Physicists Smash Record With Magnetic Field 700,000 Times Stronger Than Earth’s

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments. Naturally, a larger magnetic field gives scientists more room to explore—something that may soon be available to physicists in China, thanks to the creation of a record-setting superconducting magnet. In a September 28 statement, the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS

Apple AirPods Pro 3 vs. Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: I compared both, and here's the winner

Christian de Looper/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The first-party advantage is real. The most obvious example of why first-party products are worth considering is the AirPods lineup, led by the new AirPods Pro 3. These headphones offer way more features when connected to an Apple device than when connected to other devices. But Apple isn't the only one to take advantage of its multi-device ecosystem. Samsung does it too, with its Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds headin

Lockless MPSC/SPMC/MPMC queues are not queues

Blog Published Aug 16, 2025 • Last updated Sep 25, 2025 • 10 min read Lockless queues let multiple cores communicate with each other without mutexes, typically to move work around for parallel processing. They come in four variants: {single,multi} -producer {single,multi} -consumer. A producer gives data to a consumer, each of which can be limited to a single thread (i.e. a single- {producer,consumer} ) or shared across multiple threads. But only the single-producer single-consumer (SPSC) queu

Should You Take Omega-3 Supplements? These Are the Benefits and Drawbacks

However, though there are health benefits to omega-3s, it's important to consider the potential risks and whether taking these in supplement form is right for you.

Martin Shkreli has to face claims of copying one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album

Martin Shkreli, better known as Pharma Bro for his price-gouging antics with AIDS medication Daraprim, is going to have to defend against claims of misappropriating trade secrets with the unique Wu-Tang Clan album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

EU probes SAP over anti-competitive ERP support practices

The European Comission is investigating potential anti-competitive practices in aftermarket services SAP provides for its on-premise ERP software. The decision to launch the investigation into the German software giant came after several years of claims from stakeholders in the industry that the company abuses its dominant position in the market when it comes to maintenance and support services. As the main executive arm of the European Union, the European Commission ensures that the EU law is

Testing “Exotic” P2P VPN

How did the moose begin My standard "everyday" solution when it comes to connecting computers into a single network is Wireguard. Wireguard is good, supports p2p, and generally has no downsides. The downsides come from having part of my home infrastructure located in territory controlled by a country that has blocked Wireguard by signatures. This is, of course, utterly disgusting, and what's even more disgusting is that these blocks have long since stopped following any kind of legislation.

Supermicro server motherboards can be infected with unremovable malware

Servers running on motherboards sold by Supermicro contain high-severity vulnerabilities that can allow hackers to remotely install malicious firmware that runs even before the operating system, making infections impossible to detect or remove without unusual protections in place.

I compared Apple Visual Intelligence to Circle to Search, and the winner won’t surprise you

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I might be that annoying friend — the one who always wants to fact-check something. I’m not usually trying to be obnoxious, I just want to make sure I’m getting the correct information, especially when things are so easily faked right now (sorry, it’s true). Honestly, I’ve always been this way, and I think it started with a heavy reliance on Google Lens. Seriously, though, I used Google’s camera-based identifier for everything. Unfamiliar shoes?

Questions to ask when you think need to finish something

Sep 18, 2025 I’ve written before about how I am sometimes haunted by my own side projects that I should finish, but I also want to pursue a shiny new thing instead. After shipping some projects (like PocketCal and Ductts, among others), I think I’ve refined my list of questions that I ask myself when I want to avoid working on an existing project and pursue something else instead. And now… I give them to you. Ask yourself… Does this thing still align with my current goals? Would I start thi

5 Foods Secretly Ruining Your Nonstick Pans

Nonstick cookware excels in certain situations but teflon and nonstick pans have a low-heat design and slick surface, which makes them not the best choice for all foods. When you attempt to develop a proper crust on meat, you'll end up with pale, gray protein instead of the caramelized golden-brown color you're after and worst of all, you may be damaging your pans in the process. The real problem lies in compatibility. Certain ingredients and cooking methods can rapidly degrade nonstick coating

5 reasons why Pixels will never outsell Samsung’s Galaxy phones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority In the tech community, Google’s Pixel and Samsung’s Galaxy phones generate a lot of buzz, creating the illusion that they are neck-and-neck competitors in the sales race. However, the reality couldn’t be more different. Samsung is the undisputed king of the global smartphone market, while Google doesn’t even crack the top five. For context, in the second quarter of 2025, Samsung shipped 58 million phones globally, 13.3 million of which were sold in the US. Du

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE Review: Better AirPods for Android

I’ve been very impressed with Samsung’s third-gen wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro ($190), which were released in 2024, were a solid AirPods Pro competitor for Android owners. Now, they’ve been joined by the Galaxy Buds3 FE, a new entry-level model that looks nearly identical to the Buds3 Pro but trades away a lot of bells and whistles for a more accessible price: $150. The Pro’s high-tech LED “blade” lights are gone, as is head tracking, auto-pause, dual drivers, wireless charging, and f
