The following demonstrate proofs of various identities and theorems using pictures, inspired from this gallery. Nichomauss' Theorem: the sum of the first cubes can be written as the square of the sum of the first integers, a statement that can be written as . Here, we use the same re-arrangement as the first proof on this page (the sum of first odd integers is a square).

NFC just got a serious range boost, and your next smartwatch is going to love it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-10 06:51:37

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The new NFC Release 15 specification increases range from 5mm to up to 2cm, making alignment less critical to initiating a compliant connection. This extended range will make NFC connections quicker and more reliable in the future, especially for smaller devices like smart watches and smart rings. It also introduces support for the NFC Digital Product Passport (NDPP), allowing phones to serve as payment terminals. Unless you’re picking up something i

Kia EV4 Review: Price, Specs, Availability

wired.com John Voelcker 2026-03-12 02:00:00

The 2026 Kia EV4 could be an important vehicle in the ongoing global EV transition. To be sold in 140 markets globally, the EV4 is a carefully calibrated shot at bringing long-range electric power into the high-volume mainstream segment of compact sedans and hatchbacks at an affordable price. US and Asian markets will get an EV4 sedan (the model I spent the day with for this review), now built in Korea. Europeans’ preference for five-doors means only an EV4 hatchback will be available in that r

What to read this weekend: Vampires and more vampires

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-12 04:15:17

I was pretty late in getting to this one, as it's been on my list for a good while now, but I really can't think of a better time to have finally picked up this retelling of the original sapphic vampire story, Carmilla, than during Pride Month. And what a treat it is. Hungerstone is a gothic novel that follows Lenore, a woman who has been uprooted from London and moved to the British moorlands by her husband, Henry, to fulfill his career ambitions. Henry is… not the best, and Lenore could defini

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-14 01:30:20

Tesla has officially launched new versions of the Model S and the Model X in the US.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth and final season

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2026-03-14 14:07:47

We’re still over a month away from the premiere of season three, but Paramount has announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth season — and that it will be its last. While Strange New Worlds’ first four seasons are (or will be) all ten episodes long, the fifth will run for just six. Still, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement that they’ll “complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it.” “From the ve

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end with a truncated fifth season

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-15 17:10:54

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will only visit around 26 strange new worlds before shuttling into that cancellation sunset. The show will end with a truncated fifth season of six episodes, according to reporting by Deadline . This news is relatively surprising, given that Strange New Worlds seems like the most popular and successful show of the modern era. However, not a single newer Trek series has made it past five seasons, so maybe that's just the way things go now. It's worth remembering tha

David Harbour Is More Than Ready for ‘Stranger Things’ to Be Over

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-03-17 00:30:10

David Harbour has been acting professionally for over two decades—he was nominated for a Tony in 2005—but his big break came with Stranger Things. Harbour’s portrayal of Sheriff Jim Hopper immediately endeared him to viewers, and over the show’s run we’ve seen Hawkins, Indiana’s top cop morph from boozy sad sack to strict but loving dad to supernatural beastie-fighting hero to Siberian prison escapee, plus a little romantic tension with Winona Ryder’s character on the side. And since Stranger T
