News and Updates: Apple iOS 26 delivers one of the biggest iPhone upgrades in years. The new Liquid Glass interface adds a translucent, holographic look, while Spatial Scenes uses AI to turn photos into dynamic 3D wallpapers. Major app redesigns include a cleaner Camera for one-handed use, a simplified Photos layout, customizable Messages with polls and chat backgrounds, and an upgraded Lock Screen. New Battery Settings now estimate charging times and debut Adaptive Power Mode (on iPhone 15 Pro+). But the flashy Liquid Glass design has drawn complaints of eye strain, dizziness, and legibility issues, with Apple offering accessibility tweaks as workarounds. Intel + Nvidia struck a $5B partnership that could reshape PCs. Nvidia bought a 4–5% stake in Intel, and the two are co-developing hybrid CPUs with Nvidia GPU chiplets connected via NVLink. These SoCs could boost AI PCs, power slimmer gaming laptops, and bring workstation-level performance to mini desktops — potentially blurring the line between integrated and discrete graphics. Nvidia + OpenAI announced a massive $100B investment deal. Nvidia will fund the buildout of 10 gigawatts of AI data centers using its upcoming Vera Rubin chips, more than doubling today's top AI hardware. The arrangement lets Nvidia recycle investment into chip sales while giving OpenAI infrastructure to push toward “superintelligence.” The deal lifted Nvidia's market cap to nearly $4.5T, the largest in the world. SpaceX Starlink filed to launch up to 15,000 new satellites to supercharge its direct-to-cell service. The move follows a $17B spectrum deal with EchoStar and will boost capacity 20-fold, enabling LTE-like performance for calls and messaging in dead zones. T-Mobile remains the US launch partner, but CEO Elon Musk hinted SpaceX could eventually sell mobile service directly, competing with carriers. Microsoft is injecting Copilot into all Microsoft 365 accounts, unless you manually use the Customization feature to stop the auto install.

Atheists have often claimed that the Bible makes no scientific predictions and therefore cannot be a valid source of knowledge about the universe. But this is simply unfounded. First, modern science as we understand it today did not exist thousands of years ago. To demand that our modern expectations should be imposed upon the text of Scripture is anachronistic eisegesis. It is our imposing our expectations and understanding into the texts of the Bible. But second, Psalm 19, written by King David some 3,000 years ago, tells us that the heavens are continually pouring forth speech and knowledge, day after day and night after night. Nowhere is this pouring forth more clearly demonstrated today than in the latest ground-based Simonyi Survey Telescope perched high atop the peak of El Peñón at an elevation of 8,799 feet. It is the main eye to the sky of the newly operational Vera C. Rubin Observatory in north central Chile. This technological marvel pulls down 20 terabytes of data, every night! Ten times the storage capacity size of most new computer hard drives or smart phones. Over the course of its proposed ten-year survey of the southern hemisphere, astronomers hope to collect some 500 petabytes of data in total! One petabyte is 1,000 terabytes. You can see more wonders and find out more about the telescope at the observatory's main website. https://rubinobservatory.org The image on this month's thumbnail comes from the observatory website.

Vera Rubin est l'astronome qui a apporté des preuves solides de l'existence de la matière noire. Dans les années 1970, elle a mesuré la vitesse de rotation des galaxies et découvert que les étoiles à leur périphérie se déplaçaient trop vite pour que la gravité visible puisse les retenir.Dans cette vidéo, nous retracerons sa carrière, ses découvertes et les implications de ses travaux. Ses mesures précises ont forcé la communauté scientifique à accepter que l'univers contient une masse invisible bien plus importante que la matière ordinaire.Nous verrons comment ses observations ont ouvert un champ de recherche immense sur la nature de la matière noire, et comment elles continuent d'inspirer la cosmologie contemporaine.

