While overall sales revenue rose, Volvo sold fewer cars in its key European and US markets. Swedish automaker Volvo Cars on Thursday rising raw material costs and inflation drove down profits in the third quarter. The group posted a net profit of 665 million kronor ($61 million) in the July-September…

Scientists working with an experimental class of materials have made a breakthrough that could shape a new generation of electronic devices. The researchers’ creation is likened to a conductive “Play-Doh” that can be easily shaped, combining two characteristics in a way they say defies a theoretical explanation.Materials that conduct electricity such as aluminum, copper or other metals tend to have some things in common. They consist of neat rows of atoms or molecules arranged in a tight configuration, which was thought…

Google has just announced Android 13 (Go edition), a build of Android 13 for budget smartphones. It has been five years since Android (Go edition) was announced, and Google said that there are now over 250 million monthly active devices powered by Android Go.Android 13 (Go edition) is now official, and it brings Material You with itAndroid 13 (Go edition) took its time to arrive following the Android 13, but it’s finally here. This update brings Material You to budget phones. You’ll be able to customize your entire…

Android 13 (Go edition) was announced by Google as the latest version of its Android software for entry-level devices. The new version of Android Go was announced two months after the release of Android 13, and comes with interesting updates and new features for ‘Go devices'. One of the most important changes announced by Google is that Android 13 (Go edition) devices will receive Google Play System updates. Keeping in mind the limited hardware available on entry-level smartphones, it makes plenty of sense for software…

By exposing a honeycomb-like material with a specific kind of magnetic field, yellow arrow, researchers can create order among the loop currents, light blue, within that material. Electrons, in green, can then pass through the material much more easily. Credit: Oak Ridge National LaboratoryA recently discovered, never-before-seen phenomenon in a type of quantum material could be explained by a series of buzzing, bee-like “loop-currents.” The discovery from physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) may…

Google's Material You design language has been available since Android 12, but you wouldn't know it if you bought an entry Go Edition phone stuck with the old look. Thankfully, Google is finally bringing that aesthetic to lower-cost handset. The newly announced Android 13 Go Edition brings Material You to these basic devices for the first time, giving you color themes that reflect your wallpaper as well as an overall more stylish appearance. It should also be easier to keep your phone up to date. Android 13 Go Edition…

Volkswagen Group and Canadian quantum technology company Xanadu have established a multiyear research programme to improve the performance of quantum algorithms for simulating battery materials. The goal is to reduce computational costs and accelerate VW adoption of quantum computers to develop battery materials that are safer, lighter and more cost effective. The automaker said accurate and efficient simulation of…

Scanning electron microscopy images at different magnifications reveal the spherelike morphology of the powder particles of NMC622, one of the two materials synthesized in the study by Skoltech researchers. The image is relatively sparsely populated by particles for better visibility, but their spherical morphology means that in an actual battery, they can be compacted to a greater extent than the conventional octahedron-shaped particles, so the…

Unaired segments of an interview between Kanye West and the Fox News host Tucker Carlson document the American rapper airing a series of comments based on racist conspiracy theories, adding to the growing controversy over the interview.In the segments, first reported by the tech news outlet Motherboard, West, who has changed his legal name to Ye, detailed his belief in an unfounded and antisemitic conspiracy theory that Planned Parenthood was founded “to control the Jew population”.“When I say Jew, I mean … who the people…

Last updated: September 27th, 2022 at 09:52 UTC+02:00 Last year, Google parted ways with Play Music and switched all its users to YouTube Music.
