“Twenty crested ibises were released into the wild in Xiaolong Mountain, Tianshui city, Gansu province, on Sunday. This marks a new stage in the province's efforts to restore wild populations of the endangered bird, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. These crested ibises underwent strict rewilding training and health checks before being fitted with identification tags and released. The move is expected to help the species return to its historical distribution areas, expand its survival space in the wild, and improve the regional conservation network, the administration stated in a media release. In 1981, only seven wild individuals of the bird were discovered in Yangxian county,...

“Inside a cool, dimly lighted trailer where the quiet is broken mostly by the crackle of radio traffic, Abrin Vasquez drives a 40-ton bulldozer hundreds of yards away. Vasquez is remotely piloting a Caterpillar dozer spreading trash across the Marana Regional Landfill near Tucson, Ariz. He used to be out in the heat running the machine from the cab, a potentially dangerous job in the landfill’s rough, trash-filled terrain. Now, he is safely away from that in the control trailer, doing the same job from a virtual cab… What Vasquez and others are doing at the Marana landfill is likely a preview of the future of operating machinery in dusty and hazardous conditions. For Houston-based WM, the landfill’s...

“Solar overtook coal generation in the US electricity mix for the first month on record in May 2026, according to official monthly and preliminary hourly generation data analysed by global energy think tank Ember. Solar supplied a record 12.8% of US electricity, while coal fell to 12.2%, its fourth-lowest monthly share ever. In May 2026, solar generated an all-time high total of 45.5 TWh, exceeding output in May 2025 by 17% and surpassing the previous record set in July last year… Coal generation hit an all-time monthly low of 39.3 TWh in April 2026. Although coal output rose slightly to 43.4 TWh in May, it remained 11% below May 2025 levels. The modest rebound was outweighed by an increase in solar...

Washington and Beijing have grown ever more linked in the AI boom, making hardware exports and technological restrictions hefty bargaining chips in negotiations.

In the US, among other places, housing costs are skyrocketing. It can sometimes be difficult to get a feel for the scale of the issue and how it hits neighborhoods differently. [Justin Blinder] has designed a device to help people get a more visceral understanding of the problem.
In New York City, Citi Bikes are everywhere in the city’s transportation landscape. [Blinder] used a GPS module plugged into an ESP32S3 to vary the amount of resistance on one of these bikes by actuating the front brake with a servo. As a rider takes the bike through different neighborhoods, the resistance varies in proportion to the rent burden experienced there.
[Blinder] explains, “One of the main technical challenges was...

Detroit's END Studio revised the midcentury ranch house by raising the ceiling, knocking down walls, and bringing in lots of storage for books and records.When Chris Peters and Mary Angott commissioned architect Elise DeChard of Detroit’s END Studio to renovate their residence in West Bloomfield, Michigan it represented a full-circle moment—and a new chapter. Chris had grown up here playing baseball in the large backyard (afforded by the double-sized lot) and riding BMX bikes with friends to the nearby lake and canal. Now, as a musician, songwriter, and producer (he’s worked with Black Eyed Peas, Girls Aloud, and Kid Rock), he dreamed of space to store and play his extensive record collection.  Before:...

In fixating on a ubiquitous construction material, the cult-favorite documentarian’s debut feature film ends up tackling the fragile infrastructure of modern institutions.What happens when you spit out your gum onto a city sidewalk? If it doesn’t get stepped on and carried away, that wad of sticky, sugary glue becomes a part of your neighborhood. We’ve all seen it: grayish pavement blotches that, over time, have been pounded into a petrified sidewalk polka-dot.

