Galaxy Note 9 deals too pricey for you? Here are five cheaper alternatives
There exist in this world the kind of people that are going to pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and to hell with the price tag. You know that. Samsung knows that. We know that. But everybody else is looking at that AED 3,699 or AED 4,599 pre-order prices and thinking there’s no way […]
Why a tiny Palm phone comeback makes sense in a Note 9 world
Heidi Klum was only half correct on Project Runway. It’s true that one day you’re in and the next day, you’re out. But a few years after that? You could be in again. That pendulum swing applies not just in fashion — though I refuse to believe that pleated pants deserve a comeback — but […]
How to prevent distracting gadgets from ruining your vacation
Modern gadget-obsessed humans find it hard to switch off, even on vacation: Apparently, more than half of working adults, especially younger ones, will interrupt a break to check on what’s happening at the office. Besides the temptation to stay on top of work emails, social media’s never-ending updates makes it hard to disconnect. Even if […]
First particle accelerator beam measurement in six dimensions
The first full characterization measurement of an accelerator beam in six dimensions will advance the understanding and performance of current and planned accelerators around the world. A team of researchers led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville conducted the measurement in a beam test facility at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory using […]
Mini antimatter accelerator could rival the likes of the Large Hadron Collider
Researchers have found a way to accelerate antimatter in a 1000x smaller space than current accelerators, boosting the science of exotic particles. The new method could be used to probe more mysteries of physics, like the properties of the Higgs boson and the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and provide more sensitive testing […]
Novel approach keeps liquids from freezing at very low temperatures for extended periods
Investigators from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Engineering in Medicine (MGH-CEM) have developed a simple method to maintain water and water-based solutions in a liquid state at temperatures far below the usual “freezing point” for greatly extended periods of time. While they currently have accomplished this for volumes of only a few ounces, their […]
Facebook now requiring Pages with large US audiences to go through additional authorization
Facebook today announced it’s implementing a new measure to secure Facebook Pages with large U.S. followings in order to make it harder for people to administer a Page using a “fake or compromised account.” Beginning with those that have large U.S. followings, some Facebook Pages will now have to go through a “Page Publishing Authorization” […]

Palm’s new Android phone just leaked and we have so many questions
Palm, the PDA company that once made a smartphone operating system that was better than iOS, is back. Kinda. The Palm name is back, tacked onto an Android phone from manufacturer TCL, and Android Police has the leaked details. According to their source, Palm’s new Android phone is tiny, has a pitiful battery, and really […]
iPhone X outperforms Samsung’s brand new 6.4-inch Galaxy Note 9
Earlier today, Samsung officially unveiled its brand new (and oft-leaked) Galaxy Note 9 with a 6.4-inch display. While Samsung touts the device’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB or 8GB of RAM under-the-hood, but earlier benchmarks show the device is still outperformed by the iPhone X… As highlighted by Tom’s Guide, who tested the Galaxy […]
Novel approach to coherent control of a three-level quantum system
For the first time, researchers were able to study quantum interference in a three-level quantum system and thereby control the behavior of individual electron spins. To this end, they used a novel nanostructure in which a quantum system is integrated into a nanoscale mechanical oscillator in form of a diamond cantilever. Nature Physics has published […]
