Hydrogen-Powered Plasma Torch Decimates Plastic Waste in a Blink

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-13 00:30:56

Why sort plastic when you can blast it to oblivion? Sounds extreme, but that’s the idea behind a new technology with the potential to “realize the era of zero plastic sorting”—while minimizing carbon emissions, too. In a press release today, the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMMS) announced the development of a plasma torch that annihilates plastic waste in less than 0.01 seconds—about ten times faster than a blink. The torch is entirely powered by hydrogen and converts mixed plast

How to Make Light Roast Espresso, According to Chemists (2025)

“You need to realize you've already rejected tradition by not getting a dark roast coffee. You've embraced modernism,” Hedrick says. “And if you're going to embrace modernism and reject traditionalism, you must always also reject traditional shot parameters.” But terrific light roast is possible. There are two ways to go. You can go traditional—changing your dose and ratios a bit but aiming for a cup with intensity and balance. That's what I've been honing for the past year. But there's also

It’s surprisingly easy to remove Google’s digital AI watermark on the Pixel 10

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 06:30:31

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Like the Samsung Galaxy S25, Google’s new Pixel 10 series is adopting C2PA metadata for digital media authenticity. Anytime the phones take a photo or edit it, they embed a watermark in the final image that traces its origin and any changes made to it. Google, like Samsung, is following this standard to help combat all inevitable confusion around an image’s provenance and veracity on the internet. Is this photo real or AI?

F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference

In Search of AI Psychosis

AI psychosis (NYT, PsychologyToday) is an apparent phenomenon where people go crazy after talking to chatbots too much. There are some high-profile anecdotes, but still many unanswered questions. For example, how common is it really? Are the chatbots really driving people crazy, or just catching the attention of people who were crazy already? Isn’t psychosis supposed to be a biological disease? Wouldn’t that make chatbot-induced psychosis the same kind of category error as chatbot-induced diabet

iOS 26 fixed the Photos app and it’s more powerful than ever

Last year, with iOS 18, Apple tried to shake up the Photos App by making it more streamlined. They put everything under one view, and for most people, it was a flop. Instead of making it simpler to navigate, it was actually even more tedious to use. It felt like nothing really had its own place, and everything was just on one never-ending page.

Google Photos adds image background removal for custom stickers, only on iOS

If you open up certain photos in your Google Photos library on iOS, you might notice the ability to turn those photos into a sticker by removing the background.
