Microsoft recently announced a new piece of hardware designed for businesses. It is a USB 4 dock priced at $200. It is an alternative to the current $300 Thunderbolt 4 dock. The user will have access to only three ports in the cheaper model, while the more expensive version offers six
Microsoft has launched new Copilot+ Surface devices for business. These aren't the same as the previous Surface devices because those had Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, which didn't interest many it business users. These new Surface machines now have Intel Core Ultra inside. Thin
Ever wondered how our brains quickly pick out the average face from a crowd? It turns out, age plays a big role in this trick our minds can do. Scientists discovered that when we see a group of faces, we can easily figure out the average face. But do different ages change how well we do this? Resea
Surface water is crucial for understanding and predicting disease spread, especially in monsoon-affected regions like India’s Western Ghats. Before the arrival of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions, optical remote sensing was used to map water availability. However, cloud cover often
The Justice Department, under new leadership, has made a surprising move by limiting prosecutions against people who block reproductive health clinics. In a memo, the department's chief of staff, Chad Mizelle, stated that these cases will only be pursued in exceptional situations. The memo also orde
Scientists have created a special film on copper surfaces that mimics sharkskin, giving it superpowers. This film, made through a process called chemical etching and formate passivation, protects the copper in several ways. First, it makes copper resistant to corrosion. When tested in seawater for 7
Imagine using your face to control your Chromebook. Google is making this a reality with Face control, an AI-powered feature that lets users navigate their device using facial gestures and expressions. This tool, initially revealed in December, is now rolling out to more users. Face control allows p
Ever wondered why some people are great at recognizing faces while others struggle? Scientists are exploring this mystery by looking at something called "face-space. " Imagine face-space as a map where each face has a spot. On this map, similar faces are close together, and very different faces are
Zinc might be the star of the future in energy storage, but it's been held back by some serious issues. Think dendrites, corrosion, and hydrogen bubbles – all messing up the party at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Scientists have found a clever way to turn the tables. They've figured out how t
Ever wondered how lasers could improve our dental implants? Well, scientists have been exploring this very idea. They used a special kind of laser, called a femtosecond laser, to change the surface of titanium implants. This laser can create tiny bumps and grooves on the implant's surface. These cha