Last week, GM announced a new software experience for its upcoming Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, including a new look for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the popular phone mirroring systems that the automaker made a big deal about removing from its electric vehicles in 2023. Naturally, this led to some confusion about whether GM was "bringing back" CarPlay and Android Auto to its vehicles. Yahoo Finance reported it that way, calling it an "about-face" by the automaker, while Apple Insider's headline boasted that GM "cave[d]" on its decision to remove the interface from its gas-powered vehicles. Even The Verge's own commenters were …

Nuclear power really hit its stride in the 1950s. In the post-war period, there was a rush to develop peaceful uses for splitting the atom, beyond its application as a weapon of war. Soon enough, nuclear reactors were hooking up to power grids and helping propel ships and submarines around the globe.
Eventually, this led to an obvious idea—what if a ship with a reactor could serve as a floating nuclear power station? That question would be answered in the mid-1960s, with an American project of some strategic importance. Whatever Floats Your Boat
You might think that the first floating nuclear power plant would have been a US or Soviet navy project, but you’d be quite wrong. Instead, it was actually the US...

Months after seemingly giving up on Destiny 2, Bungie now says it's planning to restore vaulted content in the game like campaigns, destinations, and raids. The decision reverses the Destiny Content Vault that Bungie created six years ago, controversially removing older content from Destiny 2 that players had paid to access.
"We understand that removing these experiences had a lasting impact on player trust and enjoyment of Destiny," admits Bungie. "We cannot change the decision we made, but we can acknowledge its impact and do the work to make it right by restoring these important parts of Destiny's history."

Coaxing a DVI signal out of a microcontroller to drive a DVI or HDMI screen has been possible for a while now, but limitations in what the devices can do has, in turn, placed a limit on the resolution that can be delivered. Now [Aaron Gayle] has broken through a barrier by generating 1080p video from an RP2350. The previous best from Raspberry Pi Pico-class microcontrollers was 720p, which an RP2040 could deliver. The 2350 is faster and has faster peripherals, but even then, to reach this resolution he had to overclock it to 372 MHz. For all the impressive achievement, there’s still a limitation. Lacking space for a framebuffer, he generates scanline by scanline, a technique we associate more with 8-bit...

Newegg is hosting a bundle that includes Microsoft’s wireless Xbox controller (in black) and a $50 digital Xbox gift card together for $80. Given that this model typically sits around $50 to $60 depending on the color you want, this is a fantastic value since it essentially knocks its price down to $30. Another way of thinking about it is you’re paying full price for the controller, but getting a big discount on the gift card.

In previous installments of this series we looked at how creating a DIY router using an e-waste-level PC has changed over the years, before attempting to boot OpenWrt for x86 on it. After an initial SD card booting failure on one system, another system with a newer mainboard – an Intel Board D2500CC – was used which happily booted OpenWrt from an SD card inserted into a USB card reader.
Unfortunately, OpenWrt didn’t see any usable Ethernet interfaces despite having no less than four Intel Ethernet controllers and two hooked up to active networks. After recently getting back to the project, I found out why both onboard Intel 82574L Ethernet controllers didn’t show up in OpenWrt: the drivers for the...

Today, I’m talking with Mark Gurman, who is the world’s best-sourced Apple reporter — both as Bloomberg’s chief Apple correspondent and the host of the upcoming podcast Power On.  Earlier this month, Apple hosted its annual iPhone hardware event, virtually every detail of which was reported ahead of time by Mark. But this event was special, for a number of reasons.  It was new Apple CEO John Ternus’ first major product launch since he took over for former CEO Tim Cook less than two weeks prior. It was also the debut of the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable smartphone. The timing of those two things was not at all coincidental, as you’ll hear Mark explain. Apple takes these hardware events —...

Plusieurs magistrats expérimentés souhaitent augmenter la pression judiciaire sur les acteurs de la société insulaire qui relaient les intérêts de la « voyoucratie » dans l’économie.

Much of science is performed through inference, with the readings on instruments, a flash of light in heavy water, or the results of parsing through terabytes of sensor data after a particle accelerator collision either backing up a proposed scenario or weakening its foundations. In the case of so-called dark matter, this is even more relevant, as we are talking about a proposed form of matter whose most pertinent feature is that it doesn’t interact with anything else except through gravity. This is where the wiggling of a levitating magnet may be the key to detecting it.
In this experimental setup by Rice University and Dutch researchers at the Leiden Institute, a tiny permanent magnet the size of a grain...
