While Apple's first foldable iPhone Ultra will headline the September 9 launch, we're also expecting news about AirPods and HomePods.
Quantum theory says a vacuum isn’t truly empty, but proving it directly has remained out of reach. A new experiment using immensely powerful lasers could finally expose its hidden structure – and perhaps offer clues to dark matter
Polymeric materials, such as plastics and rubbers, are essential in everyday life. However, detecting where mechanical stress is concentrated inside them remains a challenge.
Researchers from Flinders University have found that flushing toilets can release aerosols and bioaerosols into the surrounding air, with some studies detecting particles at heights corresponding to adults' breathing zones.
Tsushima leopard cats are an endangered species found only on this isolated island. The most recent government survey estimated the population at around 150 individuals, and because domestic cats also inhabit the same landscape, introgression is a legitimate conservation concern.
The waters of the remote Scottish island of Jura have long been famous for making whiskey. Now, the island's rivers have helped geologists learn more about how rivers erode rocks, providing new evidence that what streams carry plays an important role in how they carve through landscapes.

I've found six deals from well-known retailers that offer the best value in today's Labor Day sales.
Purple teaming exposes hidden security gaps, prioritizes real risks, and proves defenses work against attackers.
Astronomers have detected extreme, never-before-seen behavior from a rare kind of pulsar and stumbled on a surprising link to one of astronomy's biggest current mysteries. Using 174 hours of radio observations, researchers detected PSR J1227-4853, a rapidly spinning neutron star known as a "transitional millisecond pulsar," which unleashes hundreds of ultrashort, ultrapowerful "giant pulses." Their paper was published in The Astrophysical Journal on July 31.
A new investigation says that LG TVs collect and transmit much more information than customers might expect.
Investment funds increasingly promise to deliver social or environmental benefits alongside financial returns. Regulators rightly ask whether these "impact investment" claims are accurate.
This is an "extremely serious crime" and an attack on Berlin, the government says.

You'll want a paid plan if you plan to do much with Grok.
The case against social media has become so well rehearsed that most people can easily merge it into ordinary conversation: It makes people lonely. It sorts them into camps. It hands them a room full of people who already agree with them and calls that a community.
Scientists have discovered that one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom is far more diverse and evolutionarily complex than previously known. An international team led by the University of Göttingen has reconstructed the evolutionary history of branching marine worms—rare annelids that live hidden inside sea sponges and whose bodies branch repeatedly into multiple posterior ends.
A technique used in prompt injection attacks has made it into phishing, Microsoft has warned.
Keeper is one of the best solutions to password storage and security, with up to 50% off across Personal, Family, and Business plans
When two black holes crash together and merge, the newly formed black hole rings like a bell, sending out gravitational waves with specific frequencies that fade over time. This brief, fading pattern of waves is called ringdown, and it may hold secrets about what is hiding around black holes.
Over the summer, Europe provided a stark new set of images of climate change. Wildfires raced across forests and grasslands, rivers and reservoirs dried up in droughts, and extreme heat disrupted everyday life.
I spent the last two weeks with the Kodak PixPro AZ653 superzoom (aka 'bridge') camera, and after using its 65x zoom, I'm not sure my 70-200mm pro lens will ever seem good enough again
