The question on every video game investor and analyst’s lips during the recent Nintendo earnings Q&A was whether the Mario maker will have to raise the price of the Switch 2 due to spiking memory prices amid AI-fueled shortages. RAM is through the roof and graphics cards are getting delayed, but Nintendo is keeping a cool head through the market turmoil. “We are working to secure stable supplies of memory components by holding discussions from a long-term perspective with our business partners,” president Shuntaro Furukawa said this week. “As a result, the recent rise in memory prices did not have…
We found the iPhone Air to have a pretty decent battery life for such a thin-and-light phone, somewhere in the region of 27 hours if you’re continuously streaming video. But it’s still a phone, arguably your most used device on a daily basis, so you may need to top it up during the day if you’re using it constantly. That’s where Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe battery pack comes in, and it’s currently on sale for $79.AppleThis battery iPhone Air battery pack is $20 off right now. This accessory only works with the iPhone Air, but much like the phone it…

Octopuses and their cephalopod cousins have long fascinated biologists with their seemingly supernatural shapeshifting. The cephalopods rapidly change color and texture, blending into their surroundings and evading predators. This natural camouflage is a remarkable bit of biology that engineers have tried to replicate, albeit with limited success. But that may be changing. Researchers at Penn State say they’ve developed a new hydrogel material inspired by octopus skin that can encode images directly into its structure. The imprinted images then disappear and reappear when the…
Motorola has had a very formidable presence on the clamshell foldable phone market for years now, but it didn’t contend on the slightly more premium book-style foldable niche. The latter has been dominated by Samsung and a few other players. Well, this changes this year, as the Motorola Razr Fold is set to join the ranks of large foldables you can buy. That’s largely in preparation for the arrival of the foldable iPhone, which, if history repeats itself, could potentially dominate the industry in a couple of years’ time.The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is also coming later this year, and if…

The big game is one of the few instances now in the US where most people gather around the TV to watch the live event together. While the teams playing in Super Bowl 2026 are the true stars of the show (and Bad Bunny, of course), your TV is a pretty important part of the puzzle of putting together an excellent Super Bowl party. Maybe you’ve been thinking about replacing an aging set, or you’re itching for a full refresh of your home theater setup — either way, you’ll want to try to get a good deal on a new…
Google and Meta both deny the allegations in the complaint. “Providing young people with a safer, healthier experience has always been core to our work,” said Google spokesperson José Castañeda in a statement. “In collaboration with youth, mental health, and parenting experts, we built services and policies to provide young people with age-appropriate experiences, and parents with robust controls.”“For over a decade, we’ve listened to parents, worked with experts and law enforcement, and conducted in-depth research to understand the issues that matter most,” said Meta spokesperson Stephanie Otway in a statement. “We use these insights to make meaningful changes—like introducing…
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Winter is not for the faint of heart. In Moscow, January temperatures hover in the low teens. In New York City, skyscrapers turn Manhattan into a series of freezing wind tunnels. In Sapporo, Japan, the average snowfall is almost 200 inches each winter. Even so, humans have developed plenty of clever ways to wait out the cold. But what would happen if instead of bundling up inside with a hot chocolate, you were left in the frigid cold—just how cold can humans get and…
After being a very solid presence in the clamshell foldable market, Motorola has finally made an entry into the US foldable market, where it will contend with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Folds and Google’s Pixel Folds. The competition is heating up, which is normal to expect given that Apple is widely expected to reveal its own foldable iPhone later this year. But Google is also treating us to a foldable phone, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and that one would be a natural rival to the Motorola Razr Fold. How would the two devices compare against one another?Motorola Razr Fold vs Google Pixel 11…
