For anyone who relies on wireless earbuds on a daily basis, struggling to be heard on a phone call can be an all-too-familiar frustration. Whether you’re navigating a busy street or just dealing with ambient chatter, background noise can make clear communication nearly impossible. When developing the new Galaxy Buds4 Pro, Samsung focused heavily on completely reimagining how an earbud captures and transmits the human voice. Their first objective was to develop a brand-new Sensor Fusion technology — ensuring a user’s speech can cut through the noise with absolute clarity. What Is Sensor Fusion and How Is It Important for…

There is something that you realize really quickly when you start programming games, and it’s that materials are coded differently than anything else. They work almost in mysterious ways that can often be hard to describe and the code is often very dense c style code that doesn’t shed any light on how or why something works the way it does.Enter Shader Graphs, Unity’s latest attempt to help alleviate some of the mystery and confusion around how shaders work. This feature is recently out of preview and has a wide array of features that aim to shift how shaders are made.…

Limits on the speed of quantum algorithms are not quite as rigid as previously thought, according to new research Artistic illustration of computational speedup (Credit: iStock/agsandrew) Quantum computers promise to simulate physical systems far beyond the reach of classical machines. But even quantum algorithms face fundamental limits: no fast-forwarding theorems. These say that if you want to simulate a system for longer, the computational effort increases at least in proportion. In many real algorithms, the situation is even worse than the ideal case. This is because the requirements of accuracy and runtime compound one another, so that running longer and…

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…
