engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-23 04:00:42

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. Quite a few intriguing games dropped this week and some high-profile ones have been ported to more platforms. Before we get to those, though, I'd like to tell you about one of my favorite games of the year so far. I struggle to fully engage with many RPGs. By and large, I'm not interested in spending lots of time optimizing my character, speccing out a skill tree or scouring for the very best equipment to match my playstyle

Dicing an Onion, the Mathematically Optimal Way

This is a project about onions and math. Why? Because tens of millions of people are curious about how to properly dice an onion, according to YouTube. In 2021, chef and food writer J. Kenji López-Alt broke out some math to get optimal uniform piece sizes. But there is more than one way to dice an onion… This is an onion. (Well, a simplified cross-section of one.)

Apple is developing an all-new operating system codenamed "Charismatic," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This is likely Apple's long-rumored "homeOS" operating system. In a report this week, Gurman said both Apple's rumored smart home hub in 2026 and tabletop robot in 2027 will run the new operating system. He said the software platform will blend elements of tvOS and watchOS. For example, he expects there to be a hexagonal grid of apps, just like on the Apple Watch. The platform larg

Toothpaste Made From Hair Works Better Than Fluoride, Scientists Say

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-11-23 05:00:15

Looking for an effective, sustainable toothpaste? It might be on top of your head. Scientists have discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin, and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop tooth decay. It might also protect teeth even better than conventional fluoride-based toothpastes, stopping tooth decay in its tracks, according to a new study. When keratin comes into contact with saliva, it forms a protective coating that mimics natural enamel, the study shows. Not only can it shi

Scientists at MIT have found a way to create something new: using generative AI to design two antibiotic compounds from scratch that can kill drug-resistant gonorrhea and MRSA in lab dishes and mice.

How a mysterious particle could explain the Universe’s missing antimatter

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current theories, matter and its counterpart, antimatter, ought to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. But antimatter is vanishingly rare in the universe. So what happened? Physicists don’t know the answer to that question yet, but many think the solution must involve some subtle dif

A brazen attack on air safety is underway — here’s what’s at stake

At the end of July, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) convened a three-day public hearing to investigate January’s mid-air collision over Washington, DC that killed 67 people. After the hearing, two conclusions were inescapable. First, the disaster should have been prevented by existing safety rules. And second, the government regulators responsible for air safety have become hesitant to enforce those rules, especially when it means standing up to industry demands for more flights
