We previously reported that Google may be planning to merge Chrome OS and Android, unifying the two operating systems. This could pave the way for future Chromebooks and even a Pixel Laptop powered by Android. Google may have just dropped its clearest hint yet that Android will soon power more than phones and tablets. At today’s

A Tiny Diamond Defect Could Be Blocking Fusion Breakthroughs

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-12 12:56:25

Every part of a fusion reactor is designed for maximum efficiency. Well, in theory, at least. In reality, the materials chosen to bring us closer to fusion don’t always perform as expected, leading to structural glitches that obstruct fusion reactions. Diamond capsules used to safely store hydrogen fuel are no exception, but a new study offers some guidance for researchers hoping to preemptively address these material shortcomings. In a recent Matter paper, material scientists describe how the

Arkansas Hosts the Planet’s Only Public Diamond Mine

In southwest Arkansas, the state government runs what might be the world’s most unusual diamond mine. For the price of a movie ticket, anyone can dig for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park—and keep whatever they find. The 37-acre search field near Murfreesboro sits atop an ancient volcanic pipe that erupted roughly 100 million years ago. That eruption brought diamonds that formed deep within the Earth’s mantle to the surface, where they now wait in the soil for anyone with a garden trowe

A Special Diamond Is the Key to a Fully Open Source Quantum Sensor

Quantum computing is either a distant dream or an imminent reality depending on whom you ask. And while much of this year's Quantum Village at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas is focused on emerging research and threat analysis, Village cofounders Victoria Kumaran and Mark Carney are also working to make a currently available quantum technology more accessible to hackers and anyone else. In a main-stage Defcon talk on Saturday, the pair will present an open source and affordable quan

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux. This distribution was created and maintained by an individual to be an Arch-based Linux distribution that's simple t

When Aret Oymakas started selling diamonds years ago, engagement ring shoppers came in looking for one thing for their brides-to-be: a real, mined diamond. "It was just a diamond," said Oymakas, owner of Livia Diamonds in Toronto. "And you got what you were able to get … in terms of design and budget." These days, not so much. Lab-grown diamonds have become massively popular in recent years, giving the traditional, mined version a run for its money. Oymakas says natural diamonds made up 100
