A new clip from the third episode of 'Dark Matter' season two, titled 'Everything Beautiful, Everything Terrible,' shows the series confronting a major plot complication that arose from its multiverse premise. The action-heavy preview suggests the show is directly grappling with the ripple effects of its characters' choices across parallel realities rather than glossing over them.
Researchers led by Teixeira, building on Khoury and Vafa's string theory work, propose that dark energy and dark matter interact and share a common origin tied to an extra 'dark dimension' far larger than other theorized hidden dimensions. In this framework, massive 'dark gravitons' leaking into this dimension could explain why the universe's measured expansion rate differs by about 9 percent depending on when it's measured, an anomaly known as the Hubble tension.
A review roundup names four top Alexa-enabled smart speakers for 2026: the Echo Dot Max, Echo Dot (5th Gen), Echo Show 11 and Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen). The Echo Studio (2nd Gen) and Echo Spot (2nd Gen) also earn honorable mentions for their audio quality and compact design respectively, with the Studio singled out for its powerful, clear sound from three 1.5-inch drivers and a 3.75-inch woofer.
Physicists operating the LZ Dark Matter Experiment nearly a mile underground in South Dakota detected a single subatomic interaction that doesn't match any known physics signature. The team has submitted findings to Physical Review Letters, stressing they cannot yet say whether it's a dark matter signal, background noise, or something entirely new.
A batch of epinephrine allergy injections has been recalled after being found to contain particulate matter, including glass fragments. The recall notice warns that this contamination can cause blockage and clotting in blood vessels if injected.
Apple TV confirmed that Silo season 4, which will be the show's final season, will premiere on July 9, 2027. The announcement came alongside the debut of the season 3 finale and included the release of a first trailer containing spoilers for season 3.
Govee unveiled its Sky Ceiling Light, which it calls the first AI-powered mood-responsive ceiling light, alongside two new COB strip lights and an outdoor light with dual-layer illumination. The ceiling fixture uses an 'AI Lighting Bot 2.0' system along with Govee's Vitality Spectrum and NaturalTone Algorithm to adjust brightness, color temperature, and tone based on mood and daylight conditions. It supports Matter connectivity, includes a DaySync feature tied to time and weather, and carries TÜV Rheinland certification for flicker-free, low-glare output.
Physicists at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota detected an anomalous energy signature inside a liquid xenon tank, caused by something striking a xenon nucleus and making it recoil. Researchers cannot yet identify the source of the collision, but they say it could represent the strongest physical evidence yet for dark matter, potentially a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) passing through Earth.
Gloria Steinem, the American feminist writer and activist, died peacefully at her Manhattan home surrounded by loved ones, according to a statement posted to her Instagram account. She was 92 and had continued working for equality until the end of her life. Steinem was widely known for her decades of journalism, books and activism on women's rights and other causes.
Anker introduced MindBase, a device positioned as a central controller for connected homes, combining Matter compatibility with local AI processing and built-in network-attached storage. The product aims to manage smart home devices while also handling data storage and AI tasks directly on the hardware rather than relying solely on the cloud.
Anker introduced MindBase, an AI-powered smart home hub that centralizes control of its security, energy, cleaning, and audio devices while running a large language model on-device for local processing. The hub offers up to 48TB of local storage with no subscription fees and connects to third-party ecosystems like Matter, Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Home Assistant via a feature called EasyOmni Link. Alongside MindBase, Anker's Eufy brand also revealed new security hardware including the E50 NVR system, a video doorbell, and a window camera.
Anker's Eufy division introduced MindBase, a home AI hub that processes data from its security, energy, cleaning and audio devices entirely on-device using a custom LLM and AI chip, avoiding cloud servers. The hub connects via Anker's EasyOmni Link platform and supports Matter, letting it work alongside Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home devices. Eufy also debuted new security hardware, including a radar-equipped Smart Security Shield sensor and a 3K doorbell with facial recognition that identifies familiar faces from up to 30 meters away.
