When Apple introduced the iPhone X last year, it practically made notch display designs cool, convincing everyone in the business to copy it. Deniers out there will claim that inconsequential phones from Sharp and Essential are the phone designs that inspired the notch movement, but that’s hardly what’s going on here. Everyone, but Samsung, copied […]
Earlier this month, we saw two Motorola smartphones pass through the FCC which we assumed were the Moto G7 and G7 Plus. Now, thanks to a filing on the FCC website found by Droid-Life, we have real-life photos of the Moto G7 Play and details about the handset’s internals. First, looking at the exterior of […]
We’ve seen plenty of good deals on Google’s recently-released Home Hub smart display this Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend.

Google has taken swift action after it was discovered that more than a dozen apps that install malware on user devices were found in the Google Play store.

The Guardian has learned that Google recently settled a racial discrimination claim from a British contractor who collected shopping mall WiFi data for the Maps team in Europe. Allegedly, the company withdrew an offer for a […]
Researchers from the CNRS and Université de Sherbrooke, have discovered a universal law for the electronic properties of high-temperature superconductors. They exposed superconductors to an intense magnetic field to weaken superconductivity and reveal underlying properties. They measured the variations of electrical resistivity up to -263 °C, and developed a predictive model that can be applied […]
A Chinese scientist is claiming to have helped create the world’s first genetically edited babies after a couple gave birth earlier this month to two twin girls whose DNA was engineered to have the capability to thwart off HIV and AIDS. Jiankui He, the lead researcher, and a team of scientists at the Southern University […]
Some of the big tech companies leading the way when it comes to foldable phones aren’t exactly flexing their creative muscles when it comes to choosing a name for their novel handsets. Ok, granted, there are probably only so many naming conventions that accurately convey what you as a consumer are getting when you buy […]

In recent reports, one of many disappointed Fallout 76 players contacted Bethesda for a refund on the disastrous and catastrophic online survival-RPG Fallout 76 (and those aren’t just one man’s words). Although Bethesda promised a refund, they bailed out the next day with an unconvincing excuse. A lot has been going on with Bethesda and […]
For the last decade, scientists have been making giant leaps in their ability to build and control systems based on the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, which describe the behavior of particles at the subatomic scale. But a challenge is getting delicate quantum systems to play well with mechanical ones—anything with moving parts—which underlie a […]
