Noctua’s super-quiet fan line gets a big air-moving update.

Dude! Where’s my stuff?

One of the more promising classes of materials for next-generation batteries and electronic devices are the organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors, OMIECs for short. These soft, flexible polymer semiconductors have promising electrochemical qualities, but little is known about their molecular microstructure and how electrons move through them—an important knowledge gap that will need to be addressed to bring OMIECs to market.

Too warm with a jacket on but too cold without it? Athletic apparel brands boast temperature-controlling fabrics that adapt to every climate with lightweight but warm products. Yet, consider a fabric that you can adjust to fit your specific temperature needs.

As is their tradition at this time of year, Apple announced a new line of iPhones last week. The promised centerpiece that would make us want to buy these new devices was AI—or Apple Intelligence, as they branded it. Yet the reaction from the collective world of consumer technology has been muted.

Microsoft will still continue its HoloLens work with the US Army.

週二，索尼的 PlayStation Network 癱瘓了幾個小時，讓世界各地的遊戲玩家感到沮喪，他們抱怨無法登入自己的帳戶。

Artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to permeate many facets of the human experience. AI is not just a tool for analyzing data—it's transforming the way we communicate, work and live. From ChatGPT through to AI video generators, the lines between technology and parts of our lives have become increasingly blurred.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday inaugurated US firm IBM's first quantum data center in Europe, saying Germany aims to be at the forefront of the revolutionary technology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new interesting opportunities for the music industry, for instance, enabling the development of tools that can automatically generate musical compositions or specific instrument tracks. Yet most existing tools are designed to be used by musicians, composers and music producers, as opposed to non-expert users.

Imaging microscopic samples requires capturing multiple, sequential measurements, then using computational algorithms to reconstruct a single, high-resolution image. This process can work well when the sample is static, but if it's moving—as is common with live, biological specimens—the final image may be blurry or distorted.

From current on-road vehicles to future electrified aircraft, the safety and reliability of energy storage systems is critical across battery applications. Before entering the market, all battery systems undergo thorough reviews and certifications to confirm they operate safely in both routine and extreme conditions, including fluctuating temperatures, repeated charging and discharging, and a full range of driving cycles.

莫納什大學和塔斯馬尼亞大學的研究表明，除非澳洲在採礦業採用人工智慧，否則澳洲可能會失去其在用於清潔能源、電動車和太陽能電池的關鍵和稀有礦物方面的世界領先優勢。

This sharp drop, compared to the previous year, signals the war's significant impact on one of Israel's most vital industries.

Google plans to invest $1 billion to build digital infrastructure in Thailand, including a new data center, the US tech giant has announced, saying the move would support 14,000 jobs in the kingdom.

A leading tech industry group on Tuesday called on G7 nations to harmonize cloud security certification across the world's richest nations, in an effort to stoke cooperation and counter calls that data should stay within national borders.

Facebook 母公司 Meta 週二表示，該公司將在越南生產下一代虛擬和擴增實境耳機，從而創造 1000 多個就業機會。

Whenever I publish something about my Python Docker workflows, I invariably get challenged about whether it makes sense to use virtual environments in Docker containers. As always, it’s a trade-off, and I err on the side of standards and predictability.

Mars presents a highly complex natural environment, characterized by a variety of gas components—95.32% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, 0.13% oxygen, and 0.08% carbon monoxide—as well as extreme temperature fluctuations, with day-to-night temperature differences of about 60 °C.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill aimed at regulating powerful artificial intelligence models following pushback from tech giants and critics who argued the law went too far.
