The xMEMS 'fan on a chip' is ready for smart glasses

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-04 20:00:32

As AI reignites Big Tech's push for smart glasses, here's a tech that could play a central role. xMEMS, which debuted a solid-state "fan on a chip" last year, has a new one for wearables. This could help future smart glasses melt your face figuratively — and not literally. Founded in 2018, xMEMS specializes in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The California-based company started with solid-state speakers. Last year, it introduced its µCooling "fan on a chip" for phones and oth

Google Nest and Yale partnered before on the Nest x Yale smart lock, so I wasn't surprised to see the spring announcement of a new lock from Yale designed to work even more closely with Nest products, especially the Nest Doorbell, a personal favorite of mine. Called the Yale Smart Lock with Matter, it's now available for $190. The Matter standard gives the new lock compatibility with platforms like Apple Home and Alexa, but the real value lies in its connections to the Nest Doorbell. Not only d

4 health trackers I'd recommend to anyone (and why they make such a big difference)

zdnet.com Nina Raemont 2025-09-05 00:07:16

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

I found a worthy Ring alternative in this video security camera (and it has no subscriptions)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is available for $180 for the Wi-Fi version and $200 for the PoE version. This indoor/outdoor security camera doubles as a smart home hub, features 1520p resolution for crystal-clear images, RTSP support, and has a built-in NPU to process video with AI for visual recognition. The camera is wired, so placement is limited, and there is no expandable storage, so you need a subscription to access video history or bypass it through video server soft

Hue’s new smart button is bigger and more expensive

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2025-09-06 00:41:36

Smart lighting company Hue has released a new version of its Smart Button, one of the simplest ways of controlling Hue’s colorful smart lights. The new Smart Button has a bigger design and a bit of price hike — in the U.S., at least, where it now costs $32.99 compared to $29.99 for its predecessor. That’s significantly more than the UK and EU pricing for the new button — £19.99 and €21.99 respectively — possibly a sign of things to come. The new button is available now directly from Hue’s site.

Google’s pulling money away from Android TV and Google TV

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has reportedly reduced the budget for its smart TV group by 10%. Despite the reduction, the company promises “an exciting road map ahead.” Up to a quarter of the members of the 300-strong group could be impacted by the change. Google has not made it particularly easy to be a fan of Android TV. While the platform is absolutely chock-full of potential, it’s been incredibly frustrating to see it treated like such an afterthought, year after year. Why

Kids' Smartwatches Might Be Better Phone Alternatives: Here's What to Look For

A big advantage of giving a child a smartwatch is that it saves you from having to buy a smartphone while still providing a direct line to your kid. This can be especially helpful for parents managing pickup and drop-off logistics or relying on other caregivers for transportation. Younger kids, in particular, may benefit from avoiding the distractions that come with a phone.
