Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year’s oddest-looking smartphone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-18 12:09:30

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalo

GM is sending new and old EV batteries to recycler Redwood Materials, which then repurposes the packs for stationary energy storage, the two companies announced today. Second-life batteries from GM have already made their way through Redwood’s process and into a 12 megawatt microgrid at the company’s Sparks, Nevada, headquarters.

The Galaxy Watch 8 gets a key battery health feature that more smartwatches need

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8 series introduces a “battery protection” feature designed to extend the device’s battery longevity. The feature works by stopping the charge at 90% and only resuming it when the battery level drops down to 85%. This prevents the battery from sitting at a full 100% charge, which reduces stress and helps slow long-term battery degradation. Most people don’t upgrade their smartwatch every year, opting to keep their device unt

CERN Physicists Find Key Piece of the Matter-Antimatter Puzzle

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-19 22:00:42

All matter in our universe has an evil twin: antimatter. Cosmological models suggest that the Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter that cancel each other out. But for reasons physicists still aren’t completely sure about, that didn’t happen. As a result, our universe today hosts slightly more matter than antimatter—our very existence being clear, physical proof. Now, we might be one step closer to explaining why there’s an imbalance between matter and antimatter,

There could be “dark main sequence” stars at the galactic center

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-20 23:30:58

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties. The main sequence, however, is based on an assumption that's almost always true: All of the energy involved comes from the gravity-driven fusion of lighter elemen
