Everything we do as living organisms is dependent, in some capacity, on time. The concept is so complex that scientists still argue whether it exists or if it is an illusion. In this video, astrophysicist Michelle Thaller, science educator Bill Nye, author James Gleick, and neuroscientist Dean Buonomano discuss how the human brain perceives of the passage of time, the idea in theoretical physics of time as a fourth dimension, and the theory that space and time are interwoven. Thaller illustrates Einstein’s theory of relativity, Buonomano outlines eternalism, and all the experts touch on issues of perception, definition, and experience.

Researchers have uncovered details of new vulnerabilities in MediaTek’s audio DSP chips embedded in 37% of all smartphones and IoT devices.

More than 9 million Android phones are infected with malware distributed through Huawei’s AppGallery Store.

Apple has filed a federal lawsuit against Israeli spyware firm NSO Group for illegally targeting users with the Pegasus malware.

The Connection Between Tesla’s New Phone Model Pi And Neuralink: So Elon has been one busy boy lately, from his incredible Twitter Poll the other day, to the subsequent selling of nearly 5billion in Tesla Shares. But one announcement that went under the radar updates to the rumored Tesla Pi.

So why would you want a phone from Tesla, well the same reason people have an iPhone with their iMac and their iWatch and their iTV sorry Apple TV…it’s the ecosystem, it’s the seamless transition.

The Dimensity 9,000 is both the first smartphone chip to be built using TSMC’s new 4nm process and the first chip to feature Arm’s new Cortex-X2 CPU core. The flagship chip is based on the new ArmV9 architecture and will feature the Cortex X2 as an “ultra” performance core, three Cortex-A710 cores as general “super” performance cores, and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. The Dimensity 9,000 will support LPDDR5x memory at bandwidths of up to 7,500 Mbps.

The big jumps in performance don’t stop there: The Dimensity 9,000 is also the first chip to feature Arm’s Mali G710-MC10 GPU, along with industry-leading support for raytracing via the Vulkan SDK for Android. And while there aren’t any phones currently available that have pushed refresh rates this high, MediaTek claims the Dimensity 9,000 can handle screens with up to a 180Hz refresh rate at FHD+ resolutions.

The Dimensity 9,000 also supports the first 18-bit image signal processor, which gives the chip the ability to capture 4K HDR video using up to three cameras at the same time, or still photos using up to a massive 320-MP sensor (assuming device makers can find a 320-MP sensor that fits in a phone).

The new Tesla Model P phone is coming. The best news for Tesla fans.

Designer Antonio De Rose and his ADR Studio Design lab released a clone of the Tesla Phone. It’s fun to show off ADR’s continued design skills.

Rumors are surfacing that Tesla really is planning to make a smartphone. Already, ADR’s concept images are looking a whole lot cooler. Especially for the Tesla fans.

We’ve been seeing a wave of innovations in solar panel technology, like perovskite solar cells, solar tiles and roofs, and organic panels. But what if we could harvest solar energy from the windows and skylights of our homes and skyscrapers, or even from our car windows and cellphone screens? Let’s explore transparent solar panels and how they stack up against conventional panels. Could transparent solar cells be the future of solar energy? Or does it remain to be unseen?

Near-field wireless power transfer is already used in some applications, such as charging pads for smartphones. However, longer-range transfer of energy has the potential to radically improve our home, office, and other indoor environments, by completely untethering devices from cables and reducing or eliminating the need for batteries.

French company ARCHOS has announced a partnership with U.S. company Ossia Inc, to integrate a wireless power system into consumer products next year.
