The Hoyle State (2021)

Nuclear physics is complicated compared to atomic physics, because the strong force is complicated compared to the electromagnetic force, and nucleons—protons and neutrons—are bag-like groupings of quarks and gluons held together by the strong force. They resemble elastic bags that attract each other. They jostle each other in the nucleus… governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. To begin to understand such a complex thing as a nucleus, people started with approximate models. In 1930 George

RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA ‘Very, Very Quickly’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality. Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess. These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcas

Trump Says He Has a Buyer for TikTok

President Donald Trump says he has a buyer for TikTok. In an interview with on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo that aired this past Sunday, Trump said that the deal will probably need Chinese government approval, but he thinks that China's President Xi Jinping "will probably do it." Trump didn't reveal who the buyer is, only that it's a group of "very, very wealthy people," adding that he plans to make an announcement in about two weeks. The comments come about a little

I Helped 4 Local Businesses Use Adobe Express' AI Features

Over the past few years, I've found tremendous joy in helping local businesses here in Worcester, MA learn more about technology and AI. It's the same work I do in my full-time job as a content creator, but I love the in-person collaborative aspect. I started my business Feisworld Media first as a podcaster, then later I produced a documentary on Amazon Prime and then launched a YouTube channel in 2019. But it's still the in-person sharing that gets me excited about helping others. Since Adobe

I Finally Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and There's a Lot I Like

After months of rumors and teases, the Nothing Phone 3 has finally been unveiled at a Tuesday launch event in London. Nothing is calling the phone its "first true flagship" and with good reason; the Phone 3 has higher specs and other quirky new features (like the Glyph Matrix) that set it apart from its cheaper siblings. I got to spend some time using the phone at the launch and while it was only a quick look, I'm already quite impressed. The Nothing Phone 3 will go on sale next week in the US

Nothing Just Killed Its Phone's Flashy Glyph Interface. I Think the Replacement Is Better

Nothing just announced its long-awaited "first true flagship," the Nothing Phone 3, and killed off one of its most popular and unique phone features in the process. The flashing lights that crisscrossed the back of its previous phones, known as the Glyph Interface, is gone. In its place is something new -- a round black and white screen on the rear of the phone, adjacent to the cameras, which Nothing is calling the Glyph Matrix. With an interface of monochrome dots, the Matrix can show a range

Nothing releases its first over-the-ear headphones, the $299 Headphone (1)

London-based smartphone maker Nothing has launched its first over-the-ear headphones, the Headphone (1). The new device follows Nothing’s first step into audio hardware with last year’s debut of the Ear 2 open-ear headphones. The new Headphone (1) headphones were designed in collaboration with British audio brand KEF and feature the sleek, transparent design that Nothing has become known for. The device itself is a bit bulky, even for an over-the-ear headphone, but it provides adequate adaptive

Nothing Headphone 1 launched: Brings the heat, but not without trade-offs

Tom Triggs / Android Authority You should be able to achieve 35 hours of ANC-enabled listening time from the Nothing Headphone (1). TL;DR Nothing has launched Headphone 1, its first pair of wireless headphones with a transparent design and solid features. The headphones cost $299 and are available in Black and White color options. They feature 40mm dynamic drivers, IP52 water and dust resistance, Active Noise Cancelation (ANC), physical controls, including a customizable button, and more. No

Nothing launches Phone 3: The new face of ‘affordable’ flagships

Earlier this year, we saw Nothing take high-quality telephoto photography to the midrange space with the Phone 3a Pro and its periscope zoom. Change like that is the name of the game for Nothing in 2025, as the company reconsiders some past approaches to hardware, software, and even sales of its smartphones. And while some of the changes surrounding the Nothing Phone 3 have been more controversial than others, they ultimately come together to give us one curiously compelling package. Today in L

From selfie mirror to Magic 8 Ball, here’s what you can do with the Nothing Phone 3’s Glyph Matrix

TL;DR The Nothing Phone 3 replaces Nothing’s signature Glyph Interface LED lights with a monochrome micro-LED display called Glyph Matrix. Glyph Matrix supports customizable notifications, app interactions, games, camera countdowns, and live indicators. The device features a dedicated Glyph Button to control these functions. There’s also a red indicator on the back that lights up when video recording. After weeks of teasing and hyping, Nothing has just launched the Nothing Phone 3. Not only

Nothing Headphone 1 mix retro cool with new tech, but you need to know this one thing before you buy

Nothing Headphone 1 The Nothing Headphone 1 mark a bold debut in the over-ear headphones space. There are some sound quality inconsistencies with ANC enabled and their heavy, overly-tight frame aren't great for those with a larger head and ears, but with USB-C audio, built-in spatial features, and a rare IP52 rating, Nothing's first-ever cans are feature-rich, uniquely vintage-styled alternatives to the best from Sony, Bose, and Apple. It’s a few weeks short of a full four years since Nothing r

I’ve used the Nothing Phone 3, and I probably said ‘That’s fun!’ a dozen times

When the very first Nothing phone landed — the Nothing Phone 1 in 2022 — it was a breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale smartphone market. Not only did the Nothing Phone 1 look different from every other phone available at the time, but it offered some pretty stellar specs at a relatively low price. Sure, its cameras were pretty weak and Nothing OS was still finding its footing, but it was a solid opening move for a brand new company. Since then, we’ve had many other Nothing Phones — fiv

The $799 Nothing Phone 3 has four 50MP cameras and a secondary micro-LED display

The wait is over. Nothing has officially announced the Phone 3, its first flagship smartphone since entering the market in 2022. Nothing CEO Carl Pei said the company would go "all-in" on the Phone 3 with "premium materials, major performance upgrades and software that really levels things up," and the device Nothing showed off at its launch event in London certainly seems like it will be competitive with the best from Samsung and other Android OEMs. In a departure from the company's previous h

