What’s the actual point of One UI 9? Before I installed the beta of Samsung’s upcoming Android 17 skin, that’s the question I was asking myself. Sure, the small tweaks and minor customisation additions were appreciated, but a whole new version? That felt like scraping the barrel. After being seriously underwhelmed by Android 17 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, I assumed it was more of the same here. And I was right – for the most part. However, after my three weeks of using One UI 9 on the Galaxy S26, I’ve realised the true game-changing potential of one…
During this year’s World Cup, one scene repeats itself game after game: Several players take the field with holes in the calves of their socks. Social media is rife with theories about the supposed competitive advantage this might give them. But the practice isn’t new. It has been seen at the European Championships, the Olympic Games, and other international competitions over the past decade. Still, science has yet to find evidence that it improves performance.Professional soccer socks are, by design, form-fitting. In addition to holding shin guards in place, they provide support to the ankle, the arch of the foot,…
Approximately 500,000 deaths every year are attributed to extreme heat, a crisis intensified by the urban heat island effect, which causes metropolitan areas to warm at double the worldwide average. Earlier this month, record-breaking heat waves across Western Europe pushed temperatures past 40°C (104°F). The prevalence of heat-trapping materials, like dark pavements and roofs, combined with a lack of vegetation, largely drives this localized warming. Heat mitigation measures are critical to reducing this toll, and cool roofs offer a highly cost-effective solution. By increasing rooftop reflectivity (albedo), we can significantly reduce the amount of solar energy absorbed by buildings, ultimately…
Anthropic shipped two updates in one week, and neither story stops at the model itself. One story is about how far a government will go to control frontier AI before it reaches users. The other is about how cheap agentic AI has to get before it becomes routine business infrastructure. A third thread runs underneath the first two: where a company sits on the map now shapes which Anthropic models it can put into production at all. Fable 5 Returns After a Government Ban Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 on June 9, 2026. Fable 5 and…
Aluminum is essential to modern life; from the cars we drive to the packaging that protects our daily goods. Yet, bauxite, the raw material, is often hidden in remote locations. One of the world’s largest operations is Alcoa’s Juruti mine, located 900 kilometers inland along the Amazon River in Brazil, which produces 7.5 million metric tons of bauxite annually. Getting that ore to the global supply chain is a 24/7 logistical puzzle. Alcoa operates a 50-kilometer private railroad to move ore to its port in Pará, where massive stackers, reclaimers, and ship loaders transfer material onto a $200 million fleet…
MONTREAL — Rachel Doran, executive director at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to the federal government’s announced expansion of the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program:“The expansion of the Canada Greener Home Affordability Program (CGHAP) to four additional provinces is an important step to help Canadians in low- and medium-income households across the country unlock lower utility bills, more comfortable homes, and emissions reductions. “Clean Energy Canada welcomes this announcement and delivery of this program in British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as a step in the Government of Canada’s broader commitment to electrify one…
CNET’s deals team and I spend all week tracking discounts from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart and more to separate the real bargains from the inflated sales.

Whether you’re shopping for new tech, home upgrades or everyday essentials, these are the deals worth adding to your cart. This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide to everything you need…
Medical imaging sits at the intersection of clinical urgency and technical complexity, making medical imaging software development one of the most demanding areas of healthcare IT. A Mayo Clinic study published in Academic Radiology found that, based on 255 eight-hour workdays per year, radiologists must review one image every three to four seconds to meet workload demands. And imaging volumes continue to rise as populations age and diagnostic protocols expand. At the same time, physician burnout, radiologist shortages, and the sheer cost of diagnostic errors put real pressure on healthcare systems across the globe. However, in recent years, there has…
retrieves the stats (clapCount, voterCount, responseCount, and readingTime) of Medium postsPhoto by Ryoji Iwata on UnsplashIn this article, I will explain how to retrieve the stats ( claps count, voter count, response count, and reading time) of Medium feed posts using a REST API, the lack of this feature in the Medium RSS feed is what motivated me to create this advanced Medium API. This is my 41st Medium article.Initial IntuitionI wanted to obtain the stats ( claps count, voter count, response count, and reading time) of my Medium posts while working on my personal website development. 2 years before when I implement…
A gold-enhanced nanowire photodetector embedded in a soft contact lens may bring continuous eyelid oxygen monitoring closer, while keeping the technology firmly in the preclinical stage. Study: A smart contact lens with plasmonic nano-confinement nanowire array for non-invasive ocular blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Image credit: AI-generated image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI In a recent ‘Article in Press’ published in the journal npj Flexible Electronics, researchers developed a smart contact lens incorporating a plasmonic nano-confinement nanowire array embedded with gold nanoparticles to enable high-sensitivity, non-invasive eyelid-capillary blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Nano-Enabled Ocular SpO2 Sensing Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is a vital physiological…
