Sixty thousand charge cycles for industrial or grid-scale batteries is the kind of number that sounds like a typo at first, but Australian researchers say their new battery technology actually achieves it. A team at Flinders University has solved a longstanding stability problem in water-based zinc-iodine batteries. It opens the door to energy storage systems that barely degrade even after decades of daily recharges. What did the researchers figure out? Zinc-iodine batteries have long struggled with a specific problem. The iodine compounds can move away from the cathode (the positive electrode), attack the zinc electrode, and slowly damage the battery.…

Riot Games is ending active development of 2XKO, its ambitious League of Legends fighting game, in December 2026. The decision comes less than a year after its full launch, with Riot saying it simply hasn’t seen enough players stick around to put the game on a sustainable path. Importantly, 2XKO isn’t being shut down: its servers will remain online, and the game will continue to be playable. 2XKO isn’t dead… just mostly finished growing Riot says it spent the past few months tracking 2XKO’s revenue, retention, new-player numbers, and engagement, and while plenty of players gave the game a shot,…

Nintendo’s war against Switch emulation isn’t slowing down. The company has reportedly targeted more than 400 Switch emulator-related repositories on GitHub in a single day, in another sweeping takedown campaign against projects it believes facilitate piracy. The latest action comes as Nintendo continues aggressively policing software and repositories connected to unauthorized copies of its games. Another day, another GitHub cleanup According to TorrentFreak’s report, the latest sweep affected hundreds of repositories, with Suyu, a fork of the now-defunct Yuzu emulator, accounting for a large portion of the takedowns.

Oura has built much of its reputation around helping people understand what happens while they sleep. Its rings provide an overall Sleep Score each day, alongside estimates for light, deep, and REM sleep. A new proposed class-action lawsuit is now questioning just how much confidence people should put in those numbers. Filed on August 20 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the complaint accuses Oura of misleading customers by advertising highly accurate sleep-stage tracking despite relying on signals from the wearer’s finger rather than directly measuring brain activity. Oura has made some big accuracy claims…

So what exactly is BYD offering with the Da Han? BYD has commenced pre-sales with three trims. These include an entry-level rear-wheel-drive Premium at 249,900 yuan (about $36,850), a rear-wheel-drive Flagship at 269,900 yuan (about…