Nothing’s first over-ear headphones want to be a quirky $300 AirPods Max alternative

After numerous waves of similar (and not-so-similar) wireless buds, Nothing is debuting its first pair of over-ear headphones. The Headphone 1 combines the company's recognizable see-through aesthetic with an intriguing array of controls and up to 35 hours of listening with active noise cancellation (ANC). Handily, for its most premium audio launch yet, the $299 headphones accompany the launch of Nothing’s new flagship smartphone: the Phone 3. First impressions are everything, and these look li

Nothing Phone 3 hands-on: A tiny, playful dot-matrix screen in the company's most expensive phone yet

With the third generation of its smartphone series, Nothing made the unusual move to launch the cheaper ‘a’ line first, unveiling the Phone 3a and 3a Pro in March . Now, it’s time for its latest flagship. The Nothing Phone 3, starting at $799 (with a $899 option with 16GB of RAM) goes up against giants like the Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 — a competitive slice of the smartphone world. Once again, though, there’s nothing in the market that quite resembles a Nothing, as the company attem

I used a $170 thermal camera to check my GCFI breaker - here's why this one's worth it

ZDNET's key takeaways HSFTools' HF96V thermal camera is available now for $180. It has a broad temperature range and a high level of accuracy with an eight-hour battery life. It has an IP54 rating for dust and water-resistance, but it's not waterproof. $189.99 at Amazon For a limited time, the HSFTools HF96V thermal camera is $40 off on Amazon, bringing it down to $180. Regular readers will know that I am a little obsessed with thermal imaging cameras. I regularly use them built into smartph

View now at Nothing Nothing's first over-ear headphones are as ambitious, polarizing, and divisive of a product as you'd expect from the brand. The writing was always on the wall --

I used the $799 Nothing Phone 3, and these features surprised me in the best way

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Nothing's new flagship phone is its most expensive and risky product yet. At $799, the Nothing Phone 3 no longer undercuts its midrange competitors. Instead, the handset takes on the likes of the iPhone Pro, Pixel Pro, and Galaxy S phones of the world with a striking design, functional AI features, and fine software tuning. Also: I tested Nothing's first over-ear headphones, and they made my AirPods Max look boring And it does so while sacrificing its most iconic feature,

I saved $30 on my utility bill with these portable solar panels (and they're now $200 off)

ZDNET's key takeaways The EcoFlow 125W bifacial solar panels cost $899 for a four-pack. They're portable panels that you can take with you or set up temporarily without construction, with easy setup, and lightweight construction Though portable, these bifacial solar panels feel very fragile, so they must be weighed down if conditions are windy; their low 125W input also limits their capacity. $699 at Amazon The EcoFlow 4pcs 125W Solar Panels are now 22% off, a discount of $200 on Amazon.

All Good Editors Are Pirates: In Memory of Lewis H. Lapham

This remembrance first appeared in Stranger’s Guide on July 28, 2024. On July 23, 2024, the American essayist and editor Lewis H. Lapham died. Since then several beautiful obituaries have been written about the great man and I won’t attempt to repeat these, though I certainly encourage reading them. Instead I want to focus on a very particular time and place where I worked with Lewis and knew him best—the book-filled offices of his last great project, Lapham’s Quarterly. After a storied tenure

Nothing Headphone 1 Review: Not AirPods Max In the Best Way Possible

2025 What do you want out of a pair of over-ear headphones? No, really. Like, what do you want? I don’t mean that as a challenge; I mean that as a threat. Personal audio is a serious thing, and you need to make a sound choice when you’re picking a device that protects you from the horrors of other people’s talking, other people’s music, or other people, generally speaking. But it’s not that simple. If choosing over-ear headphones were based solely on sound, then we’d be walking around with ugly

You Can Finally Use This Very Basic Threads Feature

Better late than never? Threads, Meta's answer to X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky, was launched almost two years ago in July 2023, and saw immediate rapid signups after piggybacking off Instagram's user base. Despite being around for that long, it's just now giving us the ability to direct message other users. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg teased the new feature earlier this month as it was rolling out in beta. "We're starting to test DMs on Threads. If you get access to this -- slide through!" Zuc

The Senate Just Put Clean Energy for AI in the Crosshairs

After more than a day of continuous debate, the US Senate passed its version of the budget megabill Tuesday afternoon—with potentially disastrous implications for the future of renewable energy in the country. Among a barrage of bad news for climate initiatives, including a new tax credit for coal and the sunsetting of electric vehicle tax credits, the bill forces an aggressive cutoff for tax credits for wind and solar. The bill ends credits for projects placed in service—a term meaning, essent

Trump’s New Fragrance Doesn’t Smell Like Success

People voted for President Donald Trump, they wore his shoes, his hats, and his watches, and soon they’ll be able to make calls on his phone. Yet there is seemingly always another addition to the ways in which one can experience all that is Trump: which brings us to the latest entry to the commander in chief’s ever-expanding fragrance collection. Victory 47 for Men promises “rich, masculine notes with a refined finish” without actually listing any of the ingredients or its scent profile. Helpfu

Nothing's New Phone (3) and Headphone (1) Look Nothing Like You've Seen Before

Phones kind of look same-y. Headphones don't look that visually different either, whether it's a Sony or a Bose. UK-based tech company, Nothing, took it upon itself to change things up again, giving us a smartphone with a design the likes of which we haven't seen before, and headphones that are sure to turn heads. Today, the company announced the Phone (3), its third-generation flagship smartphone, and the Headphone (1) at an event in London. The smartphone starts at $799 for the 256 GB model,
