Cellular service is coming to New York’s subway tunnels. This week, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority it was embarking on a 10-year project to wire all 418 miles of underground track underneath the city with wireless connectivity. Transit Wireless will build the necessary infrastructure and foot the resulting $600 million bill as part of an ongoing public-private between the two organizations. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Transit Wireless operates the MTA’s existing underground WiFi network. It’s…

Apple Watch Cellular models in India now finally support the Vodafone Idea network. So far, only Airtel and Reliance Jio networks had eSIM support, but Vodafone has now announced Apple Watch eSIM support as well. Only postpaid users can avail this facility for now, and the eSIM activation is compatible with Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular models or later that are running on WatchOS version 6.2 operating system or later. With this new support, Vodafone postpaid users will be able to use their compatible Apple Watch to make…

Global cellular IoT module chipset shipments grew 35% (on-year) in the first quarter this year, and Qualcomm led the market with 42% share and 30% growth across nine out of the 10 key regions globally, a new report has said.China was the key region for cellular IoT module chipset consumption during the quarter, reports Counterpoint Research.PC, router/CPE and industrial were the top three applications for 5G."Qualcomm, Unisoc and ASR held the top three positions in the global cellular IoT module chipset market in Q1 2022,…

Researchers have homed in on new compounds that are effective at killing leukemia. The drug candidates shut down faulty mitochondria in the cancerous cells, and were found to be far more effective when paired with existing chemotherapy drugs.Mitochondria are tiny structures inside cells that produce energy. Over time they can become damaged, so cells break old mitochondria down through a process known as mitophagy. However, cancer is known to mess with the process to keep its little energy generators running longer.That…

Source: Joseph Keller/iMore Apple has added a new feature to iOS 16 that lets users back up their devices to iCloud over an LTE connection, as well as 5G just like iOS 15. Apple released the second developer beta of iOS 16 on Wednesday, and its release notes include the new back up features for that and iPadOS 16: Customers using iOS 16 can now back up their device over an LTE cellular connection, as well as a 5G or Wifi connection. (95276719) Customers on iOS 15 already have the option to back up their devices using a…

How we can find local rules that produce specific global behaviorThe best way to introduce cellular automata is by example. Figure 1 shows a canonical example of a simple cellular automaton. It is called Rule 110 because its set of rules can be specified by the binary sequence 01101110 (1’s for any black updated cell). Rule 110 begins with the first row of cells, which contains a single black cell. Each subsequent row is a time step, obtained by applying the rules to each cell, updating its state based on its current…

If you're picking up a new cellular iPad, it won't be the best iPad if you can't transfer your current plan. The good news is you have some options for how to an iPad cellular data plan to a new iPad, depending on what kind of SIM card your iPad uses. Whether it's an embedded SIM or nano-SIM, Apple tries to make the process as painless as possible. Our glowing iPad Pro (2021) review talks about just how amazing Apple's latest iPad can be, so don't let the fear of not being able to transfer your iPad cellular data plan…

The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro were not exactly the bug-free phones we expected. They had their fair share of issues, but the latest Pixel Feature Drop did fix a lot of those issues. The cellular connectivity issues that the Pixel 6 series users have been experiencing have been fixed, it would seem, and the same goes for the battery life issues.Before we get into it, it’s worth noting that those are not the only bugs that were fixed. Yesterday, we reported that the fingerprint scanner has been improved quite a bit, while…

Simulations for the cell shape and myosin density as speed increases. Motion is to the right. Darker colors indicate higher myosin density. Credit: Physical Review E (2022). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.105.024403 A mathematical model that describes how cells change their shape during movement suggests that the movement is mainly driven by the contraction of the skeletal proteins, called "myosin." The new model developed at Penn…

Like other Pixel devices, Google’s Pixel Watch is hardly a well-kept secret. The wearable has appeared in various leaks dating back to spring 2021. Even more massive revelations have leaked in recent weeks as some Googlers forgot a Pixel Watch prototype in a restaurant. We learned all about the device’s design via unofficial hands-on experiences with a non-working device. A brand new leak now gives us additional details about the Pixel Watch’s specs, including battery size and cellular connectivity. The friend…
