A laser hit the tiny black cube, and it lurched forward almost at once. That split-second jump, caught during a zero-gravity arc aboard a parabolic flight, points to a strange and promising idea for space travel. A class of ultralight graphene aerogels, when illuminated under microgravity, can turn light into motion with surprising force. In the experiment, the material accelerated so quickly that the main burst was over in about 30 milliseconds. “The reaction was fast and furious. Before you could even begin to blink, the graphene aerogels experienced large accelerations. It was all over in 30 milliseconds,” said Marco Braibanti, ESA’s project scientist for the experiment, Light-driven propulsion of...

*insert Godzilla screeching sound* Here's the very first look at the next big kaiju feature. Godzilla Minus Zero will continue the story of 2023's Godzilla Minus One, which returned the franchise to the more grounded tone established in the original film, and while the new teaser trailer doesn't show a whole lot, it suggests some big things for the series.
Minus Zero is set in 1949, two years after the first movie, "and continues the story of the Shikishima family as they face an all-new calamity," according to the official logline. Apparently that includes shifting the setting from Tokyo to New York, as we see Godzilla right next to the St …

In many ways, the HP OmniBook 5 is a better budget laptop than the MacBook Neo, especially when the discounts are strong.

As a company, Fluke has been making electronic test equipment longer than the bipolar junction transistor has been around for. In that time they’ve developed a fairly stellar reputation for quality and consistency, but like any company they don’t support their products indefinitely. [ogdento] owns a Fluke meter that isn’t nearly as old as the BJT but still has an age well outside of the support window, and since the main problem was the broken LCD display they set about building a replacement for this retro multimeter.
Initially, [ogdento] had plans to retrofit this classic multimeter with a modern OLED, but could not find enough space for the display or a way to drive it easily. The next attempt to get...

Microsoft is reportedly ending production of its Surface Hub 3 collaborative office display and canceling plans for a Surface Hub 4, according to Windows Central. The extra-large digital whiteboard that included its own built-in PC was originally announced in 2015 ahead of the launch of Windows 10 and came in two sizes, 50 inches and 85 inches, priced at $8,000 and $20,000, respectively. It has outlasted former Surface leader Panos Panay, who left for Amazon in 2023, and other gone-but-not-forgotten Surface hardware like the Surface Studio all-in-one, Surface Duo, and Surface headphones.
Microsoft gave the Surface Hub line a few updates ove …

The United States' foreign router ban didn't make a whole lot of sense, and today may not change that. The FCC has just granted Netgear a conditional approval to import its future consumer routers, cable modems, and cable gateways into the US through October 1st, 2027 - even though the company builds those devices in Asia and has not announced any plan to bring manufacturing to the United States. Neither the FCC's announcement nor Netgear's announcement explain why Netgear was granted the temporary exemption. The FCC only states that the Pentagon has now made "a specific determination" that "such devices do not pose risks to U.S. national …

Summary: Rising rates of psychiatric diagnoses in wealthy countries have fueled claims of a growing mental health crisis, but this trend is in large part a byproduct of greater mental health awareness. Subjective psychiatric standards—combined with expanded diagnostic criteria—have blurred the line between normal human struggles and clinical disorders. Healthcare incentives, such as those in the US, often encourage overdiagnosis by rewarding providers for labeling and treating more patients rather than ensuring accurate or necessary care. Overdiagnosis is a problem of prosperity—but preferable to underdiagnosis, and solvable with the right incentives. According to the World Health Organization, more than...

The number on the clock in Sydney was 19.67, and that alone was enough to put Gout Gout in rare company. The 18-year-old Australian sprinter ran 200 meters faster on Sunday than Usain Bolt ever did before turning 20, producing one of the most eye-catching performances of the track season so far. Gout’s run came at the Australian Championships, where he surged away from the field in the closing stretch to win the national title. He got out of the blocks well enough, then made up ground and kept building speed, finishing well clear of the pack. His time of 19.67 set a world under-20 record, pending ratification by World Athletics. It also broke Bolt’s best under-20 mark of 19.93, which the Jamaican great ran...