The Elephant in the Universe: 100-year search for dark matter Author: Govert Schilling Theoretical Stability and Observational Proof of Dark Matter Halos Headline: Galaxies Need Invisible Halos: Ostriker and Rubin Provide Evidence In the late 1960s, theorist Jeremiah Ostriker calculated that a flattened galaxy like the Milky Way could not remain stable without a large, spherical "halo" of unseen matter surrounding it, providing a theoretical basis for dark matter. This theoretical need was then powerfully confirmed by the observational work of American astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleague Kent Ford throughout the 1970s. Studying distant galaxies, including Andromeda, they discovered that stars on the outer edges rotated at unexpectedly high, constant velocities, rather than slowing down as predicted. This "flattening the curve" of rotational velocities offered the first concrete proof for the existence of dark matter, whose gravity was necessary to prevent galaxies from flying apart. 1958

El observatorio Vera Rubin ha ofrecido sus primeras y espectaculares imágenes del firmamento. Este gigantesco telescopio, situado en Chile, está equipado con una cámara de 3.200 megapíxeles, la mayor del mundo. En solo una noche ha descubierto 2.000 asteroides, la décima parte de todos los hallados por el resto de telescopios en un año. Durante la próxima década se encargará de mapear el universo en movimiento, con una sensibilidad, escala y velocidad nunca vistas hasta el momento, abriendo una nueva era en la astronomía. Hemos entrevistado al cosmólogo Juan García-Bellido Capdevila, catedrático de Física Teórica en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, investigador del Instituto de Física Teórica (CSIC/UAM) y miembro de la Real Academia de Ciencias. Alejandro Muñoz nos ha informado de un proyecto europeo liderado por el CSIC para desarrollar un sistema de alerta temprana para prevenir la mortalidad de pinares y encinares. Con testimonios de Alberto Hornero, investigador del Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible. Hemos informado de la Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología que elabora cada dos años la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT). Los españoles muestran un alto grado de confianza en la ciencia y la tecnología y un creciente interés por esos temas, así como un convencimiento de que los beneficios que reporta son mayores que los perjuicios, pero echan de menos una mayor sensibilidad social y una mejor comunicación. La aleación, el arte de mezclar metales con otros elementos, ha sido durante mucho tiempo una piedra angular de la ciencia de los materiales y la metalurgia. Por el contrario, la desaleación se ha conocido principalmente como un proceso corrosivo que degrada los materiales y debilita su estructura. José Manuel Torralba nos ha contado una investigación del Instituto Max Planck que ha convertido estos dos procesos aparentemente opuestos en un concepto innovador y sostenible de síntesis de nuevos materiales. El doctor Pedro Gargantilla nos ha hablado de la sordera de Beethoven, de sus posibles causas y de cómo le influyó en su vida diaria y en su creatividad.

Una ventana al universo: El Observatorio Vera Rubin revela sus primeras imágenes y promete revolucionar la astronomía

