With the Samsung Galaxy S23 series launch already in the rear-view mirror, we can move on to the other big Samsung flagship launch of the year – the next gen Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. Reliable tipster IceUniverse shared some preliminary specs details for the upcoming foldables. The big news for the Z Flip5 […]
Read MoreEvery year, around 1,000 Type Ia supernovas erupt in the sky. These stellar explosions brighten and then fade away in a pattern so repeatable that they’re used as “standard candles”—objects so uniformly bright that astronomers can deduce the distance to one of them by its appearance. Our understanding of the cosmos is based on these […]
Read MoreIs Ice Universe is obsessed with bezel thickness? Yes, but we don’t mind – The Cat reports that the upcoming Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max will set a new record in that regard. The black border around the screen of the new flagship will measure only 1.55mm, way down from the 2.17mm of the current […]

Read MoreCosmologists have spent decades striving to understand why our universe is so stunningly vanilla. Not only is it smooth and flat as far as we can see, but it’s also expanding at an ever-so-slowly increasing pace, when naive calculations suggest that—coming out of the Big Bang—space should have become crumpled up by gravity and blasted […]
Read MoreSmartphones are constrained by batteries and thermals and perform optimally when specialized hardware does the heavy lifting – hardware like Oppo’s MariSilicon X ISP and the new MariSilicon Y Bluetooth chip. Of course, these are partial solutions, for best results a completely custom chipset is what is needed. That seems to be the thinking over […]
Read More“There are some configurations of the future that don’t correspond to anything in the past,” Cotler said. “There’s nothing in the past that would evolve into them.” Giddings has proposed a similar principle for ruling out paradoxical states he encountered while studying black holes last year. He calls it “history matters,” and it holds that […]
Read MoreSometimes we must look to the heavens to understand our own planet. In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler’s insight that planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun led to a deeper understanding of gravity, the force that determines Earth’s tides. In the 19th century, scientists studied the color of sunlight, whose distinctive properties helped […]
Read MoreWhat you need to know GitHub Universe, an event focused on cloud, security, community, and AI, was held this week. At the conference, GitHub announced several new tools for developers and programmers. One of tools in an experimental feature called “Hey, GitHub!” that lets you code with your voice. GitHub Universe is a global developer […]
Read MoreLast week leakster Ice Universe published the exact dimensions of the Galaxy S23 series. They were mostly the same as the respective S22 models, except that they grew by a fractions of a millimeter in height and width. Now Ice has figured out where that extra 0.3mm on the Galaxy S23 came from and the […]
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago Ice Universe reported that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra design will remain basically the same and that the dimensions will differ by fractions of a millimeter. Now the leakster has published more detailed data, including the screen size, resolution and dimensions for the entire S23 family. Long story short, the […]
Read MoreThe Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is coming sooner than expected – it will be unveiled on August 11 (a day after Samsung’s foldables), according to leakster Ice Universe. Normally Xiaomi teases new launches weeks in advance, so this is a bit of a surprise. The date is probably no coincidence – Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun […]
Read More“We almost didn’t believe it at first, it was so much farther than the previous most distant star,” Brian Welch, a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University and lead author of a Nature paper detailing the discovery, stated in a NASA press release. “Normally at these distances, entire galaxies look like small smudges. The galaxy […]
Read MoreA group of scientists may have stumbled upon a radical new way to do cosmology. Cosmologists usually determine the composition of the universe by observing as much of it as possible. But these researchers have found that a machine learning algorithm can scrutinize a single simulated galaxy and predict the overall makeup of the digital […]
