How to Claim Your Cut of Apple’s $250 Million Siri Settlement
Apple may pay out up to $95 for each eligible iPhone purchased by someone who felt misled about Siri’s release. You have until December 21 to submit a claim.
MIT’s tiny flying robot gets 450% faster with AI
A new AI control system lets MIT’s tiny flying robot move with insect-like agility, boosting its speed by about 450 percent and allowing it to pull off 10 somersaults in 11 seconds. The technology could eventually enable miniature robots to search earthquake rubble and navigate dangerous spaces that conventional drones cannot reach.
Scientists develop real-time AI monitoring for an advanced nuclear reactor component
Just as a clogged kitchen sink can bring household routines to a halt, a blockage in a nuclear reactor’s heat exchanger can slow operations and require urgent attention. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are now using artificial intelligence to spot these hidden clogs early. This approach will help molten-salt-cooled …

AI, Tariffs, Rare Minerals: What to Expect From Trump’s Upcoming Summit With Xi Jinping
Washington and Beijing have grown ever more linked in the AI boom, making hardware exports and technological restrictions hefty bargaining chips in negotiations.
Toward physical AI: When the hardware becomes the neural network
Digital computing using silicon chips has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life and enabled the remarkable growth of artificial intelligence. But as AI models scale up, that growth comes with increasing demands for energy, water and computing infrastructure.
Thermacell LIV 2.0 Review: Taking My Yard Back
Thermacell LIV 2.0 is expensive and imperfect, but it outperforms nearly every mosquito-control method I’ve tried.
Forget the AI Slowdown—the Vulnerability Explosion Is Already Happening
AI labs are toying with an industry-wide pact to slow development. Meanwhile, widely available AI chatbots are already helping uncover a tidal wave of security flaws.
Will AI models achieve the ability to improve autonomously? Leading labs say the scenario is near
Once a distant ambition for technology researchers, the prospect of artificial intelligence models teaching themselves autonomously to be more efficient and capable appears ever closer to reality.
Apple Watch Ultra 4 Review: The Series 12 Is Closing the Gap
The Ultra 4 gets smarter about health tracking and lasts longer between charges. But for most people, the Series 12 gets close enough.
Cost-conscious method helps design automated materials labs before equipment is purchased
A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a new modeling and optimization framework that helps researchers design modularized autonomous experimentation (MAE) platforms for new materials by determining the optimal combination of equipment before construction begins, thereby reducing time and cost before the platform is physically built.
