A distant exoplanet appears to sport a sooty atmosphere that is confusing the scientists who recently spotted it.The Jupiter-size world, detected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), doesn’t have the familiar helium-hydrogen combination we are used to in atmospheres from our solar system, nor other common molecules, like water, methane or carbon dioxide.Rather, the planet seems to have soot clouds near the top of the atmosphere that condense into diamonds deeper in the atmosphere. This kind of overall atmosphere, which is made of helium and carbon, has never been spotted on another planet. What’s even weirder is that its…

For example, researchers at Imperial College were investigating how certain “pirate phages”—these fascinating viruses that hijack other viruses—manage to break into bacteria. Understanding these mechanisms could open up entirely new ways of tackling drug-resistant infections, which is obviously a huge global health challenge.What Co-scientist brought to this work was the ability to rapidly analyze decades of published research and independently arrive at a hypothesis about bacterial gene transfer mechanisms that matched what the Imperial team had spent years developing and validating experimentally.What we’re really seeing is that the system can dramatically compress the hypothesis generation phase—synthesizing vast amounts of literature…

From a distance, it might have looked like a small child was wending her way through the waving grass along a vast lake. But a closer look would have revealed a strange, in-between creature — a big-eyed imp with a small head and an apelike face who walked upright like a human.She may have looked warily over her shoulder as she walked, on alert for saber-toothed cats or hyenas. She may have used her strong arms to climb the shrubby trees nearby, searching for fruit, eggs, or insects to eat. Or perhaps she simply rested on the shores of the…

Ahead of CES 2026, Samsung has unveiled a number of impressive gaming monitors that flaunt 3D and very high refresh rates. The headliner is the 32-inch Odyssey 3D, “the world’s first 6K display with glasses free 3D,” according to Samsung. Along with the high resolution, it offers a 165Hz refresh rate (boosted to 330Hz through Dual Mode), along with a 1ms GtG response time. Optimized 3D effects that enhance terrain, distance and object separation “beyond 2D” will work with featured games like Stellar Blade and The First Berserker: Khazan,” according to Samsung.Another model, the 27-inch Odyssey G6, brings refresh rates…

For years, the cost of using “free” services from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and other Big Tech firms has been handing over your data. Uploading your life into the cloud and using free tech brings conveniences, but it puts personal information in the hands of giant corporations that will often be looking to monetize it. Now, the next wave of generative AI systems are likely to want more access to your data than ever before.Over the past two years, generative AI tools—such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini—have moved beyond the relatively straightforward, text-only chatbots that the companies initially released. Instead,…

OK, hear me out. Christmas might be contained in its dread North Pole tomb until it bursts free next year and once again unleashes festive hell on earth, but we are still very much in the midst of the holiday season. This means that many of us, myself included, remain under our relatives’ roofs, or they’re under ours, possibly until the year is over. This article was originally published on Dec 26, 2017.  To pass the time, I’ve been playing 2016’s Doom on the Switch. I tend to lose myself in a game or two every holiday season, but never…

Creating a child-friendly iPad takes a few extra steps, but Apple’s tools make the process relatively straightforward. From creating a child’s Apple ID to adjusting Screen Time and privacy settings, you can shape how your child uses the device and protect them from inappropriate content. The process varies slightly depending on whether the iPad is new or already in use, but the principles are the same: set up a managed account, connect it to Family Sharing and fine-tune the controls that keep your child’s digital space safe.Create an Apple ID for your childEvery kid using an iPad should have their…

What if a single blood test could determine whether you had one of 14 types of cancer?That’s the question posed by a study published in November in the journal Cancer. Conducted by researchers at the cancer detection-test company Exact Sciences, the paper models how cancer care for five million U.S. adults might be changed by easy access to blood tests designed to spot many cancers — known as multicancer early detection (MCED) liquid biopsy tests.The study suggests the tests could save lives by catching cancer at earlier stages, when it’s more easily treated. It predicted that, over a decade of…

The subwoofer is no joke, at about 13 x 16 inches and 18 pounds, but it’s not something you’ll need to move once you get it set up, and it contributes massively (pun intended) to the depth and breadth of the Bar 500MK2’s sound. With a 10-inch driver, it’s more than enough to get to its claimed 40-Hz floor.Controls on the bar are minimal, with volume and input buttons hidden in the center of the matte black bar, and an included remote that lets you adjust settings. There is a convenient LED screen hidden inside the right front of the…
