gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-01-17 09:00:49

The new alternate universe tri-fold could be Tecno’s Phantom Ultimate G Fold concept phone that literally wraps around itself like a big “G.” This actually may be the better way to do tri-folds, but Samsung would need to think long and hard about device integrity if it’s using this same design for it

Remembrance of Scents Past

news.ycombinator.com Margaret Talbot 2026-01-16 02:03:27

But Marks argues that smell is one of the most potent ways to give museum visitors a visceral sense of the past, and to help them remember what they read or saw in an exhibit. Among the scents she designed for the docks exhibition was one inspired by a woman’s memory, in the oral histories, of her dockworker father’s damp woollen coat drying on an electric fire in the nineteen-sixties. Marks thought that the coat might have smelled like her own grandfather’s wool flat cap. He’d been a London cab

Can US Measles Outbreaks Be Stopped?

The US is experiencing its worst year for measles in over three decades, with more than 1,300 cases in 40 states as of July 16. Cases were almost as high in 2019, putting the country’s measles elimination status at risk. Six years ago, health officials were able to stop the spread. But amid growing public backlash against vaccines, many of the tactics used then may not work now.