Oh sure, you’ve got calculators. There’s that phone program of course, and the one that comes with your OS, and the TI-86 and possibly RPN numbers you’ve had since high school.
But what you don’t have is a Flapulator, at least not until you build one. Possibly the be-all, end-all of physical calculating devices, the Flapulator does its calculating live on a split-flap display. It’s kind of slow and the accuracy is questionable, but the tactility is oh, so good.
This baby boasts a 6-digit display, where the decimal point and negative sign each require one digit. Inside is a Raspberry Pi Pico, which can calculate for around 4 hours on a full charge. But the coolest part (aside from the split-flap...

Amazon has switched on its semi-regular three for $33 sale for a large batch of 4K Blu-ray movies. As usual, there are too many to list individually, though it’s a comprehensive mix of old and new flicks that should keep physical media fans scrolling for a minute. The steps to get in on the deal are the same as ever: add three titles from the sale page to your cart, and each item will be price-adjusted at checkout for a total of $33. The deal also works if you add six eligible movies to your cart. These sales are always a good opportunity to add a permanent addition to your movie library, as opposed to hoping they’ll always be available on your preferred streaming services. Movies on 4K Blu-ray will look...

Amazon is offering Prime Video subscribers a way to get Apple TV Plus and Peacock Premium Plus at a discount. With a new bundle, subscribers can access all content from both services directly through Prime Video. The bundle includes both streaming services for $19.99 per month, as opposed to the total $29.98 per month it costs to buy each subscription separately. An active Amazon Prime membership is required to sign up for the bundle, though, which costs an extra $14.99 per month, making this option a bit pricier if you don't already have Prime. A matching bundle is also available for the same price directly from Apple TV or Peacock.

From laser cutters to 3D printers, having an exhaust duct at the back of a machine is a very common sight. However, these tend to be rather bulky, claiming many centimeters of precious space behind a machine even if you’d want to push it right up against a wall. This issue annoyed [TheNeedleStacker] over on YouTube so much that he had a poke at solving this problem with angled exhaust ducts, all hopefully without impairing its basic function.

Although there are some online offerings for angled exhaust port extenders, these do not quite fit the required 6″ diameter. Reducing the problem to just a matter of cross section area for simplicity’s sake,...

A warm spring can look harmless, even welcome. For a bee or wasp sealed inside a cocoon, it can be costly. That is the tension running through a new study of wild bees and wasps in Bavaria, where researchers found that higher post-winter temperatures pushed all five studied species to emerge earlier. But the earlier timing came with a price for some insects, especially those from cooler regions and those that still had to finish development in spring. In some cases, females of summer species lost up to 34 percent of their body mass under warmer conditions before emergence. The work, published in Functional Ecology, was led by Dr. Cristina Ganuza and Professor Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter of the University of...

The first trial - which saw members of Maradona's medical team accused of poor care - collapsed after a judge let cameras into the court.

Since the first court order late 2000’s, European countries have been at the forefront of pirate site-blocking efforts.
These blocking actions initially relied on measures that required Internet providers to restrict access to notorious pirate sites. More recently, however, blocking requirements have spread to other online intermediaries. For example, in several countries, blocking injunctions expanded to third-party DNS resolvers such as Cloudflare, OpenDNS and Google. Not much later, VPN services became a target, as these could also be used to circumvent blocking orders.
While major rightsholders argue these measures are effective and proportionate, critics highlighted overblocking incidents where...

Humanity first reached the moon in 1969. We went back a few times, then lost interest within three short years, and we haven’t been back since. NASA has just flew a quartet of astronauts around the moon last week, and hopes to touch lunar soil by 2028. But the American space program is no longer the only game in town.
China has emerged as another major player in the second race for the Moon. Having mastered human spaceflight 23 years ago, the country’s space program has been moving from strength to strength.

More teens are turning to AI companions for comfort, distraction, and a sense of connection. For some, that comfort seems to be hardening into something more troubling. A new Drexel University study, based on 318 Reddit posts from users who identified themselves as 13 to 17 years old, found repeated signs that some teens using Character.AI were struggling to pull away. In post after post, they described a pattern that started with boredom, loneliness, or emotional distress and then spilled into sleep problems, school struggles, damaged friendships, and a growing sense that the chatbot mattered more than it should. “This study provides one of the first teen-centered accounts of overreliance on AI...

