is a reviewer with 10 years of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. Samsung’s summer Unpacked is officially on, starting at 10AM ET on Wednesday, July 9th.

Gas prices could go up due to the US-Iran conflict. Alvaro Gonzalez/Getty Images President Donald Trump delivered an all-caps message about oil prices on Monday, less than a day after US and Israeli forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites.

Trump Says U.S. Won’t Respond to Iran’s Retaliatory Strike in Qatar

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday afternoon. “There have been 14 missiles fired—13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done.” The Iranian military launched about a dozen missiles toward Al Udeid Ai

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the first foldables with an IP68 rating

How to turn on Android's Private DNS mode - and why it's an absolute must for security