El Observatorio Vera Rubin, situado en Chile, reveló este impresionantes galaxias y regiones de formación estelar en sus primeras imágenes del espacio profundo captadas por su telescopio, la cámara digital más grande del mundo. Tras más de dos décadas de trabajo, el gigantesco telescopio financiado por Estados Unidos y en el trabajan cientificos de varios países, entró en funcionamiento. Se calcula que podrá quintuplicar el número de cuerpos conocidos del Sistema Solar en sólo cinco años. En las primeras imágenes del observatorio Vera Rubin se puede apreciar con una claridad inédita la nebulosa Trífida y la nebulosa Laguna, ambas ubicadas a varios miles de años luz de la Tierra. Otra de las capturas ofrece una impresionante vista panorámica del cúmulo de galaxias Virgo. Para entender la magnitud de este hito, Fabio Hernández, ingeniero de investigación del CNRS en Francia, explica lo que hace únicas a estas capturas: "Este instrumento permite ver objetos que son muy tenues, que emiten muy muy poca luz, entonces no se habían visto antes. Lo importante, creo yo, es que en un fragmento del cielo muy pequeño hay una cantidad enorme de objetos celestes y en particular de galaxias. Eso es lo que impresiona de estas imágenes". Mirar el cielo con este aparato podría revolucionar cuatro ámbitos clave de la astrofísica: el estudio de la energía obscura, la cartografía de la Vía Láctea, el censo del sistema solar y el seguimiento de los fenómenos transitorios. Y es que, según Hernández, esto "es solo el comienzo". El proyecto tiene un plan de una década para crear el mapa más detallado del universo jamás visto. "El instrumento va a hacer un barrido del cielo austral cada tres noches. Entonces se va a tener una foto completa del cielo austral y se va a hacer eso durante 10 años". "Al cabo de los 10 años, cada parte del cielo va a ser visitada entre 800 y 1000 veces", detalla el ingeniero. "Eso quiere decir que de cada galaxia que vamos a observar, se va a poder mirar su evolución en 10 años: cómo la galaxia cambió de posición, de luminosidad, de color probablemente, de forma. Y eso para cada uno de los 40 billones de objetos que va a observar este instrumento", equipado con un avanzado telescopio de 8,4 metros y la cámara digital más grande jamás construida. El desierto chileno es una ventana al universo Fueron necesarios 20 años de trabajos para instalar este gigantesco telescopio, financiado por Estados Unidos, en la cima del Cerro Pachón, en el desierto chileno. La elección del lugar no fue casual, ese país alberga telescopios de más de 30 países. "Chile fue seleccionado por sus condiciones de baja humedad, de baja polución lumínica, de poca presencia humana en el sector, y la altitud hace que se preste muy bien para las observaciones astronómicas", afirma Hernández. Decenas de científicos de todo el mundo participan en esta aventura dirigida por la National Science Foundation y el Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos. Pero, una de las facetas más notables del proyecto es que no es exclusivo para ellos, toda persona interesada y con acceso a internet, puede observar estas fotografías inéditas. La idea es "dar a disposición estas imágenes al público en general", lo que "va a permitir que astrónomos aficionados puedan hacer descubrimientos y probablemente detectar cosas que los astrónomos profesionales y astrofísicos no han detectado". Aunque inicialmente no estaba dedicado a esta tarea, en sólo unos días el nuevo observatorio Vera-C.-Rubin ha descubierto un número impresionante de asteroides y objetos cercanos a la Tierra, es decir, que se cruzan con la órbita terrestre. El observatorio lleva el nombre de Vera Rubin, una astrónoma estadounidense pionera que descubrió la materia obscura, esa sustancia misteriosa que no emite luz, pero ejerce una influencia gravitatoria fundamental sobre las galaxias.

Episode 307 Using new “ultrasoft” electronics, researchers at Harvard have effectively created tadpole cyborgs. A soft bioelectronic device has been implanted into their brains - one which grows with them as they develop into frogs. This neural implant is a first step in helping us better understand the inner workings of the brain. But could this work in mammals…or humans? Discussing just that, the Royal Society held a meeting this week called Cyborg Futures. How soon until humans become one with machines? A small fleet of cheap drones has been deployed by Ukraine's security service, causing $7 billion of damage to Russian air power. Just 117 drones were able to take out a third of Russia's nuclear bomb force. Difficult to catch, hard to jam and nearly impossible to shoot down - are drones a paradigm shift in warfare? The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile has just opened, promising to carry out a legacy survey of space and time. US editor Chelsea Whyte visited the newly operational telescope to see how it will map out the night sky in never-before-seen detail. Learn how it hopes to answer some of the biggest mysteries about dark matter and dark energy - and find out about the legacy of Vera Rubin, the astronomer the telescope is named after. Think net-zero climate action is costing us way too much, driving up living costs and damaging the economy? Think again. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has taken on all of the misinformation circulating about our goal to achieve net zero emissions, showing that raising climate ambition would actually boost the global economy.

You can’t tell just by looking, but the universe undergoes constant change. Stars explode. Quasars flare up. Asteroids zip past Earth. And soon, astronomers will be able to generate super-high-definition movies of those changes almost every night of the year. That’s because a new telescope dedicated to “time-domain” astronomy is about ready to take its first looks at the heavens. The telescope is the centerpiece of the Vera Rubin Observatory. It’s named for an astronomer who provided strong evidence for the existence of dark matter. It’s atop an 8700-foot mountain in Chile. The telescope’s main mirror, which gathers and focuses starlight, is 8.4 meters across – almost 28 feet. It has a wide field of view, allowing it to photograph the entire southern sky every few nights. It’ll record its observations on the largest digital camera ever built – 3200 megapixels. Astronomers will use those observations to learn more about dark energy and dark matter, and to map the Milky Way Galaxy. And they’ll watch for things that change. They’ll discover asteroids and comets – both close to Earth and deep in the outer solar system. They’ll see novas, supernovas, and other brilliant flare-ups. And the observatory will send out immediate notices of each new outburst, allowing other astronomers to make detailed follow-up observations – learning much more about our constantly changing universe.
