Today's best Anycubic Kobra Max dealsThe Anycubic Kobra Max is freaking huge. No really. It’s that big. With a 400x400x450mm build volume, this is the perfect machine for 3D printing props and costume helmets in one piece. But first, you’ll want to measure your workspace – this monster needs THREE SQUARE FEET of operating space! I had to turn the printer sideways to fit on my IKEA counter – and the spool holder still hung off into space.Once you find a spot to put it, the Anycubic Kobra Max is a great machine that’s easy…

Cats are a popular photography subject, but for Samsung, they are apparently also great test material for assessing the quality of its most ambitious camera sensor ever, and it’s the one that will likely grace the Galaxy S23 series next year. Samsung’s team took the company’s in-development 200-megapixel smartphone camera sensor for a test run and ended up capturing and then printing a gigantic, 616-square-meter canvas of a cat’s face, all to show the level of detail it can bring out. Just to be clear here, the…

Just how big was the January eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano? Four months of intensive science has only bumped up the scale. You could point to the audible booms that interrupted the night in Alaska, 6,000 miles away. Or perhaps to the tsunamis in the Caribbean, created by a rare form of acoustic wave that hopped over continents and stirred up the seas. In space, the weather changed too, NASA scientists said earlier this month, with winds from the blast accelerating up to 450 miles per hour as they left the…

Black holes are thought to reside at the centre of most galaxies, including our Milky Way, holding important clues to the functioning of these giants. A group of researchers has now found a previously overlooked trove of massive black holes in dwarf galaxies. Black holes are usually detected when they actively grow by consuming gas around them, which makes them glow intensely. These black holes, the researchers believe, can offer insights into the journey of the supermassive black hole that sits at the centre of the Milky…

Glencore International A.G. and Glencore Ltd., both part of a Switzerland-based multi-national commodity trading and mining firm named in massive bribery of officials of Nigeria’s state-owned oil company, have pleaded guilty and agreed to pay over $1.1 billion fine over their involvement in a corruption scheme. The firms’ pleas are meant to resolve the United States’ government’s investigations into violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and a commodity price manipulation…

A massive crater known as the “mouth to hell” began opening in the 1960s. Now, over 60 years later, the crater continues to grow, swallowing everything in its path. The most worrying part, though, is that scientists have no idea how to stop it. Russia’s “mouth to hell” continues to grow each year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAQbTFWM8Sc The crater began to form in the 1960s, shortly after parts of the massive forests that once covered the area were cleared out. Scientists believe the land was once…

2021 was a silent year for Motorola’s flagship phones. One thing that got to us was the fact that there was no new iteration of the company’s foldable, Razr. Now, however, the company is working on a new iteration, and now we have more information on it. A new massive leak just showed off the fingerprint scanner and outer display of the Motorola Razr 3.It seems that Motorola took a year’s break to redefine what it wants to do with its line of clamshell foldable phones. It launched two already, but they all fell just…
