Scientists have identified a tipping point that has amplified El Niño’s effect on sea ice loss in the Arctic.For years, researchers have known of a feedback loop linking the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and sea ice coverage at high latitudes. But in a new study, researchers found that since around the year 2000, faster transitions between phases of ENSO have a stronger influence on ice loss northeast of Russia. These changes lead to warmer, wetter weather in the region and less sea ice coverage during the fall following the transition.The results of the new study could help improve predictions of…

It’s the year 2026 and the hottest game in my living room is Fruit Ninja. No, I’m not in the midst of an ill-advised retro mobile gaming kick. Instead, my family and I have been jumping around and slicing flying fruit in our living room using the Nex Playground. It’s a tiny gaming system built entirely around Kinect-like games. With its camera and onboard computer vision processing, the $249 Nex Playground can track up to four players as effectively as Microsoft’s clunky old Xbox motion tracker. Simply put, the dream of the Kinect, as well as Nintendo’s Wii, lives on…

Carr fires back at California Carr wrote in his response to Newsom that the FCC Inspector General report “specifically identified the tens of thousands of people that were enrolled AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY DIED.” The Inspector General report wasn’t quite so certain that the number is in the tens of thousands, however. The report said that “at least 16,774 (and potentially as many as 39,362) deceased individuals were first enrolled and claimed by a provider after they died.” The Inspector General’s office could not determine “whether the remaining 22,588 deceased subscribers were first claimed before or after their deaths as the…

Wireless Power Beaming: Unleashing the Power of Autonomy at Scale – YouTube Watch On A new technology shoots laser beams at drones to charge them in midair, thus unlocking the possibility of “infinite flight.”Representatives from PowerLight Technologies say the system works by pairing a ground-based transmitter with a receiver on the drone, also known as an unmanned aerial system (UAS). The transmitter combines advanced software designed to provide precise control of the laser beam with hardware that can sustain power transmission on a scale of kilowatts — or thousands of watts — according to the company. For comparison, typical lab…

Garmin announced the tactix 8 Cerakote Edition, a tactical smartwatch targeting military personnel and outdoor professionals who need reliable gear in harsh conditions. The 51mm watch has a 1.4-inch AMOLED display with sapphire lens protection and a titanium bezel. A built-in LED flashlight handles low-light situations. Battery life reaches 29 days in smartwatch mode, reducing how often users need to charge during long missions. The Cerakote finish is this model’s main feature. Garmin applies the ceramic-polymer coating by spraying each watch and baking it to cure. The coating resists abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals. Over time, it develops a worn look…

Blue Origin has “paused” its New Shepard program for the next two years, a move that likely signals a permanent end to the suborbital space tourism initiative. The small rocket and capsule have been flying since April 2015 and have combined to make 38 launches, all but one of which were successful, and 36 landings. In its existence, the New Shepard program flew 98 people to space, however briefly, and launched more than 200 scientific and research payloads into the microgravity environment. So why is Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos more than a quarter of a century ago, ending…

Gaming phones are no longer just about raw power, but they’re about how much performance you actually get for your money. The RedMagic 11 Air and ASUS ROG Phone 9 sit at opposite ends of that debate. One delivers flagship gaming hardware at an aggressively low price, while the other asks nearly double for polish, durability, and extras beyond pure performance.  On paper, they share the same elite chipset, but in real use, their priorities couldn’t be more different. This comparison looks past branding and price tags to answer a simple question: Does paying twice as much really make a…