Les pétromonarchies du Golfe ont identifié de longue date leur vulnérabilité au détroit d’Ormuz, mais n’ont quasiment pas préparé de voies alternatives. C’est ainsi que de vieux projets de contournement refont surface dans l’urgence. Le pays qui pourrait avoir le plus à y gagner est le Yémen.

Une étude décrit la scission en deux clans distincts du plus grand groupe de chimpanzés connu à ce jour. Mais surtout, elle montre la violence qui l’a accompagnée et se poursuit encore sans que les chercheurs en comprennent les raisons.

Le groupe de matériaux de construction, son ex-PDG, Bruno Lafont, , ainsi que sept autres anciens cadres ont été lourdement sanctionnés par la justice française lundi 13 avril. En 2013 et 2014, l’entreprise avait versé 5,6 millions d’euros à des groupes terroristes, notamment à l’État islamique. C’était “la première fois qu’une entreprise était jugée en France pour financement du terrorisme”, souligne la presse internationale.

Lasers are cool and all, but they can be somewhat difficult to control at times. This is especially true when you have hundreds, thousands, or millions of lasers you need to steer. Fortunately, the MITRE Corporation might have created exactly what’s needed to accomplish this feat. While you might expect this to be done in a similar fashion as a DLP micro mirror array, these researchers have created something a bit different.
A ski slope like a MEMS array is used to contort light as needed. Each slope is able to be controlled in such a way so precise that entire images are able to be displayed by the arrays. This is done by using a “piezo-opto-mechanical photonic integrated circuit” or (POMPIC). Each...

A drawing that riffs on the latest news and happenings.

A steel bar pivots. A spring stretches. Then, with a small shove, the whole setup flips into a new state and stays there until the next push. That simple motion sits at the heart of a mechanical computer built by researchers from St. Olaf College and Syracuse University, who designed a system that can perform basic computations without electricity, batteries, or a computer chip. Published in Nature Communications, the work turns an abstract idea from physics into a working platform made from rigid bars, steel rods, and ordinary springs. “We typically think of memory as something in a computer hard drive, or within our brains,” said Joey Paulsen, an associate professor of physics at St. Olaf College....

OBS Studio 32.1 est donc disponible, environ cinq mois après la 32.0, avec deux changements structurants pour les streamers et créateurs de contenu.
Tout d'abord, un mixeur audio entièrement repensé. Ensuite le support du simulcast WebRTC, qui change la donne pour quiconque diffuse en WHIP.
Le nouveau mixeur audio propose désormais des dispositions horizontale et verticale, un bouton dans la barre d'outils pour basculer de l'une à l'autre, et la mise en page verticale est devenue le défaut. Un bouton permet aussi d'activer ou couper le monitoring audio directement depuis le mixeur, sans passer par le menu des sources.
C'est un ajustement qui n'a l'air de rien, sauf qu'en live avec une dizaine de sources...

Linus Torvalds a officialisé Linux 7.0 le 12 avril, et le passage à la version 7 a d'ailleurs été expliquée. Torvalds a dit dans son mail de release qu'il préférait simplement incrémenter le numéro majeur quand les mineures dépassaient la dizaine, histoire de ne pas se retrouver avec un Linux 6.23. Pas de révolution philosophique, juste du bon sens de mainteneur donc.
Derrière cette numérotation, le noyau embarque quand même un paquet de nouveautés qui vont directement impacter les utilisateurs AMD, Intel et ARM64, sans parler d'une petite révolution côté système de fichiers XFS.
La grosse annonce, c'est surtout le nouveau daemon xfs_healer, géré par systemd, qui surveille en temps réel...

Figurez-vous que les agents IA sont désormais les premiers consommateurs des APIs Cloudflare, bien devant les développeurs humains. C'est en tous cas ce que l'éditeur déclare publiquement pour justifier une refonte importante de son outil en ligne de commande, Wrangler, et la sortie d'un nouveau CLI unifié baptisé sobrement "cf".
Le raisonnement est froid mais a du sens. Si les agents IA pilotent la plateforme, autant qu'ils aient un CLI qui ne les plante pas.
