Antarctica’s Ghost Hunters: Inside the World’s Biggest Neutrino Detector

Neutrinos are strange little things. This tiny, enigmatic particle with no charge exists in virtually every corner of the universe, but without powerfully sensitive, sophisticated instruments, physicists would have no way of knowing they exist. In fact, trillions are passing through you every second. Physicists devise all sorts of ways to coax neutrinos into the detection range. But IceCube—which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year—stands out in particular for its unique setup: 5,160 digi

SailGP RaceScape XR brings high-speed sailing to your living room

I can’t say that I have ever paid much attention to competitive sailing. But if I owned an Apple Vision Pro, I would absolutely start following each SailGP race, with the new SailGP RaceScape XR app out today. Here’s what using it looks like. SailGP is a racing league in which 12 F50 foiling catamarans tear down a water track at more than 60 mph. To reduce drag and optimize maneuverability, they use hydrofoils that basically lift them above the water, making for even more interesting sights dur

The pixel that refused to die: LG Display’s 15-year OLED journey and the screen that changed everything

Deep within LG Display’s Paju facility, in a room most employees have forgotten exists, sits a 15-inch screen that shouldn’t be working. When engineers fired it up last month for a heritage documentation project, they expected perhaps a flicker and maybe some color degradation—the inevitable decay of organic compounds exposed to fifteen years of molecular entropy. Instead, the display blazed to life with colors so vivid and blacks so profound that the measurement equipment had to be recalibrate

Encryption made for police and military radios may be easily cracked

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, and military forces around the world–that made any communication secured with the algorithm vulnerable to eavesdropping. When the researchers publicly disclosed the issue in 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which developed the algorithm, advised anyone using it for

Woman wins $200,000 case after her phone started a house fire while charging

TL;DR A woman has been awarded the equivalent of $200,000 after her phone caused a house fire while charging. The court ruled the LG K8 was defective and failed to meet safety expectations. Most of the payout will go to her insurer, but she also received compensation for injuries. We’ve heard multiple reports of the Google Pixel 6a melting down over recent months, but nothing as nightmarish as this. For one woman, her plugged-in Android phone caused a house fire, eventually leading to a six-f

Breaking the sorting barrier for directed single-source shortest paths

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost. You may end up spending too much time putting the pieces in order. This dilemma is especially relevant to one of the most iconic problems in computer science: finding the shortest path from a specific starting point in a network to every other point. It’s like a souped-up version of a problem you n

The Ski Rental Problem

Ski Rental Problem The ski rental problem is a classic example problem in online algorithms. It feels like a small but interesting problem that can be explained relatively easily while some clever tricks can be applied to it. In this article, I took these lecture notes by Debmalya Panigrahi and Hangjie Ji and tried to rewrite them in a way that is easier to understand (at least for me). Formulation You are going skiing in the mountains but you are unsure about the weather reports and don't k

The Longest Sightline on Earth

See, all the examples above are limited by the curvature of the earth, and that is why the horizon seems to be the limiting factor. But there are two additional variables in play that can allow for some truly amazing sightlines: the height of the target and the temperature of the air. The height of the target is intuitively obvious, as we all realize we can see Calgary's skyline from way further away than 4.7 km. In fact, Calgary's skyline can be seen at least 50 km away since the height of the

Inside the LG G5’s shocking last-place finish at the 2025 TV Shootout

The 2025 TV Shootout went down over the weekend, and the results are shocking: yes, the Sony Bravia 8 II won the overall competition and my personal award for silliest name, but the LG G5 came in last place by a huge margin. I was one of the judges, and I think I have a sense of what’s going on.

Tesla picks LGES, not CATL, for $4.3 billion storage battery deal

Tesla has a new battery cell supplier. Although the automaker is vertically integrated to a degree not seen in the automotive industry for decades, when it comes to battery cells it’s mostly dependent upon suppliers. Panasonic cells can be found in many Teslas, with the cheaper, sturdier lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells being supplied by CATL. Now Tesla has a new source of LFP cells thanks to a deal just signed with LG Energy Solutions. According to The Korea Economic Daily, the contr

LG’s StanbyMe 2 is an unquestionably cool TV at a questionably high price
