In a concerted attempt at self-regulation, a grouping of the country’s peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms has asked its members — including Liquiloans, Lendbox and Faircent — to stop offering instant withdrawal products to customers after March 31, people aware of the move said.Following the industry-level decision, Matrix Partners-backed Liquiloans has written to its business partners informing them it would pause the liquid scheme option for all new lenders.Elevate Your Tech Prowess with High-Value Skill…

Teamgroup There are a wide range of cooling solutions for the average PC, from the mundane to the extremely exotic, but for most PC buyers, builders, and enthusiasts, the two main options to pick from are air cooling and water cooling. Although it’s fair to say that air cooling is more straightforward and water requires a few additional considerations, it still might be worth going the extra mile to chill your components with liquid. Let’s take a look at how air cooling and liquid cooling compare, to see which is…

New research demonstrates that silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is as effective as dental sealants in preventing tooth decay among over 4,000 elementary school students, offering a less expensive and quicker application process. This alternative treatment not only prevents cavities but also represents a significant cost-saving measure that can increase access to dental care, particularly in school-based cavity prevention programs.Silver diamine fluoride prevents cavities and keeps existing ones from worsening in school-based…

MIT engineers observed that a liquid crystal’s orderly microstructures will spontaneously assemble into large, twisted structures (pictured) when the liquid is made to slowly flow. Credit: Courtesy of the researchersStudy finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials.Hold your hands out in front of you, and no matter how you rotate them, it’s impossible to superimpose one over the other. Our hands are a perfect example of…

Universal Hydrogen is already flying the world's largest hydrogen airliner – and now the company has started testing swappable liquid hydrogen fuel modules that'll radically boost the range of clean passenger aircraft operations slated for 2026.Decarbonizing aviation is challenging; you need to carry a lot of energy in the lightest possible form, and it's very hard to compete with jet fuel on that metric. Batteries are currently abysmal, so the last few years have seen a furious pace of development in the hydrogen space,…

An ancient egg laid by a bird roughly 1,700 years ago was discovered in England so well-preserved, its contents are still sloshing around inside of it.Archaeologists analyzing the Roman-era specimen say they were downright "blown away" by its contents.The incredible ovum may be the only discovery of its kind in the world. It's certainly the oldest whole egg ever found from Roman times.While older eggs with intact contents have been excavated in other parts of the world, including ones that were mummified in Egypt, those…

We're going out on a limb here, but sometimes you've got to take a risk and make the tough calls Everybody loves a good indie-rock origin story — like Paul Westerberg holding it down as a janitor in the office of a Minnesota senator before joining the Replacements, or Dayton, Ohio’s Robert Pollard teaching grade school while biding his time before Guided By Voices became a thing. Here’s a new one for you: Meet Mike Maple, a mailman in the small college town of Marquette, Michigan who spends his…

Researchers at MIT have that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas many pre-existing techniques would take hours to finish the same build. The technology has already been used to create table legs, chair frames and related furniture parts.It’s called liquid metal printing (LMP) and involves directing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. These beads quickly harden into a 3D structure. Researchers…
