Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to feature a 5,000mAh battery, the same as that of previous Galaxy S Ultra flagships since 2020. The primary camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain a 200MP sensor, potentially marking three generations without a significant upgrade to this component. These early leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra could feature only minor hardware upgrades again, which might disappoint fans. Samsung is gearing up to la

Starting this month, you'll no longer be able to use Microsoft Authenticator's autofill password function, a move the company is making to transition from passwords to passkeys. Last month, Microsoft stopped letting you save new passwords in the app. Next month is the biggest change, all your saved passwords will no longer be in the Authenticator app. You'll have to use passkeys instead -- such as a PIN, fingerprint or facial recognition.

Physicists start to pin down how stars forge heavy atoms

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) may not glitter quite like the night sky, plunked as it is between Michigan State University’s chemistry department and the performing arts center. Inside, though, the lab is teeming with substances that are otherwise found only in stars. Here, atomic nuclei accelerate to half the speed of light, smash into a target and shatter into smithereens. The collisions create some of the same rare, unstable isotopes that arise inside stars and which, through a

Serenading Cells with Audible Sound Alters Gene Activity

The cells in your ears aren’t the only ones listening: recent research suggests that crucial cells throughout the body may respond to audible sound. Experiments described in Communications Biology revealed more than 100 genes whose activity changed in response to these acoustic waves, pointing to possible medical applications. Extensive earlier research has shown that ultrasound—sound at frequencies higher than humans can hear—can affect biology in numerous ways; the new study expands this conc

LLMs as Compilers

LLMs as compilers 7/2/2025 by Kadhir So far, I've only used LLMs as an assistant, where I'm doing something, and an LLM helps me along the way. Code autocomplete feels like a great example of how useful it can be when it gets it right. I don't doubt that over time this will improve, but I'm excited to see a more significant transition from this assistant mode to a compiler mode, at least for coding. It will be exciting when we focus solely on the context we fed the LLM, then test the features

2 It should have been a night for Jim Leslie to savor. On July 8, 1976, the Louisiana State Senate passed what was known as the Right to Work Bill. One of the most fiercely debated pieces of legislation in decades, the law did away with mandatory union membership and allowed businesses to hire nonunion workers. Given the interests involved, this was a staggering achievement. Labor had a muscular presence in Louisiana, largely because it was controlled by organized crime. Developers were ordere
