Are EV Charging Stations Bad for Your Health?

Charging up your EV today? Don’t stand too close to it. The air around electric vehicle chargers fast charging cars had twice the level of dangerous fine particles than regular urban air, a new study found.

Mainstream Publications Are Getting Suckered by a Ridiculous Fake News Story About a "Pregnancy Robot"

From in vitro fertilization to designer babies, the world of reproductive science has seen advances over the years that have profoundly changed the way humans conceive and give birth.

5 of the best Pixel 10 chargers you should buy instead of Google’s 67W brick

Google has a new charger for the Pixel 10 series, offering 67W of peak power spread across two USB-C ports. As an official product, this is the safe bet for guaranteed fast charging, but it’s also more power than you might need, and it’s not exactly the most affordable plug on the market either. Likewise, perhaps you’re after just a single-port plug or maybe want something that can power your laptop and tablet as well as your new Pixel? To help, I’ve dug out some of the best chargers money can b

The number of profiles available for search by police hovers around 1.5 million, not yet enough to find matches in all cases. To do my bit to inc

Google is supercharging screenshot editing on your Pixel with Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1
