A Korean research team says it has solved the biggest technical hurdle standing between today’s EVs and a 12-minute charge. The breakthrough targets dendrites. Those are the needle-like crystals that grow inside lithium-metal batteries during fast charging. They’ve kept advanced cells from leaving the lab by shortening lifespan and increasing fire risk. Now researchers at KAIST have developed an intelligent coating that rearranges itself. It keeps lithium ions moving smoothly, even under extreme electrical load. A self-adjusting layer that mimics traffic flow The team added thiophene to the battery electrolyte. That creates a protective barrier with a flexible electronic structure.…
Picking a flagship in 2026 is genuinely harder than it should be — not because the options are bad, but because they’re good in completely different ways. The S26 Ultra is Samsung doing what its does best: throwing everything at a phone until it sticks. The OnePlus 15 has a battery so large it almost feels like cheating, at a price that makes the other two look overpriced. And the Pixel 10 Pro XL is Google quietly making the case that specs aren’t everything — that software, consistency, and a camera you can trust on the first shot matter more…
The Samsung Unpacked 2026 event was packed with AI announcements. Apart from the new hardware and AI improvements, two features in particular stood out: Privacy Display and Ocean Mode. Ocean Mode, however, isn’t new. It was first launched with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and was developed for marine researchers, giving them a way to capture more color-accurate visual data underwater and consistently monitor coral reef ecosystems over time. Now, the company is bringing that same feature to consumers with Ocean Mode inside the Expert RAW camera app, rolling out to the Galaxy S26 series. How Ocean Mode improves underwater…
Well, those Falcon 9 landings never get old. Imagine, just over a decade ago the idea of being able to land a rocket upright after it’d been to space seemed crazy. And then SpaceX went and did it. Following its first successful touchdown in December 2015, SpaceX suffered the occasional mishap with its booster landings, but in recent years it’s well and truly nailed the process. The Elon Musk-led spaceflight company shared a video (below) this week of its most recent landing, with dramatic footage captured by a camera attached to the rocket showing the spectacular early-morning ride home. The…
After rolling out its AI-powered Prompted Playlist feature to users in North America earlier this year, Spotify is now introducing another smart tool aimed at improving how your music flows from one track to the next. With its latest update, the streaming giant has added a new feature called Smart Reorder for playlist transitions. As its name suggests, the feature automatically rearranges songs in a playlist to create smoother transitions between tracks. It builds on the Mix tool introduced last year, which allowed users to manually add volume, EQ, and effect curves to achieve seamless transitions between tracks in a…
Of all the things Samsung announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, a quiet little feature might actually be my favorite, and for good reasons. Remember Samsung’s Audio Eraser that showed up with the Galaxy S25 series? You’d shoot a video, open it in the Gallery app, tap the AI button, and it would scrub out whatever background noise had crept in during recording. Wind, crowd roar, a lawnmower three houses down — gone. It worked well enough that people noticed, and Samsung clearly noticed people noticing. Samsung’s new Audio Eraser can make your live sports broadcasts…
Have you ever walked through a run-down part of town and imagined the potential that exists? For Samson, who grew up in the roughest part of his hometown of Tyndalston called The Ditch, that is his day-to-day life. However, as someone who got his hands on Liquid Swords’ Samson, it ended up being my experience for more than an hour as I fell completely into the enthralling gameplay loop, but was left to imagine how great the experience could be if it were a bit more polished.As Samson, you return home to The Ditch with a mountain of debt to…
This is the first Galaxy S26 Ultra deal that actually feels worth talking about. Amazon has the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB pre-order bundle for $1,299.99, and it comes with a $200 Amazon gift card. That alone is a strong launch offer, but the real reason this stands out is the storage angle: this promo gives you double the storage without forcing you to pay the usual premium for it. That matters because flagship phone deals at launch are usually underwhelming. You might get a tiny credit, maybe a trade-in boost, and that’s it. This one is better. You’re getting…
World of Warcraft: Midnight launches next week, but early access begins later this evening. Ahead of the MMORPG’s anticipated expansion, we sat down with World of Warcraft’s lead composer, Leo Kaliski, to learn about the making of Midnight’s music and how the team is flexing its creative muscle with new instrumentation. Finally, Kaliski counts himself lucky to make human music in a world obsessed with generative AI. In your journey from composer’s assistant to lead composer, I’m curious how you’ve come to understand the musical identity of World of Warcraft. What does it sound like to you?Some of my understanding comes…
Backyard pools tend to fall into familiar patterns: a few laps, some floating, and a lot of splashing around on weekends. The iGarden Swim Jet X Series, the world’s first AI-powered portable swim jet, wants to make those routines feel entirely new. It promises a pool that doesn’t just sit there waiting for warm weather, but one that adapts to workouts, family play, and everyday life – all without drilling, plumbing, or permanent installation. The device attaches to most pools with a simple clamp, and its upcoming crowdfunding launch in early to mid-March 2026 signals a major shift in what…
