If you want to step up your photography game, and graduate from your phone, why not go all the way to the highest-resolution camera on the market? Normally, we suggest that a more affordable camera might be the best pick for most people in our guide to mirrorless cameras, but at this price—why not go big?Courtesy of SonyThe massive 61-megapixel, full-frame sensor in the A7R V is the largest sensor you can get without jumping into medium format (which is significantly more expensive and bulkier). If that’s not enough, there’s actually an even higher-resolution possibility that combines 16 shots into…

A surgically implanted chip and augmented-reality glasses are helping some people who have lost sight to read again.In a small trial, about 80% of people who had lost vision due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were able to read letters and words a year after receiving the treatment, according to a study published Monday (Oct. 20) in The New England Journal of Medicine.”In the history of artificial vision, this represents a new era,” study co-author Mahi Muqit, an ophthalmologist at University College London and the Moorfields Eye Hospital in the U.K., said in a statement. “Blind patients are actually able…
On September 19, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement made a $61,218 payment for “guided missile warheads and explosive components,” according to the Product and Service Code (PSC) included in the payment record on a federal contracting database.“This award provides multiple distraction devices to support law enforcement operations and ICE- Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs,” the record’s description section reads.The Substack Popular Information mentioned this payment in a Monday article, which focused on the fact that ICE spending in the “small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing” product category increased by 700 percent between 2024 and 2025. (Spending increased by…

Like cosmic toddlers, galaxies in the young universe were messy and had difficulty settling down, a new study shows.Using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists peered at more than 250 galaxies in the early universe. The research team charted the movement of gas long ago, when the universe was growing up — between 800 million and 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. (The cosmos is roughly 13.8 billion years old.)Their findings, published Tuesday (Oct. 21) in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, show that galaxies were restless in their youth.

On Wednesday, Tinder announced that it is rolling out a mandatory facial verification tool for new users in the US to help combat the spread of fake profiles and weed out “bad actors.”Tinder claims its mandatory facial integration feature, called Face Check, is a first for a major dating app. During the sign-up process, new members complete a “liveness check” by taking a short video selfie within the app. The procedure collects and stores an encrypted map of information about the shape of the user’s face. “We don’t store a picture of your face, it’s not photo recognition, it’s data…

Google scientists have created a new algorithm that can solve problems on a quantum processor 13,000 times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputers. They say it brings us one step closer to using quantum computers in drug discovery, materials science and many other scientific applications.The researchers say the new algorithm, dubbed Quantum Echoes, is a breakthrough because it achieves quantum advantage while being the first such algorithm that can be verified independently by running it on another quantum computer.The Quantum Echoes algorithm achieved its superfast result in a benchmarking experiment run on Google’s Willow quantum processing unit (QPU). The researchers…
Tesla might be an electric auto maker, but CEO Elon Musk has made clear that he thinks of it as much more: an innovator in artificial intelligence and software, a builder of world-shaking robots. He’s also argued that Tesla should be worth a lot more than it is today: up to $20 trillion, he posted in July, more than five times the current worth of Nvidia.Musk has also made it clear that he wants to get paid, a lot. In November, Tesla shareholders will vote on the board’s proposal to pay the CEO a remarkable $1 trillion over the next…
