It can be frustrating to scroll through your iPhone's Recent calls tab to find the right voicemail or to remember when you talked to someone last. But when Apple introduced iOS 18 in 2024, it included a trick that let you find calls faster in your recent call history. That update brought a lot of new features, like customizable home screens and RCS messaging, as well as a search bar in your iPhone's Phone app. This lets you easily search your call history and voicemails.

This New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands With the Same Side Up

wired.com Elise Cutts 2025-12-03 05:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 360 BC, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can p

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-03 00:30:04

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it. But without the light of a star, these systems, if they exist, would go largely overlooked by our telescopes, lost to

Did California's fast food minimum wage reduce employment?

New adhesive surface modeled on a remora works underwater

Most adhesives can’t stick to wet surfaces because water and other fluids disrupt the adhesive’s bonding mechanisms. This problem, though, has been beautifully solved by evolution in remora suckerfish, which use an adhesive disk on top of their heads to attach to animals like dolphins, sharks, and even manta rays. A team of MIT scientists has now taken a close look at these remora disks and reverse-engineered them. “Basically, we looked at nature for inspiration,” says Giovanni Traverso, a prof
