Apple is deepening its financial services play by partnering with JPMorgan Chase. This move aims to embed banking and savings products directly where users already shop and manage wallets, aligning with a massive trend toward embedded finance.
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues the minimum wage worsens affordability, but a recent legal settlement reveals a new front. New York City’s scheduling rules are creating a complex regulatory environment for employers. The debate is shifting from just hourly pay to total hours and predictab
Apple is stepping up its internal succession planning as Tim Cook, 65, continues his tenure. The leading internal candidate appears to be hardware chief John Ternus, but the company’s priority is ensuring operational continuity above all else.
Building a useful, fault-tolerant quantum computer is a huge engineering challenge. Now, a new concern is emerging: they might need staggering amounts of electricity to run, with some designs projected to use ten times more power than the world’s fastest supercomputer.
A team at China’s EAST tokamak has demonstrated a way to exceed the Greenwald limit, a critical density barrier for fusion plasma. By carefully controlling startup conditions, they achieved densities about 65% higher than previously thought possible. This suggests a scalable pathway for more powerfu
Researchers have finally replicated one of nature’s coolest tricks in the lab. A new synthetic skin can independently change its color and texture, mimicking octopus camouflage. This could be huge for more than just hiding things.
Google is bringing back a faster way to open apps on Pixel phones. After testing and removing the feature in the past, a server-side update is now letting more users launch apps directly from the keyboard.
Bluetti just announced the Charger 2, a major upgrade to its car charging module. It can now pull power from both your vehicle’s alternator and solar panels at the same time, promising much faster charging for portable power stations.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says a proposed California tax that could cost him $8 billion “never crossed my mind once.” But other billionaires, like Larry Page and Peter Thiel, are already making moves to leave the state.
Researchers are deploying ultra-sensitive quantum detectors in the hunt for dark matter, which makes up 27% of the universe. The technology can pick up a signal that might only happen once every ten years.
