Today’s neural implants are smaller than ever, but often remain cumbersome and prone to complications. According to researchers at Cornell University, a new iteration detailed this week in the journal Nature Electronics may offer a novel path forward for brain implants. Small enough to fit on a grain of rice, the microscale optoelectronic tetherless electrode (or MOTE) is vastly smaller than similar implants and its design could be adapted to work in other delicate areas of the body. “As far as we know, this is the…
Black Friday will be here before you know it, but you can already save on some sought-after tech. Case in point: the new Apple Watch SE 3. Apple’s most affordable smartwatch is even cheaper right now, down to just $200.We consider this to be the best budget Apple Watch, and arguably the best smartwatch for folks who have never owned one before.

No Man’s Sky continues to grow and expand with the seemingly endless updates developer Hello Games continues to toss out for free. Lately, user-made ships have been all the rage. The range of options now available for a custom spacecraft has led to some stunning original creations as well as tributes to classic ships from other science fiction franchises. But Tosk, an NMS fan who’s been playing the game since launch, recently took to recreating not a ship, but a key location found in Studio Ghibli’s classic animated film, My Neighbor Totoro. Check out Tosk’s video walkthrough of his creation…
Under the hood, the system features appropriately high-end specs, including an Intel Core Ultra 9 288V CPU, 32 GB of RAM, a 1-terabyte solid state drive for storage, not to mention graphics courtesy of a mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. This is one of the most decked-out laptops I’ve tested to date, and performance was solid, though surprisingly and disappointingly not even close to record-breaking on any benchmark I threw at it (including productivity and AI tasks).Results were generally in line with high-end business- or creative-focused laptops of recent vintage, but with the added benefit of being able to…

With less than one percent the atmosphere as Earth, some meteoroids fail to burn up entirely before reaching the Red Planet’s surface. When they do, they can usher dramatic changes to the barren Martian landscape that stretch for miles. In the future, they may even cause problems for human explorers. The results of these events are detailed in a study published on November 6 in the journal Nature Communications by researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) and…
A VPN subscription can make for a good holiday gift. Everyone could do with having a VPN to help protect their online activity from prying eyes (and, perhaps, access more things to watch from their favorite streaming services). It’s something useful that a gift recipient may have never realized they needed. Of course, you may be looking for a great deal on a VPN yourself, and the Black Friday discount for Proton VPN is nothing to sniff at. You can get two years of access to the VPN Plus tier of the service for $59.76, which works out to $2.49…

Engage in active play for at least 30 minutes a day, whether that be with a wand toy, laser (just make sure to reward them after their “hunt”), or whatever toy they like best. (Check out my full guide to my favorite interactive cat toys for even more recommendations.)Same as with dogs, use puzzle toys or lick mats for dry kibble or wet food. It helps to engage them if they have to work for their food, and it slows pets who tend to eat quickly. I sometimes will just throw freeze-dried treats around for them to sniff out and…
