the Mountain View-based tech giant’s Material Design 3 system. Following its introduction, there are dedicated buttons for fast-forwarding and rewinding the media while the playback speed adjustment option also gets an enh...

The video appears to show the New York State Assembly candidate replacing the flyer with his campaign material, before tucking the rivals leaflet into his pocket.

China’s Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) has achieved a new milestone by developing the world’s most powerful resistive magnet, generating a magnetic field of 42.02 tesla. This surpasses the previous record of 41.4 tesla held by the US National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The magnet is crucial for research in advanced materials l...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have introduced an innovative approach to data storage by encasing DNA in a material resembling amber. This method offers long-term preservation and easy retrieval, making it a potential game changer in the field of data storage. The technique builds on the concept popularised by the film Jur...

iPhone 16 series was unveiled last month and teardown videos and durability tests of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are currently doing rounds on the Web. Most recently, the bill of materials (BOM) details of the iPhone 16 Pro Max have surfaced online, revealing the total manufacturing cost of the device. The BOM...

Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 8 Pro’s pre-installed Thermometer app could get a new feature that could make the process of recording the temperature easier, according to a report. It is said to have been spotted during an APK teardown of the app. Leveraging the temperature sensor located at the back of the Pixel 9 Pro and its predecessor, this fea...

Researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a new laser-based method to precisely control defects in MOF-based supercapacitors. This technique significantly enhances energy storage performance without altering the MOF’s crystal structure. By adjusting laser power, scientists increased the electrode's...

The Tamil Nadu government has signed an MoU with Google to explore potential AI opportunities in the state. The TN government will also establish a 'Tamil Nadu AI Labs' facility in Chennai. The government also signed agreements with firms like Nokia, PayPal, Infinix, and Applied Materials to set up facilities across the state.

Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

Physicists have recently observed an unexpected phenomenon in a superconducting material, potentially pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this field. The discovery centres on a material typically known as an electrical insulator. In this insulator, researchers found that electrons could pair up at temperatures as high as minus 123 degrees ...
