Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Arizona, and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new device that generates controlled vibrations on the surface of a microchip. These waves could help future smartphones become thinner, faster, and more efficient at handling wireless signals. According to the research paper, they have developed a surface acoustic wave (SAW) phonon laser that can create “the tiniest earthquakes imaginable”. Instead of light, this laser sends mechanical waves that skim along the surface of a material. Phones already rely on surface acoustic waves to clean up messy wireless signals, but it requires multiple…

Along with the Galaxy S24 lineup, Samsung launched Galaxy AI, a useful suite of AI-based features for Samsung’s flagship users. At the launch, the Korean giant said that both the on-device and cloud-based AI tools will remain complementary “through 2025.” However, the company has reportedly changed the footnotes on the official Galaxy AI landing page, opening the door to charging for some, if not all, AI features. “Galaxy AI basic features provided by Samsung are free,” the updated footnote reads (via Android Authority). Paid ‘Enhanced’ features could be on the horizon But what are the “basic” Galaxy AI features? Per…

The iPhone 16e might not be the most modern-looking iPhone on the market, but it surely offers some excellent specifications (I said some). This year, Apple will improve its affordable handset with a set of significant upgrades, giving it a modern look and feel and making it as fast as the iPhone 17. Digital Chat Station, a Chinese tipster, claims that the iPhone 17e “will debut in the first half of the year” in a Weibo post. While that could be anytime between January and June, the iPhone 16e’s launch timeline could help narrow the launch window. A familiar launch…
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have trained a human-like robot named Emo to lip-sync speech and songs by studying online videos, showing how machines can now learn complex human behaviour simply by observing it. Emo is not a full humanoid body but a highly realistic robotic face built to explore how humans communicate. The face is covered with silicone skin and driven by 26 independently controlled facial motors that move the lips, jaw, and cheeks. These motors allow Emo to form detailed mouth shapes that cover 24 consonants and 16 vowels, which is critical for natural speech and singing. The goal…

Dubai, UAE – 5 January 2026 — Buying a used car in the UAE has traditionally been a leap of faith. Once the paperwork was signed and the keys exchanged, buyers were left with little recourse if issues surfaced later. CARS24, the global auto-tech platform, is now challenging that long-standing norm with the introduction of a first-of-its-kind 30-day return policy for used cars in the UAE. Abhinav Gupta, CEO – CARS24 Arabia The move aims to fundamentally shift risk away from buyers and bring greater accountability to the used-car ecosystem.
