Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has begun rolling out Gmail’s Material 3 Expressive redesign via a server-side switch to some users. Design updates include more color usage, rounded cards, minor changes to the Compose button, and a new swipe animation design. Material 3 Expressive is the flavor of the season, even though the broader rollout for Android 16‘s core-system UX will happen later in the year. The design language has already debuted with Android 16 QPR1 beta, and we’

From AI to EVs, demand for semiconductors is exploding, but silicon is hitting its limits. Making more efficient chips requires new materials, ones far less ubiquitous than sand, but the solution might be out there — literally. Space Forge, a U.K. startup headquartered in Cardiff, Wales, recently raised a £22.6 million (approximately $30 million) Series A to make wafer materials in space, where unique conditions unlock new possibilities. For instance, the Welsh startup earlier won funding for

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Every big UI update has its fans and detractors and Material 3 Expressive is no exception. I’ve seen so many contrasting takes online about Android’s incoming design language refresh, with some loving the focus on aesthetics and others decrying the lack of practical additions. While I find myself in neither camp, at least not at this early stage, I do have one big concern. Given Google’s history of design inconsistency across its various apps and products, it r

Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe evidence that traces of precious metals from Earth’s metallic core, including ruthenium and gold, are seeping up into volcanic rocks on the surface. The University of Göttingen-led team examined lava from Hawaii’s volcanic islands and discovered an unusually high concentration of a rare isotope: ruthenium-100, an isotope that’s more common in Earth’s core than in the rocky
