It's a non-negotiable right now that every phone-maker out there must have a plan for integrating AI into its devices. OnePlus is a little late to the party, but it's arrived nonetheless. Back in May, the company announced plans for bringing its own vision of personalized AI to OnePlus phones, and from this week, it's rolling out to the OnePlus 13 and 13R.

Can Apple Actually Make a Foldable iPhone With a ‘Crease-Free’ Display?

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2026-01-22 17:21:22

Samsung has set the bar high for foldables with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 7. The book-style foldable really is jaw-dropping. Apple’s answer to it with a foldable iPhone needs to be even better. But how? Apple supply chain snoop Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone could come with a “crease-free display”… made by Samsung. Yes, really.

‘Not that into peace doves’: The Apollo-Soyuz patch NASA rejected

Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, three NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts lifted off to meet up in orbit for the first time. Representing the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP, or Soyuz-Apollo in the Soviet Union), both crews wore a cloth patch that featured the artwork of an accomplished space artist. The design that flew, however, was not the astronauts' first pick. That patch idea was rejected because Paul Calle opted to highlight the détente nature of the international handsha

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2026-01-23 03:00:00

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design.
