Researchers have directly observed the quantum “zero-point motion” of atoms for the first time, proving they vibrate in synchronized patterns even at absolute zero. The breakthrough was made at the European XFEL in Hamburg using a technique called Coulomb Explosion Imaging.
Apple has lost its appeal of a major contempt ruling in the Epic Games antitrust battle. The court upheld findings that Apple failed to comply with a 2021 order but said the company can still charge fees for external purchases.
The narrative that VR is dying is everywhere, but the sales data tells a different story. The audience has just radically shifted to a younger, more cost-conscious generation that loves free-to-play games.
AT&T is taking another swing at the smart home after shutting down its old Digital Life service. Its new Connected Life platform, built with Google and Abode, starts at $11 per month. The big question is whether being an AT&T customer is enough of a draw.
A new article frames AI as the latest chapter in an old story. Every world-changing tech, from the automobile onward, hits a wall that only new materials can solve. And those materials often come with massive supply chain headaches.
Google DeepMind is partnering with the UK government to open its first automated research lab focused on material discovery. The facility, set to open in 2026, will use robotics and AI to search for new superconductors and other advanced materials.
Data centers are full of non-linear electrical loads that create harmonics, distorting power and causing massive inefficiency. This can lead to a 2-10% increase in electricity costs and cut equipment life in half. The problem is getting worse with AI.
Intel’s “ANV” Vulkan driver in Mesa has merged a new shader VMA allocator. This is foundational work needed to enable Vulkan ray-tracing capture and replay, a crucial tool for developers. The feature is confirmed working with an older merge request in the RenderDoc tool.
Google DeepMind is launching a major research partnership with the UK government. The deal includes a new automated AI lab for material discovery, work on nuclear fusion, and a deeper, more controversial collaboration with the UK’s AI safety watchdog.
A critical zero-day vulnerability in the self-hosted Git service Gogs is under active attack, with over half of exposed instances already compromised. The bug allows remote code execution, and there’s still no official fix from the project maintainers.
