Scientists have developed a new artificial eye inspired by the adaptive vision of animals and popularized in science fiction films like Terminator. The technology uses a liquid-metal pupil that automatically changes shape and size in response to light, potentially helping robots, autonomous vehicles, and advanced machines see more clearly in rapidly changing environments. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Westlake University, and other institutions introduced the concept in a study published in the journal Science Robotics. Their goal was to address a common challenge in modern machine vision systems: cameras and sensors often struggle when lighting…

New research involving scientists from Anthropic and ETH Zurich suggests that modern artificial intelligence systems could identify the real-world identities behind supposedly anonymous internet accounts. The study, published as a preprint on arXiv, shows that large language models (LLMs) may be capable of analyzing online activity and linking pseudonymous profiles to real individuals at scale. The research, titled Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs, explores how AI agents can automate the process of deanonymization – the act of connecting anonymous or pseudonymous online accounts to real identities. Traditionally, this process required significant manual investigation by analysts who searched through posts, writing…

A $1,000 Xbox would have sounded downright absurd not long ago, but Microsoft’s next-gen system, reportedly called Project Helix, may be heading into much pricier territory. According to analysis highlighted by Moore’s Law Is Dead, early estimates place the console somewhere between $999 and $1,200, largely due to the powerful hardware it’s rumored to pack. At first glance, that price feels wild. Then again, if the performance rumors hold up, the value equation might start looking very different. If the hardware rumors hold up, this could be a beast Speaking of performance, reports suggest Project Helix could deliver six times…

A new report from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund has raised concerns about the growing use of artificial intelligence chatbots in children’s toys, warning that some of these systems may not be suitable for young users. According to the report, several AI-powered toys integrate chatbot technology that can generate responses similar to those used in adult-focused AI services, potentially exposing children to inappropriate or misleading content. The study examined a range of toys that incorporate conversational AI features, including interactive dolls, robots, and educational gadgets. Many of these products allow children to speak with a toy…

Researchers have developed a new system that uses smartphones instead of specialized motion-tracking hardware to create more realistic avatar movement in virtual reality (VR). The technology aims to reduce the need for expensive VR equipment while making immersive digital interactions more accessible to a wider range of users. The system was created by researchers who wanted to solve a long-standing challenge in virtual environments: capturing natural body movements and translating them accurately into digital avatars. Traditional VR setups often rely on dedicated motion-capture suits, cameras, or tracking sensors placed around a room. While effective, these systems can be expensive and…

TCL has unveiled a striking new gaming monitor that combines premium OLED visuals with high speed. The TCL 32X3A is a 31.5-inch 4K OLED display designed for both gamers and creators, offering a native 240Hz refresh rate while maintaining a surprisingly elegant, ultra-thin design. What immediately stands out is the monitor’s design. As reported by ITHome, TCL says the panel measures just 6.4mm at its thinnest point, making it one of the slimmest gaming monitors announced so far. The company wraps the display in a minimalist metal chassis and pairs it with a stand that houses Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers,…

Around 50 flights planned to and from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jeddah, Muscat, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah Dubai/Gurugram, 06 March 2026:  With airspace over Saudi Arabia and Oman open, Air India and Air India Express continue to operate scheduled flights to and from Jeddah and Muscat. Airspace closures in other parts of West Asia still impact operations, and scheduled commercial flights to the affected regions remain suspended until further notice. To support guests stranded in the region, both airlines are operating additional non- scheduled commercial flights on 7 March with necessary clearances from Indian and local authorities. Air India Express…

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the United States government seeking refunds for tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The case, filed by Nintendo’s U.S. subsidiary in the U.S. Court of International Trade, argues that the company was forced to pay import duties that were later ruled unlawful. The lawsuit comes after a major court decision earlier this year determined that the tariffs had been imposed using legal authority that did not actually permit such taxes. While the ruling invalidated the duties, it didn’t clearly explain how companies that had already paid them would get their money back. Nintendo is…

For most of gaming history, the deal between players and technology was refreshingly simple: save up, buy a machine, install a game, and that experience was yours for as long as the hardware kept breathing. Old consoles might collect dust, but they still booted up when nostalgia struck. A five-year-old gaming PC might wheeze at the latest AAA release, but it could still run older favorites just fine. Ownership wasn’t just a technical detail, but was part of gaming culture itself, whether that meant shelves stacked with discs or a lovingly assembled PC rig with mismatched RGB fans and a…

For many residential pool owners, the dream of a crystal-clear oasis often clashes with the reality of manual maintenance. Traditional cleaning methods involving heavy hoses and manual scrubbing are famously time-consuming and laborious. This is where the Talosbo C1 enters the frame as a professional-grade solution designed to automate the most taxing aspects of pool ownership. As a smart pool robot engineered for both efficiency and ease of use, the Talosbo C1 aims to replace outdated equipment with a sophisticated, cordless experience. In this review, we examine how its technical parameters translate into real-world performance. Technical Superiority: Enhanced Suction and…
