If you’ve been having flashbacks to 2007 while using your PC over the past few days, you’re not alone.

Apple Fitness could benefit greatly from one simple expansion

Apple has definitely built up quite a compelling ecosystem around the Apple Watch. Between all of its fitness challenges, activity rings, and competitions – Apple has certainly found a way to make exercise fun for a lot of people. The problem? Some people simply don’t like the form factor of a smartwatch. The proposal To put it short, I think Apple should allow third party health trackers to integrate with the Apple Fitness app. The catch? It’d be tied into an Apple Fitness+ subscription. App

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2025-09-11 01:11:17

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

Scientists Discover Bizarre Signals Coming From Ice in Antarctica

Some strange radio signals are broadcasting out of Antarctic ice, and the researchers who found them don't know why. Using a cosmic particle detector, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania detected peculiar signals that, according to a press release, "defy the current understanding of particle physics." The particle detector that found those strange signals — which is, charmingly, suspended from a bunch of balloons — belongs to a range of instruments known as the Antarctic Impulsive Tr

Terraforming, the act of radically transforming a planet's climate and environment to make it suitable for human habitation, currently belongs to the realm of science-fiction. But it's possible, at least in theory, and the idea of terraforming our nearest candidate planet for off-world colonization, Mars, has captivated us for generations. But how would we even begin to pull off such a monumental feat of engineering? You can basically boil it down to three simple steps, argue the authors of a r
